50. Go to class probably?

51. Do laundry.

52. Paint a picture.

53. Get on Pinterest.

54. Watch basketball (Go Rockets!).

55. Watch this Vine until it sinks in.



56. Drive to a near by city with a friend and adventure.

57. Explore a wooded area with a buddy because they may be murders lurking ... I don't know, safety first though!

58. Ding-dong-ditch, it's still a thing!

59. Call your parents, they most likely miss you!

60. Bake lots of tasty treats.

61. Buy things off the internet.

62. Become a photographer, everyone is doing it!

63. Learn all of DJ Khaled's key to success quotes.

64. Also listen to one of his songs, they may be good-ish.

...eh

65. Read the "Bible" and pay close attention to all of it. Chances are most of the answers you're looking for are in there. Specifically how much love you deserve no matter what your sins are, we are all undeserving of His glory but He gives it to us anyways. Have faith, this trial He's putting you through is to make you stronger, not to break you down.

66. Surround yourself with people (or animals) who love you.

67. Take yourself out to dinner.

73. Be the person you want to be.

74. Simply get out of your bed.

75. Remember the things that are currently so absolutely amazing in your life, those are the things that matter and let them overwhelm you with happiness.

Personally, I highly recommend watching Adam Sandler movies because watching his most recent garbage movie, "Pixels," is better than wallowing over someone that doesn't want/deserve you.

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.
