7 Reasons Why I Wish I Lived In The Era Of 'Full House'
today

We live in a generation where life moves so fast. Everything nowadays seems so much more complicated due to technology. It always heads down, scrolling and liking life’s moments without taking a moment to enjoy the simple things. It makes me wonder how different my life would look if I lived in the generation of I "Full House."

1. Scrunchies were all the rage and the multi-purpose tool of the 90s.

2. Dating was as simple as drive-in movies, wearing his letterman jacket to the games and opening the car door for her on your first date. They didn’t have to worry about things like Tinder, Woman Crush Wednesdays or decoding what phrases such as “Netflix and Chill” meant.

3. Good ol’ fashion Saturday morning’s involved sitting in front of the TV in your pajamas watching "Saved by the Bell" or "Boy Meets World", eating your Froot Loops until your parents got up.

4. Denim on denim was so totally in. You didn’t have to choose between wearing your favorite pair of jeans or your jean jacket on a Saturday night, you could wear them and blend right in.

5. Your favorite band was *NYSNC. Justin Timberlake still had his short, spiked, bleached hair and we didn’t know he could bring "Sexy Back" until 2006.

6. Spotify Premium, iTunes and Apple TV weren’t invented yet, instead you had your Sony Walkman, CDs and Blockbuster Stores. You had to physically go to the store to buy your music and movies rather than downloading them.

7. And lastly, the only form of getting in touch with your friends outside of school was either through the phone or your bike. Kids didn’t have to worry about Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or even Snapchat. Life was simple and happened face to face.

I hope these seven little things made you laugh but more importantly made you realize that life can be simple if we allow it. Take a moment and step back and realize how sweet and simple life can be.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
