Life can sometimes get to be a little too much. Everyone has moments where they feel stressed, anxious, agitated, the list goes on. It can be really hard to find small moments that allow you to breathe.

Let me introduce you to night driving. Some of you may be wondering how exactly something so tedious and at times frustrating can calm you down.

Trust me, they do the trick. Just allow me to paint the picture for you.

There is nothing quite like rolling down the windows on a nice night and feeling the cool wind against your face. Watching the bright lights zip by you and seeing their magical glow on the dark street.

Your favorite tunes blast through the speakers as you sing aloud and dance. Who cares what the people in the car next to you think, you'll never see them again. There is something so nice in being able to catch those moments in life that allow you to just be you.

When attending college it can be really hard to find times that allow you to decompress. Sometimes the prospect of homework, attendance grades, and exams can feel like a constant weight on one's shoulder.

The best and only way to survive and get through college is finding ways to live a little.

So maybe you're not into driving or you don't have a car. Maybe you like partying or watching movies or playing video games. Whatever it is that you like to do to de-stress, keep doing it.

For me, my favorite way will always be night drives. I'm forever thankful for the moments in life that allow me to live a little. Nothing beats grabbing a friend (or going alone), hopping into a car, putting on a killer playlist and just letting loose, even if it's only for a moment.

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.
