6 Reasons To Love Serena Williams
NYTimes

With Serena Williams' being ranked No. 1 in the world for women's singles tennis six different times, countless titles, and winning Wimbledon this year for women's singles, it's no question that her tennis skill is amazing. Other than just being great at tennis, she's really just killing it at life in general.

1. She loves Taylor Swift.


And she danced with her on stage during her show in Hyde Park for the 1989 tour. Now I just wish she had her own character in "Bad Blood."

2. Her relationship with her sister is what everyone's sibling goals should be.

Her and her sister, Venus, have played against each other for No. 1 on the world women's singles, which sounds like the worst sibling rivalry ever. They play doubles matches together and have been ranked No. 1 in the world for women's doubles together. Who else can spend that much time with their sibling without going crazy? Serena also started following a vegan diet to support Venus, who struggles with Sjogren's Syndrome.

3. She has her own fashion line.

It's called Aneres, which is her name spelled backwards. It isn't surprising that she's interested in fashion, considering she has some of the best outfits in tennis. She can even pull off a denim skirt.

4. She really loves dogs.

Dogs make everything better. She has a Yorkie named Chip, and he's the cutest. She's called him her son and said that they watch movies together. Bless.

5. J.K. Rowling loves her.

During the women's singles final for Wimbledon, J.K Rowling's Twitter account was all about her support for Serena. If J.K loves her, why would anyone else not love her?

6. She's really involved with charities.

Yeah, it's cool that she likes dogs and Taylor Swift, because don't we all? But she really does help to make a difference. She helped fund the Serena Williams Secondary School in Kenya. She won the Young Heroes award from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater L.A. and Inland and the Family Circle and Prudential Financial Player Who Makes a Difference award. She's also been involved in a charity event for the 2010 Haiti earthquake and charities for at-risk youth.

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.
