1. Make your bed!

I think many people will agree with me in saying that making your bed in the morning will have positive impacts on you throughout the day. If you make your bed in the morning, you start off your day positively by accomplishing something! I know it seems tedious to do every day, but if you accomplish a simple task right when you wake up it will help you to feel more productive and hopefully more energetic throughout the day.

2. Time to wash your face

Washing your face in the morning is not only good for your skin but it will also wake you up! Don't forget to wet your face with warm water first to open up your pores. Rinsing with cold water after cleansing your face is good for closing those pores back up but it also will give you a little boost of energy to get on with your day!!

3. Breakfast Breakfast Breakfast

I know a lot of people that skip breakfast in the morning, which is fine if you're in a hurry but honestly breakfast is the most important meal of the day y'all! If you have a full day it's a great idea to eat a protein rich breakfast that will be able to sustain you till you have time for lunch. As a college student I know we're all busy and breakfast just sounds like a hassle but when you have class all morning and won't have time to eat till 2, breakfast is truly a necessity to get your day going.

4. Shower

A shower in the morning doesn't have to happen everyday because obviously not all of us wake up in time to hop in the shower, but it can be really helpful in waking you up in the morning!

5. Coffee Coffee!

I know not everyone drinks coffee but a classic cup of joe in the morning will really help to give you that extra caffeine boost on those days you feel as if you're going to fall asleep in your 8 am.

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.

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.
