8 Struggles Of Long Distance Relationships
Natalie Melendez

A long distance relationship is one of the biggest tests on a relationship. It is incredibly mentally taxing, and requires a great deal of trust and inner strength. Here are some of the hardest moments:

1. The Moment That Something New Happens in Your Life, They Are The First Person You Want to Tell

They are a big part of your life and it hurts sometimes when you know you can turn to them and tell them right away.

2. When You Hear Your Phone Ring, or Receive a Text You Hope to See Their Name

Not often can you talk to this person but when you do get the chance its all you look forward to.

3. Saying Goodbye

the hardest part is saying goodbye again, after not seeing them for weeks or months before that.

4. Different Schedules

Communication becomes very difficult and time consuming when sometimes availability isn't always possible.

5. Seeing Other Couples Together

You begin to start feeling jealous when you see other couples happy together all the time, making you miss your significant other even more.

6. Arguing

Most of the time your arguments will revolve around communication due to the fact that you can't know everything that the other is doing since they are not with you everyday.

7. Having Different Needs

As time goes on while you and your partner are away from each other you start to learn more about yourself and may have new needs or wants from the relationship

8. Missing Each Other

You are bound to miss each other every hour of everyday, but in the end you know the pain is worth fighting for.

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.
