What You Need To Know This Week In The 'News'

Is this really news? Probably not.

What You Need To Know This Week In The 'News'
ianfarrington.wordpress.com

Every single day the internet has something new and beautiful to offer up. Whether that means productive information, jokes, or hilarious videos and clips is really up to you. Personally, I enjoy a good laugh from something I've never seen before (and occasionally things I've rewatched 500 times).

While there are plenty of serious things happening in the world right now I also know that occasionally there should be a break from all of the seriousness. It's hard to stay positive when you just hear about all of the bad stuff that happens.

This week you've missed the following.

This kid failing at well... everything.

I just think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Shout out to the subreddit "r/childrenfallingover" for bringing this beauty into my life. While this isn't technically news, it is definitely something that should be. Hello, Fox News, you should have a fails segment. It would seriously help your ratings out.

These not so skilled thieves...

I'm honestly not convinced that this even needs an explanation. Just know that you missed it and you needed to see it.

A woman fell into a trash compactor?

OK, so maybe this one isn't a video, but I couldn't resist mentioning it. I think it's pretty ridiculous that someone would agree to retrieve a teenagers' keys from a trash compactor. At that point, I would simply declare my keys a loss and move on with my life. But since this woman decided to be a good Samaritan, she certainly deserves to be recognized as some kind of hero, right?

Ferris Bueller gets old.

While I wasn't born when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released, it's been a movie that I've bonded over with plenty of my friends. It's pretty strange to me that this iconic film has finally turned 30. Fortunately, I'm sure it still has plenty of time left to be relevant.

So if you're like me and you can't stand reading really depressing news, that was some of the pretty cool things you missed out on.

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.
