Oh, One Who Knows All!

We have many different kinds of friends.

The one who takes fashion very seriously.

The one who you consider your therapist.

The one who you wish you were.

The one all the boys like.

The ridiculously smart one.

All of them are always there for you, and all of them you would consider sisters on certain days.

But today we aren't talking about those friends, today we are talking about your psychic friend.

OK, so this is not an episode of That's So Raven this girl doesn't actually have visions that land you guys in a huge problem, but she's the girl who has always been the first to call things before they happen. She called that couple breaking up months ago, she called that you would all hate that girl by senior year, she called that your teacher was pregnant when she was only 8 weeks along.

Maybe it can get really annoying because at first you think she's just trying to say all these things to start pointless drama, or bring attention to something that's never really been an issue. However I want you to trust me, one day you will have this feeling of, "Oh my god, why did I never listen to you in the first place?"

I'm not about to tell you to start listening to that friend 24-7, because you need to learn the hard way that this person will always be right.

And trust me Diamonds, she's always right.

Change In The August Air.

I'm sure plenty of you now have tanned skin, sun kissed hair, and an abundance of stories to tell your friends when you return to school.

But has anything really influential happened to you?

Something life changing?

Your tan is not life changing. Unless you have Irish skin like me, then you can brag.

I have always believed in Summer, it's the time when your life makes the most unbelievable change, and that's why we love it.

We all claim to love routine, always knowing what comes next and no surprises, but where's the amusement in that?

Where's your excitement?

Honestly yes, we love knowing certain things in our life won't change. Our birthday will always be the same day, our dogs will always wait for us at the door when we come home, our friends will always hug us when we cry, and there will always be a celebrity train wreck.

But I promise you, if you saw who you will meet in the future, where you will go to college, what your career will be, who you will marry, how many kids you will have, when you'll retire. If you saw that all in front of you, you would try to change it. Maybe you wouldn't be able to change it, but you wouldn't want to know everything about your life just like that.

So I guess we can always count on surprises, especially during the Summertime.

If something in your life hasn't changed during this summer, you may feel like you've missed out, but you might also want to feel grateful, because not every change is a good change.

But if it's something you really want, to change your life. Then do it by yourself, it's actually incredibly simple.
