11 Things You Will Never Be Too Old to Enjoy
Lauren Kelly

We’ve all had those moments when we guiltily indulge in things that are meant for children. While we were at the state fair of Texas, I actually told one of my friends yesterday that we couldn't get on a ride because it was a children’s ride. It got me thinking. First of all, that was pretty mean of me to say and secondly, who cares? Who cares if it’s meant for children? If it’s fun, and we enjoy it, why not? I refuse to let myself become an ageist. There should be no shame in having fun! So here’s a list of 11 things that are designed for children but we will never get too old for:

1. Capri Suns — otherwise known as the best damn juice pouch on planet Earth.

2. Bounce Houses — no explanation needed.

3. Face Painting — who doesn’t want to look like a mermaid, lion or a pirate for a day?

4. Trick or Treating — duh, candy.

5. Watching Disney Movies—because I’ll always wanna be where the people are.

6. Building a Blanket Fort — who needs a man cave when you can have a blanket fort?

7. Playing in the Sprinklers — come on, not all of us have a pool.

8. Balloon Animalsif anything, it’s just fascinating to watch the process of them being made.

9. Happy Meals — once again, no explanation needed.

10. Themed Birthday Parties — it’s my birthday, and I will use little mermaid plates and cups if I want to.

11. Friendship Bracelets even if it's with your dog.

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.
