6 Things You Should Do Every Day

It is so easy to have a good day when you begin your day in a good mood. But you have to keep your good mood throughout the day and sometimes that can get hard. So here are a couple of things you should do throughout your day to make sure you always have a good one.

1. Make a "To-Do List"

This is not for everybody but it is so handy to have a list of things to do each day. It's a good way to make sure that you're getting everything done for the day and not forgetting anything. Also, blocking out time for the tasks you need to complete allows you to see how much time you have for things you want to do.

2. Call Someone

Whether it's your mom, dad, sibling, aunt, uncle, grandparent, friend, etc., call at least one person and find out how they are. Talk about your day, their day, funny stories, the future, etc. When you're away at college, you don't have the opportunity to talk to all of your friends and family every day, and a conversation each day can really brighten your mood.

3. Exercise

Finding little ways to include some exercise in your daily routine can help you feel great throughout the day. Whether you are setting time aside to go to the gym or whether you choose to walk to class/work instead of taking the bus, any exercise helps.

4. Be Kind To Others

Helping out others and improving their day, can help you feel good as well. Hold a door for someone, compliment someone's outfit, bring coffee to your coworkers. Random acts of kindness and helping out others can improve their day, as well as yours.

5. Keep Up Your Health

Physical and mental health is so important to upkeep. Making sure that you take care of your body and mind each day. Get enough sleep, drink lots of water, and take your vitamins.

6. Go Off The Grid

Take time out of your day to put the technology away and interact with the world around you. Go for a walk and don't look at your phone, spend time reading a book or cleaning your room. Time apart from social media and technology can make you feel more connected to the world around you.

It's so important to treat yourself well in order to have a great day everyday. Follow these daily tasks to improve your mood and health.

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.
