Life Goals

What I want to come from life.

Life Goals

I have a long list of things I want to do in life. This list includes skydiving, taking ballroom dance classes, learning to fly a plane, and for some odd reason ride a bull. As a 19 year old, my list of wants is longer than my list of goals achieved; although I can say I have seen the Pope speak, been in two places at once (if you count the A Walk to Remember cheat), and swam with stingrays and dolphins. I have been fortunate enough to do a lot in my short life. The other night, though, I was thinking of what I really want in life. Not just to play a Disney Princess but what I want to come of my life and I came up with these 10 things:

1. Date a celebrity

Nick Jonas. Justin Bieber. Jack Gilinsky. Nick Jonas. Steven Kelly. Nick Jonas. Nick Jonas!

2. Get married

To find that one person who I can share my life with

3. Go to my grandkids' weddings

I want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up and graduate high school and go off to college and eventually get married.

4. Have at least one great grandchild

Both sets of my grandparents are now great-grandparents and I want to be able to experience that feeling

5. Travel

I hope that one day I am in a place to just throw a dart at a map and go to wherever it lands.

6. Leave my mark on the world

This one is a little more complicated. I do not know how I am going to do it. Whether I am the person to cure cancer or I somehow save an endangered species, I want to leave something behind in the world.

7. Have a house in the Hamptons

My favorite place in the world.

8. Make a difference in someone's life

Again, like number 6, not sure I plan to do it, but I will hopefully. I want to impact someone in a positive way.

9. Repay my parents for their goodness

Raising me. Vacations. A Happy Life. Supporting me. College.

10. Be Happy

:)

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
