A survival guide of what to do instead of freaking out when your friends bail on you.

Face it, we've all had people cancel plans with us sometime or another. Sometime's aren't as bad as other times. But what do you do when you were really looking forward to hanging out with a friend and they bail on you? Instead of freaking out and going to bed (like we want to do). Here's what you should do.

Go work out

Go to the gym and burn off some steam! Nothing will make you feel better than working out physically, mentally, and spiritually. What better way in saying "Hey you're a crappy friend" than going to the gym and working on becoming better.

Hangout with someone else

Call up that long lost friend that you haven't seen in a while and see if they want to go see that new movie that just came out. Make sure to add that your friends bailed on you to make them feel bad.

Go talk to your mom or dad

No matter what happens with you and your friends, your parents will always be on your side. They will make you feel better and probably cook you food if you tell them your friends bailed. Then they'll tell you how they've never liked that friend anyways.

Eat yourself to happiness

Go grab yourself your favorite snack and watch your favorite show on Netflix. I know it's not as fun and as hanging out with your friends would've been but they bailed, so they suck.

Go do whatever you were going to do with them, by yourself

Being in college I've learned that its cool to be by yourself and do things by yourself. You can go eat by yourself, shop by yourself and see a movie by yourself. Who needs anyone else when you have yourself? Anyone who judges you for being by yourself is missing out on life because being by yourself is great.

Although your friend just bailed on you, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they really did have something else important to do, or maybe they really didn't feel well. I'm not saying to stop being friends with them because they bailed, I'm saying don't get all worked up and upset on them bailing. There will be other times when they won't bail and you'll do whatever it is that you want to do.

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.
