5 Easter Things that are Different From When We were Kids

1.Egg Hunts

After those teen years, your mom probably gives up hiding eggs in obvious places. Now you’re probably stuck hiding eggs for your little cousins, wishing they were for you. Who doesn’t want to search the yard for candy and a few quarters.

2. Baskets

Easter baskets when we were kids were the BOMB, filled with all types of goodies, usually featuring toys and chocolates. Now, your mom probably fills them with practical things like gift cards for gas and coffee. You might even be more excited about those than the goodies

3. Food

When you were a child you probably didn’t eat too much other than the candy. Now you load up on everything and by the time dessert even rolls around you’re probably fast asleep on the couch.

4. Outfits

You no longer get your outfit picked out for you, so instead you stress out over what’s “appropriate” for family functions. This leads to your mom vetoing at least three outfits.

5. Family Time

Seeing distant family means one thing; never ending questions you don’t want to answer. How’s school? Do you have a job yet? What about a boyfriend? Have you been going to the gym? What’s your life plan? Yeah, keep those mimosas coming.

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.
