Everyone should think about writing a bucket list. Most people already have one or are in the process of making one. A lot of people I am sure are already checking boxes off of their lists'. I started a list when I was in middle school. I did not finish making my list, considering I only put two things on my list. On my list, I said I wanted to: run a marathon (check, two marathons actually, and skydive (not yet, but I am planning on it in the near future). Here recently, I have decided I want to actually sit down, and really create a realistic bucket list. I have searched online to see what is out there for me to try, and let me tell you the possibilities are endless. I look at making a bucket list as I way to write down fun and creative ideas to strive for. Some ideas may range from buying and owning your own house to tight rope walking across Niagara Falls. A bucket list can be all about adventure or it can be about becoming successful in your adulthood. This is your list to create. As you go and read my own list with my items I want to try, please make your own list or if you already have one add to it. Look at writing your own bucket list as a way for you to strive for greatness in life.

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.
