Reasons I'm Thankful For My Mother

I couldn't do life without you.

Reasons I'm Thankful For My Mother

I wish I was joking but these are all accurate. I rely on my mom so much and I just want to thank her for all she does for me!

1. She makes doctor appointments

I tried to make my own one time and it was horrible. No idea how she does it so effortlessly.

2. She wakes me up when she knows I have important things to do that morning.

She has no snooze button so I don't really have a choice but to get up.

3. She always mails me cards when I'm at school for every holiday and it makes me day 10 times better.

It's like she knows exactly when I needed that pick-me-up.

4. She is an automatic like on social media.

She has never missed an Instagram or Facebook like opportunity.

5. Every time I come home from school I feel like a princess.

She always makes sure I'm comfortable and have any type of food I could possibly want. It's like going on a mini vacation.

6. Text you to call her so you do within 2 minutes and she doesn't even answer.

And then when she calls you back in 5 minutes she'll say something like she couldn't find her phone or she forgot what she wanted to say.

7. She is a little paranoid about me getting lost.

When I have to go somewhere new on my own she prints out directions even though she knows I can use my phone she always wants me to have a backup.

8. Stay up way past her bedtime to watch tv or a movie with me.

I know she's tired and yet she still makes the time to spend time with me when I'm home.

9. She is always there for anything I need.

Whether it be a tough week at school and she sends me a 'good luck I'm proud of you' text or I have to move she's always there.

10. When we go grocery shopping she wants to get me anything and everything just in case.

It's so nice of her, but totally unnecessary!

11. She has given me many life lessons and for that I cannot thank her enough.

Love you Mom!

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.
