3 Months From Now You Will Thank Yourself

As your summer is coming to an end, school is about to begin. If you are anything like me, then you are getting excited for what this school year might bring. Saying good-bye to the long beach days, endless tanning, and hanging around by the pool can be difficult. The start of a new school year can make you eager,nervous,excited or even unmotivated. The idea of another school year, living in the library on more caffeine then you ever thought possible may not sound appealing to you. Here a few motivational quotes to get you in a positive mindset before heading off to school.

1. Instead of looking at the hundred reasons to quit, look at the thousand reasons not to give up.

2. Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The will pass anyway.

3. The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

4. Do something today that your future self-will thank you for.

5. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.

6. Push yourself because, no one else is going to do it for you.

7. The expert in anything was once a beginner.

8. No matter how you feel...Get up. Dress up. Show up. and Never give up.

9. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore is not an act, but a habit.

10. I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

Starting of the year with the right mindset can help make this school year the best one yet. If you go in thinking you are going to rock this year, I have faith you will do nothing less.

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.
