What It's Really Like Being A Vegetarian
One Green Planet

1. Everyone thinks that you are a health machine and that all you eat is salad 24/7, but you probably consume more pizza than vegetables.

2. However, you do get cravings for certain vegetables or fruit if you haven't had them in a while. Your body knows what nutrients it needs and will try to tell you.

3. Many misinformed people question how you get your protein, as if meat is the only source.

4. You contemplate getting a juicer because you think you'll use it all the time, but when you finally do, it rarely gets used.

5. People think that your meat substitutes are gross and unnatural, as if their dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets aren't manufactured.

6. You see some vegetable soup... but it's made with chicken broth.

7. You get insanely happy when you find someone else who is a vegetarian. Instant best friends.

8. You get frustrated when people say they love dogs, but then say that they could care less about farm animals because they're 'different'.


9. You really can't see yourself ever going back to being a meat-eater.

10. Giving up any animal product is not really that difficult...except for cheese, but you still try and are determined to make that step one day.

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.
