Relaxation and revamping is something we all need to do every once and a while. Whether it be after a long week, stressful situation or just the feeling of taking on too much? Take a load off and set aside a personal day. We all need to take a personal day to keep ourselves sane from our crazy lives. Here are some signs that you need a personal day:

1. When you wake up and the first thing you think about is going to bed that night

2. When you've hit your caffeine limit for the day, yet your body is shutting down

3. When you've become numb to a serious or stressful situation because you don't care about the consequences anymore

4. When taking a hot shower is the most exciting part of your day

5. When taking a nap doesn't fulfill the sleep deprivation you have been trying to cope with for the last few days

6. When a night-in of watching netflix, alone in the dark sounds better than going out with your friends

7. When you're having 'one of those days' where everything that could go wrong, goes wrong

8. Having to force yourself to do your makeup or style your hair because you have to leave the house for work or school

9. When no matter the time of day, you just want it to be over

10. When no matter how many times you distract yourself with your phone, watching tv or your computer, you find yourself even more unmotivated

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.

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.
