Nothing is worse than the beginning of the year limbo. It’s not really summer anymore and it’s not really fall yet either. School just started and everyone is still getting back into their routine. There are no long weekends or holidays to look forward to -- except Halloween, but that’s still ages away. The weeks start to drag on and it begins to look very bleak. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not all bad, there are plenty of things to look forward to this week.

  1. The First Day Of Fall

All I can say is finally! It feels like we’ve been waiting for Fall to officially start for months now. On thursday it will finally be acceptable to look forward to Halloween, go apple picking, and eat all of the pumpkin flavored things your heart desires. It also means we can start wearing fall colors, orange, brown, red, basically anything that you would see fall off of a tree this time of year (disclaimer: I am not a fashion expert -- I don’t really know if these are fall colors or if it is acceptable to wear them yet. Please consult any fashion magazine for real advice).

2) All The Cups Of Coffee You’ll Drink This Week

I’m sorry to all the people who don’t drink coffee, but like seriously, is that a thing? I think you should try it again, it’s really incredible. I hate that I have become such a stereotype, but I love my coffee in the morning, and in the afternoon, and sometimes the evening. Everything about it is amazing: the smell, the look, the taste. I would instagram it every morning if that was socially acceptable. My coffee makes my morning, and so therefore my week. What I wouldn’t give for a cup right now.

3) TV Is Back

Wahoo! Everyone should throw their hands in the air and do a dance because the shows are back this week. We can finally say goodbye to the terrible summer television we have been suffering through and say hello again to actually good TV. Maybe we’ll find out How exactly To Get Away With Murder, if Mindy and Danny will get back together, or if Jane will stay a virgin forever, and so much more. There is honestly nothing better than the start of a new TV season because it’s all so exciting and fresh and hasn’t had the chance to disappoint you yet. When TV is back, life is good.

4) My Dad’s Birthday

Ok everyone, Thursday is my dad, Macy Kisilinsky’s, birthday. He loves birthday messages so make sure to make a reminder and write him something nice on his wall on Thursday. I’m sure he’s looking forward to it. You’re turning 30 right? Have a happy birthday, Daddy, love you!

5) The Weekend

Ok, I know what you’re going to tell me, it’s not healthy to start looking forward to the weekend on Monday. But first of all, don’t tell me what’s healthy and what’s not, I’ll get through the week however I need to get through the week. And second of all, it’s totally fine, it builds excitement and teaches patience. The weekend was one of the greatest things ever invented, so it’s only natural to look forward to it. You can jam in as much fun stuff as possible or totally chill and veg out on the couch. The weekend is the perfect way to revamp for the next week and come up with another five things to look forward to.

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.
