Here are some of my recommendations for your reading list this spring (or summer, fall, or winter).

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anything by Fitzgerald just screams spring, but this one is extra springy. It even begins with a vacation.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Romance is the name of the game here, and what more is spring than a season of love?

Flux by Orion Carloto

Poems always bring about the feeling of regeneration to me, and this beautiful collection is no exception.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Journeys, adventure, and coming of age? Yes please!

Selected Poems by Robert Frost

Again, poems and regeneration, and Robert Frost's relation to nature is like no other.

The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider

This one's a bit of a sad one, but it just feels like a teen movie right before summer begins. Prom anyone?

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

This is more or less a biography of Hadley Richardson, one of Ernest Hemingway's many wives. It details her life in Paris, which could not be more spring-esque.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Maybe it's just because I read this one for the first time in spring, but Harper Lee really hits hard this time of the year.

Poems by Emily Dickinson

Poems and Emily Dickinson. Need I say more?

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Between the forgotten garden and the mystery here, this one is kind of obvious as to why it's on here.

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge

For all my ladies out there this one discusses becoming more comfortable in your femininity, and spring feels so uniquely feminine to me.

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

Learning how to love yourself, your friends, and significant others is so important, especially in a season where everything is changing.

The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher L. Heuertz

This one's all about learning yourself, which is perfect for a spring cleanse period.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

Farm life, a freckled girl, and just overall feelings of sunshine give this one a spring seal of approval.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Jo March and her book writing is hugely self love based, and I think that's a big thing during springtime.

Whether it be spring or fall, these are all great books that you're guaranteed to enjoy.

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.
