Life May Be Good Now, But Make Sure It Only Gets Better

Make it the best for the rest.

I don't believe there will be one part of my life that's monumentally better than the rest of it, because I believe that every day somehow gets better than the one before.

So many people say their "glory days" where in college, some delusional people even say high school, and I think that's unfortunate.

Even though both college and high school have been amazing times in my life full of learning and growth, I don't think I will ever call either the best time of my life because I refuse the notion that the best time of my life has ended.

I think many people consider these times in their life to be the best because of the lack of responsibility associated with both, and I think there lies the problem.

People graduate and think it's all downhill from there because now they are responsible for fully taking care of themselves, but full responsibility for your own life means you have all the tools you need to make it amazing.

Education, experience, and networking have brought you to a place to go out into the world and do what you enjoy.

Yes, this means holding down a job, but that's why it's so important to find a career path you enjoy.

They say if you love what you do you won't work a day in your life. Now, isn't that the kind of life we all want to live?

We're continuously moving into different chapters of our lives and we shouldn't spend our days crying because certain parts of our lives are over, we should smile because they happened and we created memories we'll have forever.

Enter every new aspect of your life with the same enthusiasm you had the night before move-in day at your dream university and the rest of your life, will be the best of your life.

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.
