We have all had times where nothing seems to be going our way. And I do mean nothing, like the days that you can't even get your hair to lay right after spending thirty minutes on it. But, then there are the people who don't shut up about it for DAYS. It's like one day doesn't go their way and they bring it up for the rest of their lives.

You probably know someone like this. Might be a coworker, a friend, or just someone that you run into on campus. Either way, they are the worst kind of people. They literally surround the whole room with a negative energy that can affect everyone else that is around them.

If you are one of these people, I have some advice to you. It might 'make you feel better' to complain 24/7 but there comes a time when that becomes what you are known for. You start to lose friends because of the negative energy that you constantly give only drains them out and they start to feel as though that is the only thing you contribute to the friendship.

Having all of this negativity in your own life also brings yourself down. Yeah, life isn't perfect and nobody said it would be. The world doesn't owe you anything. People don't owe you anything. That's just how it is. If you don't like something, go fix it for yourself. Make it better for yourself.

Maybe you're one of those people who don't realize how negative they have become. I know I can find myself guilty of this every once in a while because let's be real, no one is perfect. Every now and again it is good to take a step back and look at your life. Challenge yourself to find something positive that you have constantly.

The people who are the type that complains about everything are usually the ones who only want things done one way. They depend too much for things to be done a certain way then how it is going to happen or live by the saying 'it's my way or the highway'. No one wants to be around someone that thinks this way.

They make the space they occupy complete misery. That is why they are what is wrong with the world.

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.
