The Independent, United Kingdom Edition

We all have those moments when you've been laying in bed or sitting on the couch for just too long. It begins to feel like your body is molded into the position you're in and your butt is beginning to fall asleep. Or maybe you finding yourself eating when you aren't even hungry. No worries though, we're all are guilty of that one. Whatever it is that you do when you're bored, not to worry, here is a list of 10 things to do when you can't think of anything else to do.

1. Write letters to friends and family

Since when did mailing letters become a lost art? Everyone enjoys getting hand-written mail between all those bills and unfriendly doctor appointment reminders. The ultimate cure for boredom is doing something you know will make another person smile.

2. Give your pet a makeover

Give your pet a major grooming session. Give them a bath, brush their hair, scrub those teeth and paint those nails! They may not enjoy it the whole time, but it is extremely satisfying.

3. Become a fitness guru

It may not last, but get yourself motivated to work out. Download fitness apps or do timed workouts while jamming to you're favorite motivational playlist. You may not decide to do it again the next day, but a little exercise never hurt anyone.

4. People watch

This is perhaps the creepiest pastime, but a personal favorite. Go observe others at a local coffee shop or park. Bring your laptop or a good book, and no one will ever know you're eavesdropping.

5. Make a new food

Go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of ingredients that could possibly go well together. Invite some friends over, mix them up, and taste your concoction.

6. Paint things with nail polish

This may sound odd, but glamorizing your phone case or keys with some glittery nail polish is always fun to do.

7. Take a really good selfie

Glam yourself up; make-up, hair, the whole thing...just for a selfie. There's no shame in taking a really nice looking selfie. Plus, you'll have a great new Instagram photo!

8. Color coordinate your closet

Organize your closet by color. This way, you can easily pick out items of clothing that go with one another!

9. Binge watch a new show

This one is for those who haven't been on the couch all day. Become obsessed with a new show and you won't have to worry about boredom for another second.

10. Make a visualization board

Cut out pictures, phrases, and articles you like from magazines and put them all together to create a creative masterpiece that will inspire you!

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.
