15 Best Things About The World That Everyone Forgets About
Anna Cornetta

Although the world seems a little grim sometimes, there is always so much to be happy about! Here are 15 of the best things about life that will make you smile!

1. When a baby holds your finger with their whole hand

There really is nothing cuter than a tiny human whose whole hand only fits around one adult-sized finger!! If babies don’t make you smile I’m not sure what will.

2. Hugging people!

You really can’t beat a nice long hug from someone you love or haven't seen in awhile. The type of hug where someone’s arms go over and someone goes under, those are definitely the best kind of hug.

3. When the food comes to your table

Stomach-rumbling, mouth-watering type of hunger -- and the food finally arrives. Only risk: when the server walks by with what seems like your order then goes to another table...

4. When you see UPS drop off your package

Whether it’s something you ordered online or maybe a care package from your mom, a package with your name on it has to give you a smile!

5. Summer thunderstorms

When the air is warm, the rain is chilly...

6. Sunsets/Sunrises

The cotton candy sky, the first twinkling star, the reflection of the sun on the ocean...need I say more?

7. Laundry detergent that smells delicious

Although tide pods are fun these days, the best laundry detergent is the one that makes you smell so clean & fresh!!

8. Diving into a wave

This one may take the cake: diving under the wave, it rushes over you, and coming up a moment later breath of fresh air.

9. Waking up from a really good dream

You know those dreams you just wake up smiling about? You know you’re going to have a good day when you wake up smiling.

10. Going to bed in clean sheets after a shower

No one can argue that this is hands down the best feeling.

11. When your pet cuddles you on their own

It’s nice when you put your cat or dog on your lap and they stay, but it’s even better when they come snuggle with you themselves!!!

12. Wearing a swimsuit 24/7 in the summer

You can't even complain about the sunburn when you're spending days at the beach!

13. Driving under a bridge when it's raining

For those two seconds, you can see clearly now, the rain is gone!!

14. When it’s the middle of the night and the sky is weirdly bright

Maybe from a reflection of snow, or just from night lights, but sometimes the sky is so bright in the night and how cool is that?!

15. Finding a new song that you can’t stop listening to

A song that maybe pulls at your heartstrings, or has a great bass drop...finding new music is the best of the best.

So, go hug your friend or look at the sky because there is so much in life to smile about!!

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.
