1. One week is plenty of time to pack up all of my belongings! Can't be that hard.

2.Wait ... where do I start?

3. Crap. I have a lot of stuff.

4. Maybe I should google it?

5. Nah I got this.

6. Okay, so what do I need?

7. I'm definitely googling that.

8. Apparently I need to go buy exactly 37 things.

9. HELP.

10. Let's start with something easy. Books.

11. Who knew I had 376 books??

12. I gotta pick 10.

13. Nah, 15.

14. Let's just make it an even 20.

15. I'm gonna need some boxes for the rest of these bad boys.

16. Maybe four?

17. And two more for clothes going into storage?

18. Ah.

19. Oh no.

20. I am definitely going to need more than six boxes.

21. And more than a week.

22. I am not ready.

23. Never mind. I got this.

24. Okay, on to clothes.

25. How many do I need?

26. How long can I go without repeating outfits?

27. Is two weeks enough?

28. It had better be enough.

29. How many dresses should I bring?

30. Is five too many?

31. I'm bringing six, just in case.

32. What about shoes?

33. Damn. I wish I was a boy. They only need like four pairs, maybe five.

34. Wow I have a lot of clothes ...

35. Why do I always say that I have nothing to wear?

36. Will I ever wear this again?

37. If I put this in storage, does that mean I'm never wearing it again? Or that I won't wear it for another four years?

38. Oh well, keep it just in case.

39. I do not have half of the stuff that I need.

40. Why do I need a mattress cover, a foam sheet and a mattress pad?

41. I wonder how long its going to take me to make my bed...

42. I ONLY HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT.

43. I hope my mom is right about me not needing this ...

44. Do I have to bring a shower curtain? Or will my roommate bring one?

45. I should call and ask her.

46. Nah!

47. Wow I haven't used this sewing machine in years!

48. Still keeping it.

49. I have way too much jewelry.

50. Still keeping it.

51. Maybe I don't need all of the scarves and hats people have given me over the years?

52. I'll donate those.

53. Not that *anyone* will need them for our legendary Florida winters ...

54. Ha look at all of the candles I've kept and have never burned.

55. I guess I have to burn them all sometime in the next three days!

56. Is seven too many to burn at once?

57. Wow my room smells amazing!

58. Hey look at all of this makeup that I basically never use!

59. I'm gonna bring it with me. You never know, right?

60. ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE???

61. I still need to buy 29 things because the lists on the Internet told me to.

62. How many towels does one person need?

63. Is three okay?

64. I'm bringing three.

65. Goodwill is going to love me when I drop all of this stuff off.

66. Wait, no, nevermind. I might need that.

67. My To Do list still has 17 things on it and I leave tomorrow.

68. Thank God for Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

69. I think I've used 23 "20 percent off" coupons now

70. I don't want to go ...

71. But I'm so excited to get there!

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.

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.
