There's no way to really describe the feeling of gratification from popping bubble wrap--making sure we get every. last.bubble. No man left behind. Yes, it's weird but c'mon...don't act like you don't love the feeling. Although we encounter these things all the time, it's actually hard to sit down and make a list off the cuff. However, I have done my best to do so for your enjoyment, and I know that you can relate--because these things are just so darn satisfying.

1.  Opening right to the page you needed

2. Having exact change

3. The sound the vacuum makes when it picks dirt up

4. Waking up minutes before your alarm

5. When you pour soda from a can and it fits perfectly into the cup

6. Peeling the plastic off new stuff

7. Waking up and realizing you have 3 more hours to sleep

8. When your new pen writes smoothly on paper

9. Typing with long nails

10. The smell of your clean laundry

11.  Peeling the seal off of a bottle

12. Watching the milk mix into the coffee

13.  When the squigglys from a spiral notebook rip off in one swoop

14. When the shampoo and conditioner run out at the same time

15. Squeezing a new tube of toothpaste

16. The way your legs feel after using a new razor

17. Crawling into a bed full of clean sheets

18. Peeling a command hook off the wall

19. Trying on a pair of jeans and having them fit like a glove

20. When you have just enough milk for your cereal

21. Stopping the microwave a millisecond before it beeps

22. When your nail polish peels off your nail in a whole piece

 

And of course...

23. Popping bubble wrap

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.
