Hey, America is great. The best country in the world. America, I'mma let you finish but let's just look at the British Royal Family.

They are always in the news, somehow, someway. Whether it's a legacy of Princess Diana, Will and Kate pregnant again, or the new engagement between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Let's take a look back at history to see all the times where we've been swept off our feet by the Royal Family.

1. Princess Diana and Prince Charles's wedding in the '80s.

Even though this marriage ended in divorce, and the Royals basically shunning Lady D, their wedding was one for the books and for sure a party. D's dress was the best dress of that year!

2. Diana with her two sons Prince Will and Harry.

Going off number one, Diana loved her children and gave them everything. She taught them to be humble in the spotlight. Her legacy still lives on within her two sons and I think that's the most beautiful thing ever.

3. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip

If you haven't watched "The Crown" on Netflix, stop what you're doing and go do it. If you're obsessed with the Royal Fam like me, then you need to watch it. I absolutely fell in love with the Queen and Phillip's love story. They are absolutely adorable and to think they are still together today... it's just magical.

4. Prince William and family

Their family is like the cover of a Hallmark card. George and Charlotte (and third baby that has no pictures yet) are the definitions of a perfect family. Will and Kate, two soulmates who are meant for each other, truly created a picture-perfect family.

5. Will and Kate

College sweethearts and now proud parents of three (maybe four) children. They've truly grown in their years together and their years apart. If you haven't read the book written by People reporters about their lives together and apart, I highly recommend you do!

6. Harry.

Before I get to his engagement, I have to devote one to just the "ginger prince" himself. He's my fav ginger prince around. He's humble, just like what his mother raised him to be. He's a soldier first. He cares about the world around him by working through his mother's charities in Africa and just loves spending time with his family and friends.

7. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

A living, breathing story of Princess Diaries. I couldn't think of a better match made in heaven (other than Queen and Phillip, of course). An American being swept off her feet by the dreamy Prince Harry...it's a love story brought to life. While a quick wedding in this spring is stressful, we surely can't wait.

I'm almost expecting an invite to the wedding, because, you know, Meghan IS a Kappa...

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.
