Countless beach days and summer books have me gazing out to that mysterious ocean so many of us love and wondering why it really would be better to live under the sea. Well, after some logical conclusions, I'm ready to trade in my legs.

1. Shell phones and magic conch shells

Communication just got 1000x more aesthetic.

2. Sea shell bras

3. Or better yet... no bras.

4. Constant mermaid hair

5. You could nap in the bathtub without drowning

6. No need for a summer bod because your curves actually keep you warm

This is just a simple marine mammal fact that I find heart-warming.

7. No legs = No shaving

Having scales never felt so good.

8. You'd be bffs with beluga whales

Look at the precious!

9. AND MANATEES

AKA God's most perfect creature

10. Fresh sushi's probably an everyday thing

The face of someone who knows the sushi is also free.

11. Travel is ridiculously easy

You can literally swim anywhere and you save thousands of dollars on plane tickets!

12. Showers under tropical waterfalls is nbd

13. You can explore the Titanic (and things that have yet to be discovered)

The amount of vintage items you'd find...

14. "Where'd you get that beautiful necklace?" "Oh, a sea witch once stole my voice but it's a souvenir now"

15. Everyone would be hypnotized by your voice

16. Men have to listen when you say no (because you can drown them, obvi)

17. But when you wanted them, it'd be easy.

Because you're a frickin' mermaid?? Who would say no??

18. Everyone would try and take candid photos of you

19. You get to do THIS

There would obviously always be spurts of water accentuating your flowing hair and a perfect rock that jutted out of the ocean for moments like these. Why? Because you're a mermaid.

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.
