The Importance Of Chewbacca Mom

Candace "Chewbacca Mom" Payne, one of the most recent videos to go viral, has made millions of people laugh. But this video is more than just a hilarious viral video. To some it may just be a video but to me there are some underlying messages that we should all support.

1) Embrace the little joys in life.

Candace bought the Chewbacca mask at Kohl's as part of her "birthday joy." Once she put on that mask and started laughing though, it was clear how pure her joy was. So maybe we should all find the things in life that bring us joy and embrace them.

2. "Treat yo self."

The phrase coined by Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford from "Parks and Rec," this mask is clearly a treat for herself. As said before, Candace purchased it for her "birthday joy." This purchase was definitely her treating herself. Now I'm not saying we should treat ourselves constantly, but every once in awhile, indulge in yourself. You won't regret it... unless you let the treating get out of hand.

3. Don't care what people think.

In the video Candace happily states that she wanted to share the news of her purchase with the people of the internet. Also she noticed people in the parking lot watching her as she filmed the video. But not once did the thought of what people were thinking of her stop her from the excited laugh attack. She did not let the judgement of society hold her back from true happiness.

So be like Chewbacca Mom and embrace the little joys in life, treat yo self, and try to not care what people think. Hopefully we can all be our own versions of "I'm such a happy Chewbacca".

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.
