I'm a huge fan of old movies, here's a list of my favorite!

1. Miracle on 34th Street

When a nice old man claims to be Santa Claus and is institutionalized as insane, a lawyer decides to defend him and prove that he is, in fact, the real Santa Claus. Now if this doesn't make you wanna watch a movie, I don't know what will.

2. It's a Wonderful Life 

An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperate, unhappy businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.

3. Holiday Inn

At an inn that is only open for the holidays, two friends become competitive in their similar love interest. This movie includes tons of song and dance and is great for all audiences.

4. White Christmas 

A successful song-and-dance team becomes romantically involved with a sister act and team up to save the failing Vermont inn of their former commanding general. This movie is said to be a loose remake of Holiday Inn and features the same song from the first movie: "White Christmas."

5. A Christmas Story

Ralphie, a young boy, tries to convince his parents to get him a Red Ryder BB gunfire Christmas. The movie includes tons of humor and is definitely one of my favorites from this list! For anyone wanting to watch this, TBS airs a 24-hour marathon each year starting Christmas Eve.

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas 

Now this one is probably a little more popular than the others. The plot includes a fed up, cranky, grinch who comes up with a plan to steal Christmas away from Whoville. The Who's however, learn how to make the holiday great even after all their gifts are stolen.

7. Home Alone

Kevin, an adorable 8 year-old-boy, has to protect his house from burglars after he is left home alone while his family is on their Christmas vacation. Kevin learns how important family is to him and also how to kick some burglar butt!

8. The Santa Clause 

The final (and most recent) movie on the list is The Santa Clause! This one includes a random man who accidentally kills Santa Clause and soon finds that he is turning into Santa himself. They also came out with 2 more movies after this one and they are all amazing.

Christmas is the best time of the year and if you have any spare time this Christmas season, you should give these movies a try! There's nothing like spending the day watching old movies.

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.
