Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself

Good morning, Chicago. I can't wait to freeze today.

Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself
Google

It is the inevitable Monday morning. Scratch that. It is the inevitable weekday morning. I-90 is whispering to you good morning, with it's sweet sound of honking horns and sirens. You know it's less than 30 degrees outside, because well, you live in Chicago and that is that way it goes from November-April. Late March if you're lucky. Soon enough, you have realized your bed is the only thing worth value. Your bed is your best friend, the keeper of warmth and the inhabiter of procrastination.

If this is the case, your morning conversations might go a little something like this-

"5 more minutes, I will close my eyes just five more minutes. I promise." Wakes up 15 minutes later.

"How many days of class have I already missed? I better check all 5 syllabus to see how many classes I can skip before it affects my grade.

"Do I feel a little sick today? Headache, stomach ache? I do feel a little nauseous."

"Is it cold enough for class to be cancelled?" Checks the school's website.

30 minutes till class. "Well I guess it's now or never."

Gets up. "I already want to lay back down."

Puts on leggings, boots, two sweatshirts, scarf and coat (that I wear everyday). "Yup, I look great. I don't need gloves, gloves are a hassle."

"I should eat breakfast. No, it's ok. Coffee will do."

"I will brush my teeth though."

Looks down at phone battery- 35%. "This is going to be a great day."

Walks outside. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I want to pull out my phone and change the song but it's too cold. I should have worn gloves."

"There is no one even on the sidewalks. I bet everyone else stayed home. Oh, never mind. There is a guy up ahead. Is that really all he is wearing? Where is his winter parka? He must be freezing."

"Why do I live in Chicago? I should move."

"I think I will get soup for lunch. Soup sounds good."

Checks nearest Panera location. "Nix soup. Too cold to try to get to Panera. Ramen it is."

"Why did I skip breakfast? I am starving. I am going to go hungry."

"How many hours till I get to lay back in bed? The things I would do to lay in my bed and watch Netflix right now."

"Should I turn around? Will I really miss that much? I could text that one classmate and ask them to send me notes."

Swipes CTA pass. "Well this is it. Guess I am really going to do this. School, here I come."

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
