Don't forget to smile!

25 Reasons Life is Beautiful
Lauren Ellicker

Life isn't always smiling selfies on Instagram or Friday nights hanging out with friends. Sometimes it's crying in your room alone or finding yourself wishing that this life wasn't yours. Whatever it may be, life has a funny way of throwing us major curve balls that may land us 10 steps backwards and 2 steps forwards. Despite the constant struggle of the constant ups and downs in life, there are so many things that remind me why life is worth living, and these are just a few.

1. The Sunrise in the morning

Especially over the mountains or at the beach.

2. The sound of rain


3. Adventures with your favorite people

Spontaneous adventures are always the best and remind you that life is an adventure you never know what will happen next but it's important to enjoy the ride.


4. Blasting music in the car with the windows down

5. The feeling of the warm breeze on your face while standing at the ocean


6. When you turn off your alarm for the weekend

We all know the sigh of relief when you know you don't have to wake up for that 8 AM the next morning.


7. A good cup of Coffee

8. Curling up with a good book

9. Jumping in piles of leaves

10. Vacations

If you don't like a great vacation you need to see a doctor


11. Puppies

Their cuteness makes up for the teething and puppy breath that accompanies them.


12. Best Friends

They're there to share your highest and lowest points in life with you. You'll never walk alone because you'll always have a hand to hold.


13. Inside Jokes with your friends

We all know these jokes where you and your friends give each other "the look' and try not to burst out in laughter in the middle of class.


14. Hedgehogs

Come on now they float in water and you can put hats on them!


15. Hot Showers

16. Hugs

squeeze hugs, crying hugs, happy hugs, sometimes you just need a hug.


17. Babies Laughing

Come on you know you can't help but laugh when you hear a baby laugh.


18. Taking Pictures

Whether it's a silly selfie with your best friend or a beautiful view you witnessed, a picture is worth a thousand words.


19. Bubbles

20. Dancing

In your underwear, with your friends, it doesn't matter because dancing is just fabulous.


21. Singing

We've all felt like a rockstar when we can sing all the lyrics to our favorite song into a hairbrush


22. Feeling loved

We all need a little love


23. Fresh air

There's nothing like breathing the wild air


24. The Smell of good food

25. The fact that you've made it this far. Keep going. You are stronger than you think and braver than you've ever imagined.

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.
