Everyone Goes Through Tough Times, But It Gets Better, I Promise

Sometimes you just have to get through the bad times-- and cookies help!

My winter break was pretty eventful. For one, I worked all break. My boyfriend came up for Christmas. I spent some amazing days with him. He was the one part of my break that made me genuinely happy. I was also glad to see my family because I really missed my nieces.

However, I did go through a tough time. It tends to be difficult around the holidays, maybe it is just the season. I basically cut off all my internet usage. I lost contact with everyone (except my boyfriend) for a while. As I said, all I did was work and go home.

Going back to school yesterday, I noticed a lot of my friends went through the same thing. The holidays seem to be hard on everyone these days. Everyone has something going on, whether it is school, family, friends or spouses. Sometimes, you just have to make it through each day and believe it is going to get better.

I have not submitted an article in weeks. I have had zero creativity and I have just felt mentally and emotionally exhausted. Sometimes I don't even know what to do about it. I am just hoping that it will get better with time. I hope 2019 is my year and everyone else's year.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great new year!

(And if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope your holiday/break, in general, was great!)

Also, my favorite thing about going back to Atlanta was Insomnia Cookies! Open till 3 A.M.

It is truly delicious!

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.
