We’re sometimes a bit too hard on ourselves. We don’t take the time to appreciate our little accomplishments. Sometimes the smallest things can actually make you feel so warm and fuzzy about yourself. So get up, kick some ass and appreciate yo'self. Here is a list of all the things we should pat ourselves on the back for.

1. Finding the weirdest movies/TV shows on Netflix.

2. Being able to eat an entire pizza by yourself.

3. Knowing how to use the correct “your/you’re” and "to/too/two."

4. Knowing how to use the correct “then/than.”

5. Getting dressed all by yourself in clothes that match (and are mostly clean).

6. Knowing how to do laundry AND clean out the lint thing.

7. Recognizing when it is time to shower.

8. Waking up.

9. Eating.

10. Knowing the correct buttons to push to make your mom say your full name.

11. Having a friend. Knowing a person’s name besides your family.

12. Not getting hit by a car when crossing the street.

13. Existing in the same world as llamas.

14. Being able to type (keyboard, typewriter, whatever).

15. Knowing where babies come from.

16. Making your friends laugh when you trip (you are hilarious!).

17. Knowing how to use chopsticks. Knowing what chopsticks are.

18. Not punching your distant relative when they ask what you’re doing after graduation.

19. Remembering your sister/brother’s birthday (or at least knowing what month it’s in).

20. Going to class on a rainy day. Going outside on a rainy day. Waking up on a rainy day.

21. Eating a piece of fruit at least once a week.

22. Not screaming every time you walk into the DMV.

23. Knowing the colors.

24. Brushing your teeth every day.

25. Surviving middle school.

26. Being able to cook at least one dish (ramen counts).

27. Texting someone back (not putting a time frame on that one).

28. Having more than one cent in your bank account.

29. Knowing how to read.

30. Reading this article all the way through.

Give yourself a high five and take over the world! Life is hard, but you’re doing well and I believe in you. Never forget that you exist in the same world as llamas.

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.

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.
