"Here's To Making It Count"

Time may be a part of us, but to live without out it is the best thing possible.

Time. We ask ourselves what is time? Time is different for many people. It may be the time on a clock, how much time till graduation or how much time they have left with their loved one. The one thing about time is sometimes there’s not enough. Society puts a time limit on people’s lives, to when they should go to college, get married, have kids and so on. As many people may know, time goes by very fast when you don’t want it to. The moments you want to hold onto and value the most is when time is taken away from you. In the blink of an eye, it is over.

As 2016 comes to a close we look back at all that has gone on this past year. Many historical events like a new president being elected to many personal experiences for people. It is crazy to think as the years go on, everyone gets older but the world goes on. Unfortunately, throughout the years we lose loved ones and also gain new ones along the way.

Time is a very hard concept to understand. We as humans never truly understand or can grasp the idea of time. We will never know what our future holds. All we can do is live every day to the most. Think of every day as it is our last. Time may be a part of us, but to live without out it is the best thing possible. Live on and enjoy the small memorable moments that people cherish. Many wish to go back in time to relive a certain moment. Living in every moment and cherish every second is what heck of a life.

Yes, we all have time limits on everything and have a plan that is set for us, but you never know when the time is up. In 2017 make a promise to yourself to live every day or even one day a week to the fullest. Don’t think of a timed schedule, or what everyone else thinks. Live like it is your last, and it will truly brighten up your life. Time is limited, what will you do with it?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
