With Christmas around the corner, I've been having flashbacks to the gifts I used to receive as a kid. Nintendo DS games were definitely some of my favorite! If you grew up with a Nintendo DS, I guarantee you've played at least one of these games.

1. Nintendogs

Playing this after school was the next best thing to coming home to an actual dog. Name something better than virtual puppy playdates!

2. Kirby Super Star Ultra

I absolutely loved how there was a different helper for every power (and they're all adorable)!

3. Cooking Mama

Cooking Mama

Cooking Mama was one of the most iconic cooking games out there!

4. Mario Party DS

Playing this on long car rides with my siblings made time fly by! My brother and I got super competitive whenever we played the minigames.

5. Mario Kart DS

Every console needs a good racing game!

6. Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum

Pokemon Diamond

Every Pokemon game has a special place in my heart, but this is one I remember playing vividly as a kid.

7. Drawn to Life

Drawn To Life

A game that combined art, stories, and video games was like a dream come true for me. This was by far one of my favorite games as a kid!

8. Brain Age

Brain Age

This is one of the few educational games I've come across that was actually fun.

9. Scribblenauts

This game was all about thinking outside the box and always kept your gears turning. Games like this are why I can think on my feet!

10. Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing let gamers discover a whole new world of little animal friends! I remember legitimately getting emotional when one of the in-game characters had to move away.

11. Warioware Touched!

I think keeping up with this game is where I got my quick reflexes.

12. Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Heaven

I personally never owned this game, but my little cousin let me borrow it once and it's pretty addicting. Also, any game that incorporates music into it is bound to catch my attention.

13. Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Professor Layton

This was my brother's all time favorite game. If you're into puzzles and mystery novels, this is the game for you!

14. Littlest Pet Shop: Winter

Littlest Pet Shop Game

You were already collecting all of the toys, so buying the game was the logical next step.

15. Purr Pals

Purr Pals

This was similar to Nintendogs, except for when you needed your daily kitty fix!

Just looking at these game covers is making me all nostalgic!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
