My Parents Spoil Me, Get Over It

Why we shouldn't hate kids who are spoiled by their parents

OK, I pretty much get what I want almost all of the time. My car is paid for. I do not have to pay for car insurance. In fact, I don't think I really pay for anything at all. I don't pay a dime for rent. My parents also have allowed my boyfriend to live with me. We have been together for four years and have lived together almost the majority of our relationship. All of this sounds unusual, right? Not so much.

Why struggle? I seriously do not understand this. Why would I want to be in a rush to move out so quickly from my parents' house? Both of my parents see NO problem with my boyfriend and I living under the same roof as them. Both of them have the same point of view when it comes to raising their kids; why watch them struggle like we did? Call it being privileged.

Call it WHATEVER you want. My parents want me to be the happiest I can be. I am choosing to work and save money at the same time so that I can make it on my own one day. They don't want me living paycheck to paycheck. They don't want to have me to have to apply for government assistance like they had to, or perhaps scrape change for a car payment, mortgage, or whatever the case may be. Any parent should want better for their children than what they have, no matter how good/bad they had it growing up!

Now lets not get the situation messed up. I save money. I save plenty of money. I work a lot for what I do have. I would absolutely love to be independent and start a family one day. However, If push ever came to shove, I have a great support system.

I have a few words for those who dislike my situation or say that I should be more of an adult by now build a bridge, and get over it!

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.
