What Single People Want To Say During Engagement Season

We are ecstatic that you're getting married, honestly! It's really adorable to see how happy you are together and see the amazingly cheesy engagement photos....and then the other 17 that you've decided to post because "they were too cute not to!" We agree, it is very cute, but please we don't need to see you, your significant other and your ring 30 times on our news feed. We don't need to be put through that torture. You were in our shoes once, remember? Last engagement season? Weren't you also complaining about the high volume of rings?

Okay, so you don't remember? Let me jog your memory. Engagement season is that happy time of year that everyone is filled with good cheer and holiday spirit, it's a time that everyone realizes what they're thankful for and who they want to get the most thoughtful gift for. That get's people thinking! Man, I'm willing to spend this much or do this sweet of a thing for someone? I must really like them. Hell, maybe even love them. Maybe...just maybe...I love them enough to marry them AND that could be my Christmas gift!

Do you remember now? Thought so. Don't look at us like that. We're just reminding you what it feels like to be on the other side of the screen. I promise you that we are so, so, SO happy for you! Everyone deserves to have their moments of pure, unadulterated bliss on Facebook and in life, but just remember we can't share in your bliss for every single photo. The first few? Okay, sure, the happy couple is gorgeous! But can you let it rest now and just wait until the next set of photos to rub it in our faces?

....Okay...maybe we are a little jealous. You look deliriously happy and then we forget what it's like to be so happy in love that you want to shout out to the rooftops or share it endlessly on Facebook as if to say "LOOK WHO I CONVINCED TO MARRY ME HAHA." While we're on the other end finding the stupidest reasons to be unhappy for you. We think the ring is ugly. Those photos were too cheesy. The couple is way too young. I've actually seen them fight so much, omg.

We're sorry we put a damper on your engagement photos and posts. We forget what it's like to be excited like that sometimes. Just like you forget what it's like to have to see a couple be much happier than what you think you are at this very moment.

Congratulations. Happy Engagement!

(Please stop reminding us every week with a new photo from your engagement session.)

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.
