Why You Should See Wonder Woman

First of all, her hair gets frizzy. Just like a normal person.

I went into the theater seriously doubting how good this movie would be and came out a firm Wonder Woman fan. I can't even begin to say how happy I was with this movie. Diana is the best role model for modern women I can think of. She is a bad-a**, tough-as-nails woman who is not afraid to show her stuff. She is creative, intelligent and kind.

A few things really made Diana stand out to me as a female super-hero in a male-dominated world. First, she wasn't afraid to ask questions. She isn't burdened with any fear of social faux-pas, and she draws her own conclusions from her observations. Second, she is educated. She is obviously well-read and speaks hundreds of languages, effectively shattering any residual "women shouldn't be educated" crap that is hanging around. Lastly, she is kind. She is filled with a love for the world and a great compassion for those who are suffering. This doesn't make her weak, nor does it reduce her power in any way. In fact, in only increases it.

Lastly, the men in the movie are not bumbling idiots whose only purpose is to not get in Diana's way. They are strong, compassionate people who are her equal partners in their mission. They are needed by her, as she is by them.

All-in-all Wonder Woman is a few hours well spent.

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.
