10 Basic Essentials For School

1. Book Bag

Or backpack if you prefer. You have to keep your stuff somewhere. I mean you can't hold everything in your arms all day! Plus they come in many colors and patterns to express yourself.

2. Mechanical Pencils

Mechanical pencils are also very colorful and are more convenient when your lead breaks (as long as you have plenty of refill lead). However with some, when your eraser is gone you may have to toss it. But always keep more than one with you at all times.

3. Colorful Pens

I don't know about you, but I have to color code my notes. I personally like to have a different color for each class. Blue for Math, green for Science, basic black for English, and purple or other dark color for History.

4. Highlighters:

For studying highlighters are a must have. If you highlight the important stuff than you will be able to remember it better for whatever the color you choose. Trust me! If you know the most important stuff the best it will be easier to recall some of the smaller information. And don't do this...

5. Pencil Pouch

How else are you going to keep your colorful objects away from those people who try to use all your stuff? Make sure you have one they can't see through though, because if you lie to them they will plainly see right through you.

6. Binders

Retain a separate binder for each class, perhaps even in different colors. Not only will you have better organization, but it will be easier to find what your looking for in case you need something fast.

7. Notebooks


Where else are you going to keep all your organized notes! I also color code them with the binders. But that's just me!

8. Notebook Paper


Because your always going to have that one teacher who thinks paper is cheap. And there is always that one person who is going to ask for paper every time. Trust me, It will happen if it hasn't already.

9. Lunchbox


Your going to get hungry in that one class so go ahead and pack you a bunch of snacks in with your lunch.

10. Good Attitude

Needless to say, but this is important. If you don't go into school with a good attitude, then you are going to have a bad day. You will also not be able to focus as greatly as normal. Maintaining a good attitude at school is the key to making the best out of 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.

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.
