Always Go Towards The Light

It's important to have goals in order to survive tough times.

Nothing in life is ever certain, and many people feel lost because they don't know where they are currently going.

College students often feel this way, and are unsure of their path in the future or what they event want their future to look like. The uncertainty of what young adults want in their future can make it seem like they aren't going anywhere, which causes them to feel lost.

Understanding what we want, who we want to be, and what we want to do can make it possible to find our end goal and stay on the right path no matter what happens in the middle.

Seeing the light ahead can make it easy to know where to go, but the darkness around us is still a terrifying reality. The path towards the light may be clear, but making progress on that path can seem like an uphill battle. No matter what happens in the darkness, it is always possible to reach the light.

People often fall away from their sight of the end when they begin to experience trying times, but those times are temporary. Goals can always be reached, whether it is in five days from now or five years from now. We can always get to the end, but we must stay committed to our path for it to be possible.

Anything that happens can knock us backwards, and these instances are what makes the journey hard. However, by pushing through the tough things in life, it is possible to realize any goal we set our minds to. While we may not always be moving forward, we are always on the right path: the path to the light.

Remember that even when you want to give up and things may seem dark, it's only temporary. Follow the light, and you'll be alright.

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.
