7 Important Pieces Of Life Advice From My Mom
Julia Niklewicz

Moms are the greatest gift you have in life. They shape you into the person that you have become and they will always be there for you. They also give the best advice when its needed and are always there for you.

1. Never go to bed mad.

We've all done it and woken up feeling so much worse. No matter what hard thing you're going through or who's giving you a hard time, you should never go to bed mad. Even if you can't resolve your issue with a specific person, find joy in something or someone else. Call up your best friend, talk to your mom, watch your favorite tv show.

2. Get rid of toxic people. Surround yourself with people who treat you right.

Sometimes it's hard to know who has the right intentions, but it's clear that if someone wrongs you more than once you need to move on. It may be scary to get rid of friends but sometimes it's what needs to be done.

3. Always be kind, you never know what someone else is going through.

Kindness is key, even a smile to a stranger can change that person's day. You never know everything that someone is going through, so make sure that you treat everyone with respect. Also, little acts of kindness can go a far way.

4. There's nothing like a great sister.

Your siblings are your best friends that you're stuck with, but they can relate to you in a way that no one else can. Never take your siblings for granted because they love you more than you know.

5. You can do anything you set your heart and your mind to.

Never get discouraged, life can be hard sometimes. The best part is that if you really want something, you can achieve it if you keep trying. But also remember to not waste your time on something you really don't care about.

6. Friendship should be easy.

When you find the right people it should be easy. Yes, everyone goes through rough patches with their friends, but you shouldn't have to work so hard to be great friends with someone. Also, always remember friendship is a two way street.

7. When all else fails, just know your mom will always be there for you.

No matter what life hands you, your mom will always be there waiting with open arms, and if you're away at school, a phone call or FaceTime call can do the trick too.

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.
