5 Things That Happen When You Stop Caring What Others Think
Birmingham Times

Caring about other people's opinions can be detrimental to your happiness. You let it consume you, changing who you are to fit into society's mold. When you let go of the idea that you need to be who someone else wants you to be, you will remove a lot of stress from your life.

1. You Add More Hours To Your Day.

When you aren't trying to primp so much every morning to look good, you will realize how much more time you have for important things, like more sleep.

2. You Start Wearing What You Want.

So you love crocs? Sweet, wear them. Want to bust out the red lipstick? Go for it.

3. You Start Doing What You Want.

If you want to sit in your room and watch Netflix all day, it's cool. If you want to play Assassin with your hall, like many students at Graceland are doing right now, that's cool too. Whip out your foam sword and go get them.

4. You Speak Your Mind.

Many people are too afraid to speak up in class, even when they feel they have a good point. When you don't care if others judge you, you'll start to say what you want.

5. You'll Be So Much Happier.

Living your life free from societal pressure is an amazing feeling. You start to inch out of your shell and show the world who you really are. Everyone will love you for your true self and you will love your newfound confidence.

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.
