Babysitting can be very tiring at times, but it's always a job filled with fun no matter what! Who wouldn't want a day full of endless hours of cartoons and unlimited fruit snacks? No one could possibly turn that down.

1. You get to watch cartoons and Disney movies.

It honestly can't get any better than watching Disney Channel all day with no one there to judge you.

2. You get to play with most of your favorite childhood toys.

I will never say no to playing with Barbies or American Girl Dolls.

3. You get to play with babies.

What is better than playing with cute babies all day?

4. It doesn't feel like a job...most times.

Except when there is a poopy diaper or a baby that won’t stop crying.

5. If they have pets then you get to play with them too!

There’s nothing more exciting than finding out the family has cats or dogs.

6. Hours of filling coloring books.

And then you will probably end up getting the kids drawings as a gift from them.

7. The money you make isn’t taxed.

One of the only legal jobs you get to keep all of the money you earned.

8. You become friends with the kids you’re babysitting.

After spending so much time with the kids you babysit, you become friends and get to watch them grow. It's a really cool experience.

9. You get to make food you usually don’t at home.

My favorite is character themed Mac 'n' Cheese! For some reason, it tastes better than the normal noodles.

If none of these very influential reasons convinced you babysitting is one of the best jobs, I don't know what will.

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.
