When 24 Hours Isn't Enough

There isn't enough time in a day.

When 24 Hours Isn't Enough

I often find myself feeling like there isn't enough time in a day. I am always in a constant rush. 24 hours is not enough for me to get everything done. I don't know if this is all due to the fact that I am surrounded by the fast-paced New York City life all the time, or if I am taking on more than I can manage.

My friends constantly tell me I can handle anything that comes my way. They are left in awe when I tell them how many clubs and organizations I belong to, deeming me the "Club Queen." I appreciate it all, but I am terribly afraid of burning out. What is going to happen when I reach my limit?

I sacrifice time with my family to keep up with all of the tasks I have to get done, and that is what bothers me the most. I get home at almost 9 p.m. every night, barely having enough time for myself. I often have to remind myself that I am human, and I don't want to fall under the term "workaholic."

I am only 19. You probably think I'm crazy for saying all of these things. I feel that regardless of how old you are, there will come a point where you will have trouble balancing. In the end of all this, I hope that my work will be valued and that I can set an example for others to follow. I will always live up to my responsibilities.

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.
