Why We Need to Go Back to the 1920s

There is a reason it is called "The Roaring Twenties."

Nowadays people listen to rap lyrics full of profanities and young men and women act as if they are constantly in a music video and dropping it like it's hot. Women dressing in booty short and tank tops, while men dress in over-sized t-shirts and baggy pants. But back in the 1920's, everything was different.

Men would actually dress to impress.

See how nice these men look? This is how they looked on a daily basis. Not just if they were going to a court date or a wedding.

Women began a revolution.

Because of these women we got the right to vote. Because of these women we don't have to wear dresses that constantly cover our shins. These women revolutionized their time and paved the way we are able to live today.

New music brought about new dances, Broadway, and a world wide phenomenon.

Prohibition didn't stop anyone from from getting merry.

While speakeasies were immediately shut down if they were found out, that didn't scare away anyone from staring one up.

Netflix and chill has now replaced courting and wooing.

Before Netflix and chill took over there was courtship and men actually chasing the women they wanted. They wrote long sappy love letters, opened and closed car doors for their women, and guys would kiss their girl's hands and caress their face. Not just feel up their leg and expect something in return.

Not only were the people roaring, the economy was too. Which made everyone that much everyone that much happier.

This era also gave birth to a comedic icon.

As well as a sports legend.

Although the 1930's and 40's may not have been so grand, the 1920's were truly fantastic. They paved their way to make changes for future generations and created styles and legends that are known world wide. If I could, I would with out a doubt go back to that era.

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.
