14 Little Things That Can Make Your Day Brighter
Funny Junk

1. Tiny milestones.

You got up today! You had breakfast! You ran for the bus and caught it!


2. The first snow of the year.

After the initial snow and the next day of playing in it, snow turns to slush and the cold is less fun. But the initial "first" is great!


3. Melty grilled cheese sandwiches.

Or mozzarella sticks. Anything with melty cheese that you pull apart. Ahh yiss.


4. That one video that will always make you laugh.

Like the Jurassic Park theme badly played on the melodica.


5. There are people in your life who love you and care about you.

Your mom or dad, sibling, roommate, friend, or significant other. Someone out there cares about you!


6. Googly eyes put on inanimate objects.

Googly eyes make everything silly.


7. Bubble baths.

Or, if you're not a bath person, a nice, long, hot shower.


8. Dancing in your room as you clean.

You have fun and feel productive afterwords!


9. That one really photogenic cat.

Like it's so pretty and photogenic? Look at that cat go, being all beautiful and stuff! Proud of that cat.


10. Seeing someone dressed well.

Look at them dressing up! They feel good and look good! Go that person!


11. Hugs.

Or if you're not a hug person, the people who respect you and your personal space and give you a high five or a smile instead.


12. All the music you can listen to on Spotify.

There is so much of it! Songs by everyone, all kinds of music for all occasions. There are so many possibilities!


13. Art.

Someone put a lot of thought and hard work into that drawing or painting or sculpture or photograph. And what's really cool is they created something beautiful.


14. Unfilled journals.

Look at all the stories you haven't told yet, all the adventures you haven't gone on. They're just waiting to happen so that you can write them down!

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.
