10 Reasons Why You Should Take A Nap

Naps are one of the best things that can happen to you. There's nothing quite like getting an unexpected chance to drift off for a little bit. Here are ten reasons why you should take a nap.


1. Because you didn't get enough sleep last night.

Whether you had to wake up too early, or you went to sleep too late, this is probably the most common reason for taking a nap.


2. Because that mid afternoon slump is hitting you hard.

For some reason, when three o'clock roles around your eyelids become heavier than led. The best solution for beating that bought of afternoon tiredness is to sleep through it.


3. Because you have a break between classes.

Class can tucker you out. You put in the work and you deserve some r&r.


4. Because you're in class.

Sometimes that r&r can't wait and you end up dosing off during a long lecture.


5. Because you're going for a car ride.

Car rides can be boring. The fastest trips are always the ones that you sleep through.

6. Because you're cozy.

Sometimes you're all cuddled up in a blanket on your couch and it just happens. Especially if you have a comfortable couch.


7. Because you're watching a boring movie.

There's nothing quite like drifting off to a movie you don't care about anyway.


8. Because you don't want to deal with anyone or anything.

Life can be hard. Sometimes you just need a mental break and a little nap to give you the boost you need to finish the day off strong.


9. Because you didn't want to be awake in the first place.

We've all woken up and immediately decided to go back to bed at least once in our lives.


10. Because you can.

Do you really need a reason? Naps are the best!

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.
