Can't wait to represent America!

Why I Qualify For The Olympics

In a time where there are Olympic events for the average person, I would truly excel. The Olympics are, obviously, very entertaining as they're one of the most watched programs every couple of years. I think we should take the Olympics to the next level -- the average people Olympics. Day to day events that some people could be awesome at would definitely be entertaining. I'm not one of those "everyone gets a medal for participation people," so this should be taken seriously because I'm going to win. The following are all events that I would medal in if the Olympics for the average person did exist.

1. Napping.

I could definitely take home the gold in this event. There are some days where I sleep more than I'm awake, and I'm very proud of this.

2. Eating chicken nuggets while driving.

Now, I know I'm not the best at this yet, but I will be. It's much harder than you think because you have to be able to hold your sauce of choice (mine is sweet and sour) and hold a chicken nugget all while holding the steering wheel. Probably a bronze medal on a good day, I'd give myself a silver, but to be honest my driving gets a little risky.

3. Answering texts quickly.

If you need a text back within 30 seconds, I am your gal. I'd probably break the world record for this one.

4. Taking ugly selfies on Snapchat.

Seriously not sure why people still Snapchat me, I must give them nightmares or something. It's all about the angles people!

5. Dropping things and catching them before they hit the ground.

This is one talent that I know could draw crowds to the Olympics. It is a rare talent that I am blessed to possess. Definitely a gold medalist, don't fight me on this.

6. Binge watching shows on Netflix.

I've watched "The Office" 21 times in the past two years; I don't think I have to prove this one much more.

7. Canceling plans and hanging out with my dog.

Really what's better than a Saturday night spent at home with your actual best friend watching movies and eating all the food in your house?

8. Being on time.

I may be pretty flawed all in all, but my punctuality is on point if I do say so myself.

9. Putting my foot in my mouth.

If there is anyone who can say the wrong thing at the wrong time, it's me.

10. Eating two tacos in the time a regular person can eat one.

Not ashamed.

11. Getting sick.

My immune system is the weakest in the game. Try me.

12. Keeping Snapchat streaks alive.

I will not let them die, I'm relentless. Also, I will hold a grudge if you let them die.

13. Ruining a picture by talking.

I just don't shut up, it's fine really. Except for the fact that I have no good pictures with any of my friends.

14. Making self deprecating jokes.

Use this post as an example!

15. Spreading myself way too thin.

What do you mean I can't be in 10 places at the same time? Are you sure there aren't 40 hours in a day for me to get this all done?

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.
