It's the little things that you'll remember.

It’s the moment you're at the beach watching the waves crash on shore

It’s the moment you drive to get taco Bell with your best friend at 12am

It’s the moment when you are sitting in class, and realize that this is what you want to do with your life. The teacher is lecturing on on, and all you can think is “yeah I got this.”

It’s the moment you are leaving a friends house and that say, “text me when you get home, so I know you're safe” and you realize that she is your person.

It’s the moment you fail your first class and realize that you need to try harder.

It’s the moment you're having dinner with your mom, and you realize that she has given up so much for you, and that she will continue to put her life on hold so that yours can move forward.

It’s the moment at the end of a good movie, when you're sad for a split second because it's over.

It’s the moment you start a good book, and suddenly you find yourself 10 chapters in and can’t put it down.

It’s the moment you're getting ready with your best friend for prom.

It’s the moment you walk across the stage, and all of the sudden you graduated High School.

It’s the moment you get you college acceptance letter in the mail.

It’s the moment you stop to look at the lovely flowers they are selling at the farmers market.

It’s the moment you see your dog for the first time in a while and their excitement and love for you is so overwhelming you never want to leave again.

It’s the moment when you and your best friend make up after a long and awful fight, and you're sitting at Perkins until 2am talking.

It’s the moment you look up at the stars because you can't sleep and you see the beauty of this world we live in.

It’s the moment you you're moving out, and look back as you're driving away.

It’s the moment before you move back in to your college apartment and you're grabbing breakfast with your grandparents, talking about life and learning more about them.

It’s the moment you call your aunt and uncle and sit on the phone for hours and hours.

It’s the moment you wake up before your alarm and get to see the sun rise.

It’s the moment you're sitting at the coffee shop down the street and meet him.

It’s the moment after the storm and its calm.

It’s the moment before you fall asleep and everything is peaceful.

It’s all about these little moments.

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.
