The 11 Best Things To Do On A Snow Day

Winter Storm Jonas has just hit the east coast and it has me missing grade school and all of the snow days that we used to have. Weren't those the best? You could sleep until noon, wear your pajamas all day, and really just do a lot of nothing.

1. Build a snowman.

It doesn't have to be a snow man! It could be a snow woman.

2. Make a blanket fort.

If this doesn't sound appealing to you, then I don't know what will.

3. Watch a movie (from inside the blanket fort).

This is even better until you have to clean up the fort.

4. Go sledding.

It's all fun and games until you have to walk back up the hill.

5. Go ice skating.

What else can make you feel young and pretty like ice skating?

6. Bake cookies.

While you're at it, watch this too.


7. Have hot chocolate.

You get bonus points if you make it from scratch.

8. Read a book.

Who normally has time to do this?

9. Build a fire (in the fireplace).

Disclaimer: This is really difficult to do.

10. Learn a new skill.

There's nothing else to do, right?

11. Do nothing but sleep.

Some days, you really just need to catch up on your beauty rest! Being that amazing all of the time is hard work.

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.
