If You're Ever Feeling Doubtful, Just Remember The End Goal

Being in one of the hardest majors at my school, I can't even count the amount of times I've thought about changing my majors or have doubted what I'm doing with my life. Every time I think this, though, I just think about what I'm working towards. My dream job is to work at Estée Lauder and work with makeup.

Every time I cry about an exam or I'm in a hard class not understanding something, I just have to remind myself that this will all be worth it in the end. All this hard work is going to give me so many opportunities to do what I love.

It's so important to remember what you're working towards. Nothing in life is easy, but everything you do has some sort of end goal or finish line. You just have to push through and make it there. If it's something you're really passionate about, never give up, no matter how hard or impossible it might feel.

You need to empower yourself and always remember that you can do this, no matter what challenges you may face! Knowing you can do it will be so helpful to keep you going.

There might be some people out there who doubt you, like friends, family, other people in your major, but self-doubt is even more hurtful. Always have faith in yourself, even if other people don't have that same faith in you.

You got this.

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.
