With school quickly approaching, it's important to get supplies that will help you flourish this school year. I've compiled a list based on my experience, of some of the more essential school supplies.

1. Headphones

Whenever I have music on, I instantly block out all distractions and am able to focus on the task on hand. Having headphones makes me actually work more efficiently and pay attention to the quality of my work.

2. Deodorant

Personal hygiene is essential for the sake of yourself and others.

3. Gum

Many high school students hold the opinion that the action of chewing gum helps them stay alert and focused. Gum also helps your breath stay fresh and clean. Hopefully you aren't blowing any bubbles or making a mess at school.

4. Snacks

Healthy snacking throughout the day boosts your metabolism, and it definitely helps to not have a grumbling stomach to distract you from your work.

5. Pens and pencils

This one is kind of an obvious choice, but make sure you come to class prepared with a pen or pencil so you don't have to ask your classmates or your teacher.

6. A lunch bag

Taking a lunch bag to school gives you power and control over what you're putting in your body. It allows you to choose healthier options that will ensure a more productive day.

7. Phone charger

While you shouldn't be on your phone during class, it's still important to keep it charged throughout the day. This one from Urban Outfitters is so cute and stylish!

8. Water bottle

Having a water bottle with you helps keep you hydrated and limits the amount of times you have to step outside and go to the water fountain.

9. Page dividers

I love office supplies and being organized, so page dividers are perfect for keeping all of your papers in their place and knowing where everything goes. The ones with the little pockets are my favorite because it's extra storage.

10. Tennis shoes

You don't HAVE to have tennis shoes, but I do recommend having a comfortable pair of shoes in your locker or car on days that you're feet are killing you.

11. An extra pair of clothes

Whether you get to school and realize you're outfit wasn't as cute as you thought, you got a huge ketchup stain on your shirt, or you're accidentally matching with someone, it's always nice to keep an extra pair of clothes in your car or locker.

Hope you all have a great school year!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
