You never know when your last day will be, your last memory, your last shower, your last conversation. Live life to its fullest. Document your life. Look back on your favorite moments when you feel like you can't go any longer.

It will help tremendously.

I find myself looking at old photos and videos quite often. At one point, I asked myself, "Am I dwelling on the past? Am I moving forward while going backward at the same time?"

No, I am not doing either of those. I am simply reminiscing.

People may say to live in the moment and put your phone down, but they are wrong. Pick your phone up. Take photos of every inch of your current presence. Jot down a few notes of that memory. What did it smell like? What did you hear at that moment?

You will be surprised at how useful these notes and photos will be later in life. Show your future husband and your kids all the crazy times you had when you were young. It's a shame our parents didn't have that type of technology when they were kids.

Looking at old memories encourages me to create more. It reminds me that you never know when your last day will be. Fill your 24-hour days with meaningful fun. Do it so you can look back on it and smile.

The end of the semester is here. Rewind to summer 2018 for a few minutes. Think about all the good and bad times you had. What would you do differently? What would you do again? Make summer 2019 your best one yet.

Family memories are the ones that will stick with you forever. Look through your baby photo album once in a while with your family. They will tell you stories about yourself that you didn't even know. Search for photos of your ancestors and extended family.

When you feel like you can't make it anymore, look through your photos. There will be photos of your friends, yourself, your family, your pets, anything, and everything. Reflect on the good and the bad.

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.
