10 Things I Do Now That I Have a Fitbit

After much insistence that I didn’t need to join in on the craze, I caved and asked for a Fitbit for my birthday. Now that I have one, I might as well have it sewn to my arm, I’m so attached to it. And, I have to say, I’ve definitely noticed some differences in the things I do throughout the day…

1. Go for walks, even when its 90 degrees outside.

2. Am extremely self-conscious about the way I swing my arms.

3. Forget that its also a watch and still use my phone to check the time.

4. Get up to get things I could have easily reached sitting down.

5. Go up or down stairs to talk to people I can easily hear from where I am.

6. Feel incredibly sporty in all situations.

7. Get really angry when I forget to wear it.

8. Put it on the second I wake up.

9. Take it off right before I crawl into bed, after much debate over whether I’m going to get up again or not.

10. Still refuse to trust that it’s counting my steps correctly because I totally walked way more than that.

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.
