People tend to talk about all of the hassles that snow brings, like shoveling driveways and chilly weather. However, what people should be focusing on are all of the wonderful things that snow brings along. Sure, it's cold and piles up quickly, but it's not all bad!

1. Sledding and skiing

Sledding is like having a makeshift rollercoaster in your backyard, and ski trips can be great bonding experiences!

2. Intricate snowflakes

Snowflakes are nature's art, and they're far too beautiful to ignore.

3. Snowmen

Do you wanna build a snowman?

4. Snow angels

Winter is the only time of year when it's acceptable to just flop down on the ground and flail your arms and legs around for no real reason.

5. Winter fashion

Scarves, gloves, hats, you name it! Snowy days are the best time to bring out these cozy winter clothes.

6. Snow is beautiful

Snowy days are also undeniably gorgeous.

7. Photo opportunities

Snow-covered landscapes and snowy selfies will fill up your social media feeds in the blink of an eye.

8. Snow days

No school, no work, what more could you possibly ask for?

9. Outdoor ice rinks

If it's cold enough to snow, it's definitely cold enough for the ice skating rinks to be open!

10. It's prime weather for drinking hot chocolate.

Add a few marshmallows and a dollop of whipped cream and you've got yourself a delicious treat! The mug even doubles as a hand warmer!

11. It's snuggle weather.

Can you think of a better time than a chilly afternoon for snuggling up with your SO?

12. Without the snow, we wouldn't be able to full enjoy the warm weather that comes later in the year.

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.
