Let's be real here... as much as we all dread cleaning and reorganizing, it's just one of those things that comes along with life. With that being said, I hope I can speak for the majority of us when I say that cleaning out one's closet or bed room isn't always an entirely awful experience. On the other hand, if your cleaning sprees are too painful to talk about then closing this article is probably your best bet. But if you're like me and you find the "fun" in going through old belongings than keep reading. I guarantee you've had some, if not all of these thoughts while cleaning out your closet!

1. Today's the day!

You wake up feeling so productive, like you are ready to take on the mini world you call your bedroom.


2. It won't take that long.

So you thought...


3. One box at a time, no biggie...

Before you know it, one box turns into five and you've trapped yourself in the closet.


4. Ohhh I remember that day!

Nothing like finding old pictures of you and your friends and reminiscing on the good ol' days.


5. I used to look like THAT!?

The pre-puberty, Girl Scout photo album has just surfaced, and well, let's just say the awkward years were rough times!


6. It's already WHAT time!?

Naturally you wasted an hour or more on your phone updating every social media site, Snap Chatting your progress or lack there of, and sending your friends pictures of the old photographs you came across.


7. Eww I worn that?

Funny how our middle school selves used to think we had keen eye for fashion.


8. I used to love that shirt!

Proceeds to waste more time squeezing into old clothes.


9. I don't even know what this is...

A dingle hopper?


10. Okay this is going no where...

It's going on hour three and basically nothing has been accomplished.


11. Ok, now that's nasty!

It's inevitable that in at least one old purse lays a spit out wad of gum crinkled up in a wrapper.


12. I'm hot!

Well duh, closets are stuffy.


13. I'm hungry!

That my friend is the boredom talking.


14. Must. Keep. Folding.

You'll be fully equipped to work in any retail outlet when you're done!


15. I can't do this anymore!

No I'm not giving up...I'm just finishing it another day!

(That's what they all say...)

Feeling inspired by this article? You are oh so very welcome. Think you can conquer the impossible? Find a couple of hours and go through your old stuff, you'll be surprised at the long lost "artifacts" laying around. I recommend bringing snacks and a drink because sooner or later you may end up barricaded behind boxes. Just be carful not to drop any food because that's a whole 'nother' can of worms...literally!

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.
