3 Ideas To Begin Journaling


1. Everyday Activities

An important skill to learn when entering school or just trying to figure out how time management works is to record every daily activity. Every task, like brushing your teeth, eating, or even grocery shopping could be put in a time management journal. Include each activity and how much time (in minutes, hours, etc.) it takes you to perform this task. Are you spending hours on Facebook when you know there is a major exam you could be studying for? Do you spend too much time reading that one magazine when you could get ahead and prepare for work the next morning? These are just some examples of what you could jot down. In about a week you may figure out what you are spending too much or too little time on.

2. Feelings

I know, this is a little cliche and mushy, but it has been proven that writing and explaining your feelings is therapeutic. It doesn't have to be every day, but when a wave of emotion comes that maybe can't be controlled in a safe way, write your feelings down instead.

3. Favorite books/movies/tv shows

This can be really fun and even lead to you finding more cool shows, movies and books to read and watch. Posting these reviews can lead to connections between people who are interested in the same medium. Who knows-- you may find your new best internet friend through a book or show.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
