The semester has come to a close and if you are anything like me, it is easy to get so stressed and forget to take care of yourself. We get caught up in everything we are doing and trying to get everything done we often don't put ourselves first. But, you need to remember to do these certain things for you.

Slow Down

We have so many deadlines we are trying to meet that we are constantly in a rush. Don't let life pass you by, take the time to slow down and relax.

Have Some Alone Time

When everything is hectic taking time to yourself is always a good idea. It could be watching a movie, reading a book, taking a nap, or even just taking an extra long shower to just have time to be alone with yourself.

Remind Yourself to Do Better Next Time

We just took our finals and you might not have done your best. But, instead of dwelling on a bad grade just say to yourself "it's okay, do a little better next time."

Eat & Drink More

Having such busy schedules leads to not being able to fit the most important things in. FOOD AND WATER. Don't skip meals and always stay hydrated. This will give you the energy you need and keep your mood up.

Smile & Laugh

Speaking of keeping your mood up,smiling and laughing will automatically boost your mood. You have to be so serious and go into focus mood, but don't forget to give yourself a break, laughing is a great stress reliever!

Imagine yourself as a glass of water. Everyday you pour and you pour yourself out. But, in order to keep going you have to keep refilling your glass because you can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself!

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.
