1. Coffee makes everything better.

No matter what time of the day it is, a nice hot cup of coffee will do you good.


2. You can’t force anything in life, including love.

All you can do in life is try, and if something does not work out the way that you wished it would have, it most likely was not meant to happen or for you to have.


3. Sometimes the person you are meant to fall in love with, has been there all along.

Don't go looking for the person you are meant to be with. When the time is right, they will come into your life and everything will work out. Patience is key.

4. Your mom is one of the most important people in your life.

Don't ever take your mom for granted. She is the one who has been there from day one. She has been your number one fan, your personal cook and your nurse. She would go to the end of the world for you because you are her baby. The love between a mother and child is unbreakable.

5. Don’t give up.

If you ever feel like quitting, just think of your dreams and how far you have come. If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

6. Money is not everything.

You might not be the richest in the world, but you do what you can with what you have. You learn to work for what you want, and in the end, it will all work out. Money does not solve every problem in the world. Most importantly, you can't buy your happiness.

7. Follow your dreams.

Don't give up on yourself. If you have a dream, go for it! If you fail, get back up and try again. Great things do not happen on the first try.

8. It is OK to need your mom.

Your mom needs you just as much as you need her. If you miss her, she probably misses you too. It does not mean that you are a child or are weak because you need her, everyone needs their mom every once in awhile.

9. Sarcasm is needed in life.

Who doesn't use sarcasm in their everyday life? It keeps conversations going and keeps everyone on their toes.

10. Sometimes you need to take a break and go on an adventure.

In the most stressful parts of life, an unexpected road trip is needed. Take your mind off of things and go somewhere new. Maybe, even try it without a map!

11. Be proud of who you are.


Never regret the choices that you made that got you to where you are today. Instead, look back and be proud of how far you have come and how your decisions made a positive impact on your life.

12. Take chances.

Every once in awhile, you need to take a chance. Let loose and do something that you have never done before. How do you know that you won't like it if you never try it?

13. No matter what, family is family.

You may fight every day and not get along, but you are still family. Family will be by your side until the end. You are who you are today because of them. You may have not picked them out, but you would probably choose them anyways.

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.
