It's painfully hard for me to get rid of things from old clothes I haven't worn in years to old magazines I will most likely never touch again. I have boxes full of things I keep because I just can't get myself to get rid of these useless things. If you can relate, then this article is totally for you.

1. Keeping clothes from 5 years ago.

Do you even wear any of these still? Probably not.

2. Keeping some of your childhood toys “just in case”.

For me, it's my Easy-Bake Oven that I just can't seem to let go of.

3. Having an overflowing box of free things you got from your various college events.

Because you think you'll need that random headband sometime.

4. Piles of Seventeen and Vogue magazines you can’t seem to throw out.

Because maybe you'll need something you saw in it 10 years from now.

5. Maybe you have been stocking up on those free Victoria’s Secret bags you get with a purchase.

Yeah, me too. I have about forty and that's not even an exaggeration.

6. Wanting to keep old perfume bottles because of how pretty it looks.

You think you'll find another use for it, but when?

7. You just can’t throw out that expired makeup.

How can makeup even expire. I feel like I just bought it.

8. Keeping every cute gift bag I’ve been given and never reusing it.

Maybe I can use some to decorate my room with. Nah, I'll just keep them in a box.

9. Drawers full of t-shirts.

Still having all of your old high school t-shirts. Can you even have too many t-shirts?

10. Needing more storage bins for the stuff you can't part with.

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.
