6 Things You Need to KNow

1. Lemaitre. Not many people know of this Norwegian Duo, but give them a listen on Spotify. Not too well-known, yet, but that's how nearly everyone starts off. The music produced is often described as Indie-Electronic.

2. Vanilla almond milk. Convincing you to completely change your diet isn't what I'm trying to do. I promise it doesn't hurt to give almond milk a try. Let me be slightly more specific on this one; it doesn't hurt to give vanilla almond milk a try. It used to be the biggest challenge getting me to drink regular almond milk, then one day, vanilla almond milk was introduced into my life, and it has never been the same. It's an amazing alternative for milk.

3. Spotify Premium. I didn't get into Spotify Premium until this past summer. There was an offer of the first three months for about a dollar, plus, one of my closest friends really enjoyed it, and he convinced me to try it out. I heard playlists of all sorts could be made, songs can be saved onto your phone without using data, and you can find a variety of new music with premium. It wasn't until I tried the three-month trial that I realized this app would be one I'd never delete off of my phone for more storage. It's the last app I'd delete off of my phone, temporarily or permanently. Try it out! You might fall in love with it just as much as I have.

4. Planners. They honestly do help. I've learned how to better manage my time, and that's a characteristic you don't want to learn later on in life. It's better to know now how to manage your time. There are the alternatives such as: hand-written notes, calendar apps, and maybe you're lucky because you don't forget much so you've already got managing your time down.

5. Be nice to cops. I didn't think I had to mention this one, but I do. How about try being nice to everyone? Anyone who has authority over you can do what they want, and I'm not saying you'll go home without a ticket, but no one is going to challenge that being rude will get you any closer to not getting in trouble.

6. It's okay to be yourself. Laughing at myself when everyone thinks it's odd, being funny at times that aren't exactly appropriate, crying because the smallest things bring me joy, and having the ability to forgive anyone who's done me wrong are all things not everyone is going to understand. Being your own anomaly is all right.

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.
