Especially with the new semester!

Decide what you want to do

It doesn't matter what other people want you to do or expect you to do. It only matters what you want to do and to just simply do that.

Know where you need to improve

I know it's hard to realize where you need area of improvements. Just sit down and reflect upon yourself and figure out what you want to fix about yourself.

Spend time with positive and important people in your life

There's no sense in surrounding yourself with negative people in your life because then you'll have the same negative attitude that they have.

Set goals for yourself

What do you want to accomplish with this life of yours? You don't need to have hundreds of goals; just set some for yourself and see what happens!

Free yourself of baggage and clear yourself

Do not hold onto the past. If you hold onto the past, you will never stop being anxious. You need to realize mistakes happen and you can move past them - no matter how bad.

Take care of yourself

Your mind and your body are so important. Make sure you are taking time for your mental health and physical health.

Try and have some fun

Don't be so serious all the time! You deserve some fun in this life.

Always be grateful

There are so many things in this world to be grateful for. Even when the bad things come, be grateful they happened and that you can earn a lesson from them.

Understand you can't control everything

There's just absolutely no way. Just let things happen, good or bad. And trust that it will keep getting better.

Try something new 

You'll never know what you could discover if you just stick with your comfort zone.

Don't rush things

There is time for a reason. Let time do what it needs to do and just trust in it.

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.
