'Don't Let Your Dreams Be Dreams'

Yesterday you said tomorrow.

'Don't Let Your Dreams Be Dreams'
Mash Up Corner

Being a dreamer in today's world is rather difficult sometimes. I say that I just dream of traveling everywhere and people say, "You know it takes money to do that." If I say that I want to write a book, people say, "You know that takes talent, right?" I'll earn money and I can always improve talent. I know that this takes time, and I'm willing to take it.

The video above has consistently inspired me and motivated me. Yes. I know. But just watch it and really listen to Shia LaBeouf yell at you. Before long, you'll be ready to tackle the world. For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed about big things: going to a great college, studying in Ireland, and getting a job right out of college. I've done all of these things (SCORE!) and now I have to be an adult. But can I ever stop dreaming of big things? Should I stop dreaming of big things? No is the answer to both. Never stop dreaming as though you're going to live forever. That's the most important thing.

Remember when you were a kid and you thought you could fly and there was no way to come down? Keep that frame of mind forever. However, remember to keep yourself grounded, humble, and ready for anything.

Dream until the cows come home. Keep your head up high and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Believe me, when you finally succeed, the people who put you down will be the first to bring you back up because now you have something to offer. Don't let them take what you made.


Just in case what I wrote didn't inspire you, go back and watch Shia again. He will set you straight.

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.
