1. When she stole our hearts as Princess Leia in Star Wars

Beautiful, witty, charming, and strong, Princess Leia continues to inspire us all.

2. And showed us that ex-boyfriends make you do crazy things in The Blues Brothers

3. She made us laugh as Marie in When Harry Met Sally

4. And shocked the world when she confirmed her romance with co-star, Harrison Ford

Fisher's most recent memoir, 'The Princess Diarist' included journal entries from over 40 years ago while on the set of the first Star Wars film. And the majority of it's content included details of her relationship with Ford.

Her honesty in the books and memoirs she has written, is another reason why we love her.

5. She entertained us with this 2015 interview from Good Morning America

6. And brought her dog Gary to The Force Awakens premiere

Her french bulldog has appeared on various interviews, events, and on set with Carrie. He even has his own Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The two are always together, and it's refreshing to see such a bond between them. A win for dog lovers everywhere!

7. She explained just how strong a person is for living with a mental illness

As someone that struggled with bipolar disorder and addiction (especially at the beginning of her career), Fisher was an advocate speaker on the topic and inspired many.

8. And got George Lucas to smile as she roasted him back in 2005

Thank you Carrie Fisher for making us laugh and inspiring us all.

You are a true princess and an even better queen.

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.
