I love plants, but I'm also the type of person who kills just about everything I touch. Over the past few years, I've found quite a few plants that even I haven't been able to kill (for the most part). Here are my five favorite indoor plants for those of us who don't have a green thumb but really wish we did.

1. Cactus

There are so many types of cacti you can grow indoors, and they require practically no care. I've managed to keep one cactus alive for almost five years even though I frequently forget to water it for a month at a time.

2. Jade

Jade is a type of succulent, so it requires very little attention. Mine tends to grow quickly, and you can take its leaves to replant them, giving you basically unlimited plants.

3. Bromeliads

Bromeliads are BEAUTIFUL and only need to be watered about once a week. That being said, I did manage to kill my bromeliad.

4. Aloe

Aloe is such a useful plant (especially if you're prone to sunburns like me), and it's super easy to take care of, only needing watering every few weeks.

5. Rabbit's Ear

Rabbit's ear has fuzzy leaves that give it a unique, fun look as well as protecting it from water loss, making it cute and hard to kill.

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.
