Why I Gave Up On Animal Crossing A Couple Months After Its Release

I have not touched Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a couple of weeks. I know this may come as a shock to many people as I have put out a lot of content of me playing and sharing the game. I've talked about things I specifically hate about the game, you can read that article here. The new Animal Crossing game is fun, there is no doubt about that. But as the weeks went on, the slow-paced content started to get to me. The way the game is set up, there is only a certain number of things you can do to your island before the game tells you to wait till the next day to advance. I put a lot of hours on to my island, not as much as others, but enough to the point where it became a chore.

For me personally, as I developed my island more and more, I noticed I had a lot of work ahead of me if I wanted to make the best island there is imaginable. It comes down to money, or rather bells, the game's currency. You see, everything cost money and the only true way to earn lots and lots of money is to either grind or pay individuals on eBay to send you expensive items to sell. For me personally, I want to move all the houses on my island, but I don't know where to. On top of that, the ideas I do have involve a lot of terraforming and I personally don't have the energy right now to do all that. Moreover, as I mentioned before everything costs money and with the limit of one construction project per day, it just isn't worth it right now to do anything with it.

I feel bad, because I just have my switch sitting on my desk not getting any attention. I play Just Dance from time to time, but most days I am lazy. Since we are all social distancing, It is hard to get people to come over and play together whether that's Mario Kart or Just Dance. The developers are slowly releasing updates to Animal Crossing but until something extraordinary comes out, I don't see myself spending too much time with the game. Hopefully, things change soon!

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.
