Five Life Lessons From Andy Dwyer

If you haven't heard about Parks and Rec, where have you been? The first six seasons are on Netflix and you need to go watch them now. Like right now. One of the characters, Andy Dwyer, begins as someone that you will not be able to stand; but as the seasons progress you will fall in love with his goofiness and honesty. He is never afraid to be himself, unless he's Bert Macklin (of course), and that is someone who we all aspire to be like. He will teach you lessons about love, trust and friendship. His loyalty and kindness towards others is something that leaves a lasting impression, other than his lovable personality. So here are five things that Andy Dwyer has taught us over seven magical seasons.

1. It is okay not to know everything.

Life is about learning. You are going to stumble along the way and it is better to admit you don't know rather than pretend you're something you're not.

2. When you need to, just let it all out.

Everyone has those days, and I mean everyone. When you need to, let it out. People will be understanding and you might be surprised to see who is in the same boat as you. You never know.

3. If you act like you know what you're talking about, sometimes people will believe you.

This might contradict number 1 a bit, but sometimes it's okay to talk about things you know nothing about. Especially because it is even funnier when people are really taking in everything you say.

4. You learn something new everyday.

Life is full of ups and downs but the best way to look at them is as learning experiences. Also, learning is a privilege. Use that to your advantage. An education is something valuable that not everyone is fortunate enough to receive so take hold of that knowledge and learn from it and love it.

5. You can do anything you put your mind to.

You are unstoppable! People accomplish amazing things everyday so why can't you? You can do anything you set your mind to!

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.
