Ah yes, the time of year that if you step outside your eyes might swell shut. Allergy season is here people! Here's what to do to get through this different time.

1. Remember, summer is Coming

Knowing that summer is right around the corner makes it almost worth not being able to breathe.

2. Try Not To Track It

The bees do enough of carrying it from place to place. So please don't put your cup on the roof of your car and then bring it inside, and beat off your shoes before coming into your house.

3. Invest in Good Medicine

Having allergies for me sometimes feels like the flu. Also, my face swells up a little. Invest in some good allergy medicine, and if all else fails there's always Benedryl.

4. Wash Your Car

I'm guilty of not doing this enough myself, but it helps and hopefully, it stays clean longer than 24 hours before your car has a yellow tint to it again.

5. Grab Some Tissues

You probably won't be able to stop sneezing and/or coughing. So, invest in a big box or two of tissues. Maybe splurge and get the lotion kind, your nose will thank you.

6. Stay Hydrated

It helps more than you realize.

7. Take a Nap or Two

8. Stay Inside

It's not worth it if you can't breathe.

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.
