Arguably one of the greatest comic strips ever made, Calvin and Hobbes was more than just comedic entertainment. Brining in fans of all ages, past and present, many readers were able to relive their childhood through the mind, pen, and comedic genius of Bill Watterson. The adventures of a young boy and his stuffed tiger usually included life lessons in the form of metaphors, irony, and on Sundays, color. Although over 30 years old, here are twelve life lessons still applicable today, as told by Calvin and Hobbes...

1. Weekends are always precious

2. People hear what they want to hear

3. Lying never works

4. Technology doesn't always make life easier

5. Being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be

6. Mistakes are forgivable

7. Sometimes it's best to keep your thoughts to yourself

8. There's always someone who will have a different view than yours

9. Never try to grow up too fast

10. Just because things are cheaper doesn't mean they're the same

11. Life's more fun when you can laugh at yourself


12. There's beauty in the unknown

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.

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.
