First up is a guide to making a home-cooked meal. It is important to cook actual food, so let's just follow these easy steps.

1.) Pick out what you want to make ahead of time, and make sure you pick up the correct ingredients so that when you're ready to make it, you already have everything.

2.) Stow everything until you're ready to make it. That home-cooked meal is gonna be so good.

3.) Today is that day! When you get home, the meal is so gonna get cooked!

4.) Get home after work at 6 pm, and realize you have a soccer game at 7 pm, so get ready for that instead.

5.) Get home again and realize it's 8:30 pm but remain dedicated and pull up the recipe.

6.) Realize it takes 30 minutes to prep and 45 to cook, and by that time it'll be after 10 pm.

7.) Okay, ordering pizza it is!

8.) Realize you don't want to really spend money on pizza.

9.) Oh, there are some hot dogs in the fridge.

10.) Success!

Now that that went as planned, here is a step by step plan to paying off your student loans!

1.) Access your loans. See how much you actually have to pay off. Chances are it's 50-75K

2.) Alright, we know how much we owe, now let's get a job to start being able to pay for this!

3.) Get a full-time, minimum wage job.

4: Er, nope, need more money than that, let's get something that pays a little more, like 12 dollars an hour, that seems fair.

5.) Er, still nope. Need more money. How about more hours? 50 should be okay.

6.) Don't pay any bills.

7.) Don't eat either! You need every cent of your paycheck to go to paying this loan off! It's important and effects your credit!

8.) Okay, doing well, we have a solid plan, and these loans will be paid off in no time! 50 hours at 12 dollars an hour and not paying a single cent to anything else! We're in business!

9.) Continue for three straight years!

10.)You did it! That wasn't so hard, was it?

And finally, a step-by-step guide to living a privileged life!

1.) Realize that life is all about you. You might have friends or family that are struggling, but that's their issue. This is all about you, baby!

2.) Get opportunities that others might not get.

3.) Take those opportunities, but don't realize their significance.

4.) Put down everyone else who is struggling and isn't in your position. Make sure to remind them how easy it is for you, and exactly how good your life and opportunities were.

5.) Blame the younger generation. Mention things like them being spoiled, and wanting everything handed to them.

6.) Count all that money you have, and keep bringing up how hard you worked for that opportunity that was given to you. Say "America" a lot.

7.) Tell people to stop spending all that money on things they don't need, like cell phones and lunch.

8.) Re-do steps one to seven multiple times, until you feel that your point was made.

9.) Remake your point, but in angrier words.

10.) Congratulations, you're privileged! No one else but you deserves the things that you have, and if they didn't do everything the same exact way that you did, no wonder they are struggling. Life is so much easier when you are you!

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.
