The Video You Have to Watch: Life Explained in 27 Seconds

Does anyone really have life "figured out?" If you're the average college student, I bet you most likely don't. With that being said, the New York filmmaker, Casey Neistat, did a pretty good job explaining it.

The thing about life is that for all of the hardships we might endure, it could be worse. Obviously, that might be a little cheesy and obnoxious because we all like to sulk sometimes. But there comes a point where it's time to suck it up. Life is about hustling; you have to stay on your grind and keep pushing regardless of what is happening. If my parents read this, they would probably laugh because this is coming from me, but it really is the truth.

Everyone gets down sometimes and that's fine, but if you take too long to sulk, you're wasting time! The guy who put together this 27-second film, Mr. Neistat, is the perfect example of a person who wastes no time. Now in his mid 30s, he has worked incredibly hard to become a successful filmmaker in New York City. Any time not being used to get something done is considered a waste of time in his book.

As extreme as that might sound, he isn't wrong. Think about how much more you might get done if you eliminated just a bit of down time in your day. Not all down time (don't worry, I'm not crazy), but just a little. Anyone can get stuff done if they put their mind to it.

Life is complicated. There's no arguing with that, but hustling, regardless of whatever might be going on, is definitely a start to moving in the right direction. It might be hard to accept that and actually take action, but trust me, if you get up and accomplish something right now, you will feel better than you did prior to completing that task. Now if only I practiced what I was preaching! Being lazy might be more fun than being proactive a lot of the time, but being proactive allows you to accomplish life goals. At the end of the day, no one can help you get through life without you helping yourself.

Don't forget to hustle.

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.
