Ways Pinterest Can Ruin Your Life
Pinterest

Pinterest is a wonderful invention. It's like social media for all of your obsessions. Things like food, clothes, fandoms, decorating, and so many more are abundant. And, you can "pin" as many items as you want with just the swipe of your finger. It really is an internet bulletin board! But something so wonderful can have it's downsides (like maybe taking over your life), and here are a few of them.

1. It makes you think you can cook

"But it said it was an easy recipe!!"

2. It makes you want to workout, but you sit inside on Pinterest all day.

Instead of doing the workouts you see on Pinterest, you just pin them and keep scrolling

3. It makes you want kids right now

Even when you really don't. Like, really, really don't. I am in college.

4. It's a great way to procrastinate!

...Which isn't so great for your school work.

5. It makes you want to buy all the fancy clothes.

Especially the ones that you can't afford.

6. It gives you a motivational quote for every situation.

Which can be a little awkward if you start to use them in every day life. But you will probably do it anyway.

7. It makes you want to plan so many vacations.

Which again, you definitely can't afford.

8. It makes you think you can do all the crafts.

And sometimes you can! But sometimes you really just can't. Better to leave those to the Pinterest professionals.

9. It makes you want to plan out your whole entire life before you have even finished school.

Including your future house, dogs, cars, kids, husband, job, and everything in between.

10. It makes you think you can do perfect hair and makeup.

Sadly though, it really is harder than it looks. And it looks pretty hard.

11. It makes you want to plan your wedding, when you don't even have a boyfriend.

Which makes you kind of sad that you're single but you just look up more wedding dress pins to make you feel better again. It's a never ending cycle.

12. It ruins your sleep schedule.

And it's because you scrolled through Pinterest on your phone for hours after you got into bed.

13. Once you start pinning, you'll never want to stop!

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.
