Recently I have been trying to improve my lifestyle and way of living. Yes, I am trying to cut sweets out, but do you realize how hard that is? You can’t turn down every piece of chocolate you’re offered. Anyway, since I am not doing too swell with cutting out sugar for a healthier lifestyle, I am trying a few other paths.

One of them includes earlier to bed and earlier to rise. Recently I have started my day with either “Rise and Shine” yoga at the rec or an early workout before morning classes. Something to wake me up and start my day in a positive way.

Along with doing more “rise and shine”, I am trying to fuel my body right from the get-go and eat something like peanut butter toast or oatmeal with fruit. In a small way, it truly does change how I function that day.

These couple things sound like the same basic blogger or “insta-famous” post but they really do back up the saying of “the early bird gets the worm.”

I grew up in a family that loves rising when the sun does and just watching the sky change colors as the time rolls by. A warm cup of coffee and the reminder that we are one small piece to this great big puzzle can change the way you look at your daily agenda and future plans.

The early bird is the first to see the world’s beauty for the day. It is the first to indulge in the goods on this earth. It is the first to sing a morning song. So why not strive for that kind of joy and accomplishment in life?

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.
