11 Reasons Drinking Water Is Better Than Doing Drugs

In This Article:

We ALL know what it's like to compare our personal rebellions to what we could be doing- drugs.

1. Water + water + water = clear skin.

Admit it, when you're sipping on that water for a while, your skin is the most beautiful thing that you've ever seen. Drugs? Your face doesn't get any benefit.

2. You prevent yourself from saying anything stupid.

If you're constantly drinking that water, you don't have the opportunity to say something that you will regret, right? Doing drugs? Probably regrettable.

3. You're hydrated and not die-drated.

Drugs are dangerous. Water is not.

4. Water is legal.

I know this one was obvious... but just in case that it wasn't, it has been said. 8

5. Water is not sketchy.

You know what's inside of a perfectly good bottle of Aquafina. Drugs? Honestly, it's a mystery.

6. Water has never let you down.

Things that will let you down: men, drugs, (and possibly) fast food.

Things that will not let you down: tasty goodness of fresh WATER.

7. Water is good for your organs.

I'm not a health expert, but I can tell you that your organs LOVE water. Drink it all of the time. Make your organs happy. especially your liver, she needs a break! (if you know, you know).

8. You are eligible to get more tattoos.

Having healthy blood comes from drinking water. Healthy blood = tattoo city. And at the end of the day, getting a tattoo is way more exhilarating than doing drugs.

9. You pee constantly.

Now, I know this sounds like a downer, but if you're constantly peeing- just think of all of the things that you can get out of!

Person: Hey, can you move these heavy boxes?

You: Nope! Hydrate or diedrate! Gotta PEE for the 30th time today!

10. Water doesn't make your breath smell bad.

Enough said.

11. Water will not kill you, unless you drown.

Kind of morbid, but DRINKING water won't kill you. At least I hope not. Drugs on the other hand... you never know.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
