Dear Winter, You Don't Look Anything Like You Do On Instagram

P.S. Summer is hotter than you.

You know. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

The slump. The post-winter, pre-spring slump. The weird weather and bilingual closets.

Especially if you live in the South, this 5th season is probably your least favorite. You will walk outside and have no idea what the day can turn into. Alas, there are solutions to Mother Nature's curse.

1. Treat every day like a surprise. Yes, one day could be cold and the next could be warm, BUT if you think about it, as soon as a cold day hits, you are almost guaranteed to wear shorts the next day.

2. Use more of your closet. You know those old Rainbows you always forget you have, or that light jacket you can never wear, well this is their time. They're not the old toys in the toy box anymore. Love them like they're your favorite.

3. Realize what is in the past. You did it! You somehow got through (most of) winter and spring and summer are to follow. If anything, you can't go back so you might as well lavish in the fact that pretty outsides are coming soon.

4. Know you're not the only one. You are not alone in this. So many other people are going through this with you, it's not as scary as you think. People all around you wake up in fear of the ever-changing weather and it's okay. You have each other.

5. Do something about it. Are you bored of your town? Do you hate what it feels like outside? If you answered yes to either of these questions then you should leave. Leave and never look back. I'm sure you might have a friend that lives somewhere or know of a cheap motel and if you do, that would be doing something about it.

Hopefully, this advice will help you get out of bed in the morning or be at peace with falling asleep at night. To being less slumpy...

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.
