Dear 2016 Me...

What I would tell myself if I could go back to the start of this year

Dear 2016 Me...
bostern

If I could go back to the start of 2016 and give myself some advice, this is what I would say:

1. This election year will be all sorts of crazy. Pray for our country and then hope for the best.

2. Don't worry that you're out of shows to watch, Netflix's got you covered. They have some good stuff coming out in 2016, you just wait!

3. Don't be alarmed when people start taking videos of frozen people in the middle of the street. It's apparently going to be some sort of challenge video.

4. All these funny dances will come out that start to become a trend. Let loose and have fun with it. Hey, you might even end up on Ellen for it.

5. Hold onto your Adam Levine crush because he's still the only reason people watch the voice.

6. Relive your childhood in a new movie thats going to come out. You will be in a children's movie theatre full of adults. Just a reminder to never let go of your young spirit.

7. Life is short. Make sure you remind those you love how valuable they are to you. Live each day to the fullest because terrorism and racism is going to be a big problem in 2016.

8. A gorilla will become the face of the internet. Don't be alarmed. It will pass over eventually. Nah, it won't.

9. Watch where your driving because 40-year-old men will be roaming the streets running after virtual pokemon.

10. Look in the mirror and tell yourself your face is fine the way it is. Because the internet will try to convince you that your lips should look like a Kardashian's.

11. STAY AWAY FROM CLOWNS!

12. Bet your money on the team you don't think will win the world series. Even if that team hasn't won the world series in 108 years. Put every single dollar on it.

Well, 2016 is the year where you will wonder why you should stay living in America. It's the year that the strangest things happen and the worst nightmares became true. So y'all, let's make a deal to make 2017 better.

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.
