Let's face it - life is rough.

After becoming an adult, we are faced with more freedom and with that freedom comes great responsibilities that can be overwhelming, to say the least. Between finances, time management, social lives, and relationships, life can get tricky, and we often lose control of ourselves. When I feel useless, here are five reminders that I tell myself, and that you should tell yourself too.

You're not alone and everyone is dealing with their own sh*t

No. Just no.

I know it feels like the world is singling you out, but it's totally not true. Everyone has their own issues, for better or for worse, and we all have to deal with the sh*t we're served. No seriously, ask your mom, grandma, neighbor, the random barista at SBux.

Every one is dealing with some issues.

Do what makes you happy

Life isn't meant to be in one big endless cycle.

Trust me, I get it. My life feels like it's an endless routine too. However, life isn't about just existing. Time is of the essence, so make sure to do stuff that you love!

Save money and go on a trip, go on a hike by yourself! Hell, do what makes you happy! I know that my happy place is binge-watching all of the Harry Potter movies in my Ravenclaw robe and endless popcorn.

With that being said, find balance

Do what makes you happy, but don't forget to take care of business.

Life is hard, and so putting in hard work will make you succeed. There's no escaping adversity, so you might as well make life your b*tch.

Live life regret-free

So you messed up? Great, move on.

There is no need to cry over spilled milk, especially when there's more in the carton. Again, everyone makes mistakes. In the wise words of Hannah Montana, "Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it again and again till I get it right".

Your current situation is not your forever

There will always be a storm before the blue skies. Your current situation is not your forever!

Life is so unexpected and spontaneous, who knows, you might end up marrying the next Prince of England, and become Queen! That's the best part about life: who knows where it will take you.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

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.
