I think it's safe to say that most people buy things they don't actually need and then those items end up sitting in piles around the room. I am one of those people. I've recently decided that I need to do a little winter cleaning and it's a slow process. These are some of the items I've found that I forgot I even owned.

Beats by Dre.

I received the blue pair for Christmas one year during high school and the purple pair when I bought my MacBook but I don't use either of them. I now have AirPods and do not touch these Beats.

Backrest pillow.

I moved my dresser to the corner of the room and bought this pillow with the intention of using it as a little hangout spot. Over a year later, it still hasn't been touched.

Vacuum.

I bought a vacuum last year but I rarely use it. At this moment in time, I'm not even sure where it is...

"Killin’ It" notebook.

I have a thing for making lists and keeping notebooks. I tried to use this one as a To-Do list but it didn't work and just sits on my desk. I'll have to figure out a way to use it soon.

Record player.

My brother gave me this record player after he moved from college and it just sits on my bedside table picking up dust. I bought a new record so hopefully, I'll start to use it.

Dumbbells.

I kept these dumbbells so I could use them for home workouts but they really just sit there as potential objects to stub my toes on.

Jewelry.

I own a lot of jewelry that I never wear. The earrings and necklace that I wear every day never get changed unless there's a special occasion.

Candles.

I was looking through my closet and found these candles. These could've come into good use during baths but I never knew I had them.

Hammock.

I got this hammock sometime in the spring or summer and I've never used it. When I got it, I planned to use it all the time but I never seem to have the time..

Camera.

I've had this camera for a lot of years and it does get used when I go on trips but the rest of the time, it sits in my closet. I like to take pictures of random things and sometimes I'll go around campus finding interesting sights.

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.
