5 Things We Need To Do And Remember When Life Gets Rough
Kaitlyn Craig

In tough times some people shut down, some people get depressed, and some people don't know how to handle themselves or the situation. I think that everyone needs to do these things and remember these things to make a tough times seem a little easier to deal with.

1. Turn To Him

Only God truly knows what you are going through. Only He can really help you get through the tough times. Yes, family and friends can help get you through but God can help push you through and show you the good outcomes.

2. Be Grateful For The Little Things

Sometimes we don't realize how blessed we are until the things that surround us, whether it be loved ones, possessions, living arrangements etc., are gone. We need to be grateful for the little things in life. Count your blessings everyday.

3. Lean On Others

It is good to lean on god and trust Him but you also need to trust in others around you and lean on them. If you are truly struggling ask someone for help. It doesn't matter if it is the smallest thing or the biggest thing. If the people around you are loved one and friends then they will be willing to do anything to help out. If they aren't willing then are they really your friends?

4. Try And Find The Good In Everyday

Instead of looking at the bad stuff in situations try and look at the good for a change. By looking at the good it could help you get through the tough times. You never know.

5. There Is Always Light At The End Of The Tunnel

It doesn't matter what kind of situation you are going through, there will always be a light the end of your tunnel. Push through and stay strong till the very end, there is always something good in the end whether you realize it now or not.

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.
