You Might Be A Snowflake If

Over the last few months, the use of the word "snowflake" has become rampant. Suddenly everyone is using the word and throwing it around willy-nilly. You might have been called a snowflake recently, and you might have even called someone else a snowflake. I'm going to explore what a "snowflake" is and help you decide if you identify as one or not. You might be a snowflake if:


1. You are an ice crystal

Yeah, you read that right. A snowflake is actually an ice crystal.

2. You are literally snow.

Snow. That cold stuff we throw at each other. Still identify? Keep reading.

3. You have six arms.

Alright, wtf. Do you really? Sheesh.

4. You melt above 0°C.

Have some fun, before you melt away.

5. You are held together, primarily, by electrostatic forces.

Shocking, right?

6. People say that you are unique, but you actually can be categorized in eight classifications and up to 80 variants.

That's right, you read it here. You're not special.

7. You nucleate around a dust particle in supersaturated air, attracting supercooled cloud water droplets.

Cold as ice AND willing to sacrifice our love.


Did you make it this far? You passed all seven of the main criteria to be a snowflake? Wow. You just might actually be a snowflake. Make sure you fact check before calling anyone else a snowflake, too. Stay woke out there, snowflakes.

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.
