The Free Ticket To A Care-Free Lifestyle

The Free Ticket To A Care-Free Lifestyle

Life moves pretty fast sometimes. No, all the time, actually. It becomes stressful, especially while in college. While juggling school work, friends and your social life, it is hard not to become stressed.


1. Stop asking yourself "What if?"

Everybody has had an event in his or her life that has caused one to ask the question “what if?” It is stressful knowing your life could have been a lot different if you were to choose another option. You can’t go back in time though. As cheesy as it is, everything in life happens for a reason. Even if the outcome isn’t positive, it is only up-hill from here.


2. Quit stressing over the little things.

Stressing out over something, even if it is small, isn’t healthy for you. It is good to let go of all the stress, and live with a more care-free attitude. There is always a good mixture of people who are too carefree, and those who don’t even know how to live in the moment. Being spontaneous will always keep you on your feet, whether you take a random road trip, or go midnight swimming with some of your friends.


3. Leave negative people in your past.

Being surrounded by negative people can bring you down too. At times, you won’t even realize how much their attitude affects yours. Negative people are toxic. People will walk all over you without thinking twice about it. Always try to surround yourself with positive vibes.


4. Treat yourself every now and then.

Every now and then, we get so caught up in work that we don’t have enough time for ourselves. Once every other week, you should have a day that is totally devoted to pampering yourself. Get your nails done, go to the spa, or go shopping. Being away from the stressors of life for just a couple hours is good for you.


5. Take a break from social media.

Last week, I decided to delete my Twitter and it was the best decision I have ever made. There is a lot of negativity that comes along with social media. Logging out of your accounts and tuning more into your life will make for positivity.

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.
