Sometimes we take the small moments for granted. It's important to remember that while life is made up of a bunch of big moments, the little one can be special too. Here are some of the things that we should always take the time to stop and appreciate.

1. Long car rides with the music up and the windows down.

2. Catching up with someone, and talking to them like no time has passed.

3. The look on someone's face after eating something sour.

4. Cuddling with someone you love.

5. Getting thrown into the water by friends, when you didn’t want to get your hair wet.

6. Movie nights.

7. That smile in that picture that is perfect proof of how happy you were when it was taken.

8. The late night food runs.

9. Pool games.

10. The “let’s eat takeout on the floor” kind of nights.

11. The first time he tells you that you’re beautiful, and every time after that.

12. The days that it feels like nothing went wrong, and you’re just happy.

13. The days where everything went wrong, but were filled with comfort by people who love you.

14. Carnival rides.

15. Achieving a goal of yours.

16. Contagious laughter.

17. Those friends who you can tell anything and everything to.

18. Phone calls that last longer than an hour, without you even realizing it.

19. Spontaneous meetups with people.

20. When someone knows exactly what you need in a certain situation.

21. A really good cup of coffee in the morning.

22. Traveling.

23. Sitting around a bonfire with friends.

24. Picnics.

25. Watching your favorite sports team win.

26. Getting lost in a song.

27. Eating your favorite food.

28. Listening to the best throwback songs in the car.

29. Receiving a hand-written letter from someone.

30. Photo booth pictures.

31. Eating dessert before dinner.

32. Dancing like nobody's watching.

33. Seeing the look on someone’s face after you’ve helped them with something.

34. Brunch.

35. When a baby wraps their whole hand around one of your fingers.

36. Spending time with your family.

    ….And so much more. Life is full of wonderful things, and sometimes we just need to be reminded of them.

    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.
