14 Little Things That Count

Life can become a big tangled ball of due dates and commitments, so the bright side can be a little bit fuzzy. On those days when nothing goes right, try to think of all the little things that make life all the more better.


1. Realizing that you woke up before your alarm.

Nothing says you’re going to have a good day more than waking up to see you don’t have to be up for another hour.


2. Finding money you forgot you had.

Five dollars doesn’t seem like much when it’s in your wallet, but you feel like you just won the lottery when you find one shoved in your jean pocket.


3. Sitting down after a really long day.

We’re all such busy people, we’re always running around and trying to get stuff done. Sometimes the world moves too fast for us to handle. Being able to sit or lay down just gives you a chance to take a breath.



4. Napping.

Like I said, we’re all busy people and sometimes a good ol’ nap is just what we need to give our bodies time to re-energize after being awesome all day.


5. Being able to finally breathe out of your nose after being congested.

If you can breathe out of both your nostrils right now, then you need to take some time to really think about how lucky you are right now.


6. Crossing something off of your “To-Do List.”

Finally crossing that task that has been on your list for five weeks feels like you really have your life together.


7. Finding someone with the same phone charger as you.

For some odd reason, companies decided to make every phone charger a different shape. When someone says they have the same phone as you and gives you their charger after being on two percent, the world just feels like a happier place.


8. Getting two bags of chips out of the vending machine when you only paid for one.

This one is a double win, because it’s just a gamble to see if the first one falls out in the first place.


9. Finding the most comfortable sleeping position.

After tossing a turning for hours, you finally find the I’m-Never-Getting-Out-of-Bed position.


10. When you finally get done cleaning your room.

Taking a step back and realizing that this is probably not gonna last long, but it’s really nice while it lasts.


11. Making a group of people laugh.


Bonus points if it was unintentional.


12. Taking a breath after laughing really hard.

This is also really nice because after laughing for two minutes straight without taking a breath makes you think that you are probably never going to breathe again.


13. That feeling you get after you finish a good cry.

Life gets pretty tough sometimes and crying it out might be the best thing you could do.


14. Finally seeing someone you’ve missed.

After constantly balancing work and school and trying to get everything done, you tend to lose track of how long it’s been since you’ve talked to someone. When you finally get to see their face, it really ties all the little things together.


All in all, life is pretty awesome, so appreciate every little thing.

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.
