There are so many reasons to celebrate the Fourth of July. It seems to be a holiday that everyone takes part in. You can see the youngsters gorging themselves with watermelon. The teens are busy wading in the water or hanging out with each other. The adults finally get the opportunity to put their feet up for a bit and have a drink or two. The grandparents are lazily enjoying their afternoon while doting over their grandchildren. It seems like on the Fourth of July, everything is right in the world. The sun shines a bit brighter, the birds chirp a bit louder and the smiles that appear are more genuine. The Fourth of July is for everyone and here are a few reasons why we love it so much!

1. College friends collide with high school friends.

What could be better than all your friends in one place? A whole new scene, partying with the old and the new has never been better.

2. Somewhere on a beach.

Or a boat, you are most likely catching up on Vitamin D under the sun in your favorite beach town.

3. Red, white and blue bathing suits.

Who doesn't love a festive bikini? Or forcing your boyfriend to wear the new Fourth of July trunks you picked out for him!

4. Hot dogs, hamburgers galore!

Your annual or daily meat intake always tastes better on the Fourth of July.

5. Amazing fireworks.

Finally time to make your move on that special someone. A midnight kiss under the illuminated sky? You are so in!

6. Drinks. A lot of them.

Whether you're drinking out of a watermelon filled with fruity vodka or throwing back one too many Coronas, you should never be thirsty during a worthy celebration!

7. A weekend to remember.

The Fourth of July is one of the best weekends of summer, maybe even the whole year. We always look forward to it, make your Fourth of July weekend one for the books!

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.
