A 10 years old perfect fantasy. A day off from school to play in the snow. The hot chocolate, the movies, the snowmen and the sledding: what more could a kid want! As most children do, they take it all in, they enjoy every bit of the day and don't worry about what is next on their agenda. They enjoy every moment of the cold, crisp wind making their cheeks fire-engine red and the catching of snowflakes on their tongues without distraction. No phones, no computers, no homework posted online just a day full of fun and relaxation with their friends.

As you get older, the snow days become less about the playing in the snow and enjoying the amazing act of nature outside, but more about laying in your bed scrolling tropical island accounts on Instagram hoping your parents think you're sleeping so they don't ask you to help shovel. We loose the sense of excitement about what is happening right under our noses that we had when we were younger and focus more on places we would rather be.

In life we as people are constantly planning ahead and focusing on the future to the point where we are no longer enjoying what is happening in the now. It is human nature to plan ahead and look forward to things in your life, short and long-term, such as: what is for dinner tonight, what your doing next Saturday, your future job, where you're going to live and maybe even your future husband! With that said, living in the now and appreciating all of the little things this world has to offer is very important. Whether you're taking in the sunset on that hot night in June, enjoying your favorite salad from the little sandwich shop sown the street or putting your phone down while you're at dinner with 5 of your closest friends, lets live life like the 10 year old playing in the snow enjoying his or her perfect snow day.

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.
