15 Reasons to Thank Your Parents
Kaitlyn Craig

My parents mean so much to me! Without them I wouldn't be where I am and I wouldn't be who I am with out them. Here are a few reasons to look back on and thank them for all that they have done for you!

1. For all the times they held you

Whether you were a newborn or a cranky teenager every moment is precious to them and it gives you comfort.

2. For all the times they wiped your tears

No matter what they were always there to wipe your tears and pick up the pieces.

3. For all the times they told you everything was going to be alright

Even if they knew it wasn't or was they said everything's going to be alright out of reassurance for you.

4. For all the times they held your hand

Whether they were trying to keep you from getting hit by a car or just holding your hand to love on you they are always right by your side holding on.

5. For all the times they helped you over come your fears

They might have been scared of your fear as well but they wanted you to be strong and they wanted to help you overcome your fears.

6. For all the times they pushed you to be better

It might have seemed like they were hard on you to be perfect, but they just wanted to push you to make you who you are today.

7. For all the times they had confidence in you

Whether you believed in yourself or not your parents always have.

8. For all the times they supported you

Whether it was the first day of ballet class when you were 2 or your final performance as a senior in high school. they have always supported you the whole way.

9. For all the times they helped you with your homework

in preschool it was helping you color the right square, in 2nd grade it was making sure your subtraction problems are right, in middle school it was helping you with math. In high school it might have been help on a project. No matter the occasion they were always willing to help.

10. For all the times they tucked you in at night

No matter what they were always there to tell you good night and to tuck you in and to say" don't let the bed bugs bite".

11. For all the times they kissed your boo-boo's

Everyone knows that mommy's kisses made boo-boo's magically stop hurting.

12. For all the times the told you to stop

Whether you were having fun, or laughing, or just messing around they always told you to stop. Mothers know best!

13. For all the times they grounded you

You probably did something stupid and you knew it. They were just doing their parent duties and doing that is right.

14. For all the times they drove you to school/practices

You know that if it weren't for them you would have never made it to school or practice on time.

15. For all the times they said I love you

You know that your parents love you but when they say it it makes you feel special inside.

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.
