I feel like there's a lot of people who look down on the Dollar store. I'm not quite sure why, but I am guessing that they think that it's all cheap stuff. And yes--some of it is.However, there are a lot of products for sale at the dollar store that many of us use everyday. With such a negative stigma around dollar stores, many people choose to go to target and pay 5 or 6x more for the exact same thing. Most of these items are included on the following list:

1. Plates and cups

Probably 80% of the cups in my house are from the Dollar Tree...and we get compliments on them all the time!

2. Gift Wrap/ bows/boxes

This is a great way to save $ during the holidays

3. Party supplies

If you're planning a party on a budget, the dollar store is definitely the place to go.

4. School supplies and stationary

The dollar store often sells the exact same pens/pencils as CVS or Staples but just at a reduced price.

5. Tupperware

You can find some really unique containers for school/work lunches at the Dollar store.

6. Cleaning Supplies

You would be surprised at how many brand-name cleaning supplies you can get for only a dollar!

7. Movie Theater Snacks

No more $6 sodas and $8 popcorn…..

8. Cooking Supplies

Okay, maybe you won't find high-quality pots and pans. BUT, if you're a college student looking to do some occasional cooking...that $150 pot from Williams Sonoma is probably not worth it!

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.
