If You're Stressed, Keep Going.

We all feel it too.

It is that time of the semester, at least for me, where everything get's very hectic and overwhelming. I am not usually one to let a lot of little things get to me or bring me down. That being said, the closer I get to graduating and being an actual adult, the more the little things start to slowly stress me out.

I still have good grades but they aren't as stellar as usual. I still have fun, but not as much as I wish I did. I don't work out as much as I should, and I wish I saw my family more. That's life babe. It gets crazy and chaotic, but there is something beautiful happening in every single person's case of stress and anxiety.

We are all growing and going through things to prepare us for the future. Things that seem so important and heavy right now will feel like nothing in a few weeks. Just remember that. Everything you are going through right now, you're growing through.

It can be very hard to see the rainbow after the rain sometimes, I get it. But think about past times you were stressed or down, you got through it, right? They go away, and it is so nice to barely even remember that feeling until it happens again, which it will. However, you are fully equipped to keep it moving and keep being you.

Take into account everything that you're going through, write down the steps to get out of it, take a nap, a rest day, something to help take your mind off of it when you feel like you have 900 million things to do. Remember that turn out is real, so take the time to relax and refresh before you're forced to.

This is a reminder to myself and all of you. You are loved, you are smart, and you are capable. Go out and cash everything you need to do.

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.
