It's the little things that count

10 Reasons Why 2016 Was Your Year
Kiplinger

Every year as we approach the end of December and the beginning of January, people tweet and write articles on and write Facebook posts to say that the ending year has really not been their year. People sometimes have bad years but not everybody has a bad year every single year. Instead of looking back on the year with pessimism and bitterness, let's look back at all the great things that happened this year and remember that it's the little things that count.

1. That shopping spree where you got great deals on everything.

2. When you got a better grade than expected on that huge research paper.

3. Every single time you laughed.

4. When spring came and made the world outside warm again.

5. When your brother actually responded to your snap chats.

6. Because you and your besties had tons of fun together.

7. That time that cute guy/girl actually smiled at you and your face looks like this:

8. Every single notification you got from your group messages. Because even though group texts are annoying, we can all be thankful to have friends like those.

9. When your mom randomly bought you coffee and some of your groceries and dropped them off at your dorm.

10. Because 2016 was full of great memories.

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.
