Learn From The Kids...

What can we learn from kids?

So much!

First off, their love for life and adventure is infectious; even just looking at kids can make us happy because they are full of joy. Children are often pros at seeing the world through a positive and magical lens. Never afraid to explore their imagination and find fun in the little things, we can learn a lot from kids! Dr. Seuss once said, “Adults are just outdated children” and I think that is true. So, here is a list of ten pictures that will hopefully let you feel like a kid again, forget about your stress for a few minutes, and embrace the beautiful chaos of life!


1. Good Morning

Nothing is cuter than sleepy and cuddly kids! This child in particular is easy to relate to... waking up is hard! This picture makes embracing of the cozy life quite inviting though!

2. Best Seat in the House

We might not be able to sit on our Dad's shoulders anymore, but this little one can still remind us that we can lean on each other whenever needed. And wow, what a great photo capturing life's happiness.

3. Be the "Dancing Queen"

This kid has it figured out! Life is a great reason in itself to celebrate. So get up and dance!

4. Sing in the Shower

Even the simplest

moments in life can be fun, so remember to embrace the little things!

5. Call up your Friends

Laughter is the best medicine they say, and who can make you laugh more than some of your greatest friends! In college, we often live very far from friends. This can't stop you though from having a good time together!

6. The Surfer Boy

Those little legs might not be quite ready to hit the waves, but that little boy sure does appear ready for some fun adventure! Try something new and enjoy it!

7. The Painter

Channeling her artistic spirit this girl wears her art nicely! How could this photo not make you smile?

8. The Inventors


Sick of walking down the stairs? How about flying down in a new "space jet" or zooming down them in a "car"? As we grow, our creative imagination seems to be locked away, but sometimes it's okay to hold on to that playfulness!

9. Forever Friends

Remember when you'd exchange friendship bracelets, one half of the heart said "friends" and the other half said "forever". I always exchanged those with my sisters, and they were true- we will be friends forever. These kids above also know how to embrace friendship. Hands held together and feet up in the air, never forget the power of love within friendships!

10. Chill Out

All too often, we spend our time freaking out about every gritty detail in our days. This girl knows what life is about! As her shirt reads and her spirit speaks, "It's OK". And it is, really, OK. Life goes on and we're here for each other. So, let go of your worries and embrace life to it's fullest, like kids do!

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.
