10 Reasons Why I'm Not Ready for a Ring by Spring, As Told by New Girl

As Spring approaches, engagements will cover your Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds. Here are 10 reasons I won't be on them.

1. This semester, I once skipped my 8 a.m. Volleyball class for an entire week. I have a responsibility problem... and possibly an attendance problem.

2. I make $90 a week, can barely pay rent, and have never had to file taxes. I am not educated enough for a joint bank account, a mortgage or filing taxes together. I can barely even dress myself daily.


3. I enjoy food too much to buy it for sharing with anyone but myself.

4. Marriage leads to children and I think I might actually still be a child.

5. If I can't even handle my own mood swings 24/7, no one else is going to be able to.

6. I take up the entire bed. The entire bed. The entire queen sized bed. There is no room for another human.

7. I can cook four things... half of those are coffee.

8. I spend more time with Netflix than I will with my husband at this point in my life.

9. I need to make a 9-5 commitment before I can make a 24/7 commitment.

10. Finding myself is infinitely more important right now than finding my soulmate.

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.
