Just a few tips and reminders to help you out.

1. Relax.

Stop tensing your shoulders. Relax your face. Breathe deep, and let your body unwind. Much better.

2. Drink more water.

Women need 95 ounces of fluid every day, and men are around 130. Reaching this daily goal will give you more energy, improve your metabolism, and have plenty of benefits towards your overall health.

3. Practice kindness.

It costs nothing and only improves everyone's happiness if you practice kindness everywhere you go. If you put positive energy into the world, it's sure to come back to you. Besides, you never know what others are going through.

4. Sit up straight.

Work on those abs of steel and your posture at the same time. You'll be perceived with more respect if you stop hunching over.

5. Get the right amount of sleep.

From improving your focus to helping you live longer, the proven benefits of getting a good night's rest are undisputed. I know that your essay is due soon, and you want to party it up while you're in college, but self-care has to come first every once in awhile. Take care of your long-term health by getting some shut-eye.

6. Be grateful.

No matter who you are, there is someone else who helped you get where you are today. Whether it be a parent, a significant other, a best friend, a teacher, or anyone else, this person deserves to be recognized. If you voice your appreciation, you'll make their day a bit brighter.

7. "IS THAT THING DUE TODAY?"

Check. Double-check. Then check again.

8. Make small, healthy choices.

Trade out that soda for water at dinner tonight, and take the stairs today. Continue treating your mind and body to small healthy habits, and you'll be surprised how good you'll feel in a month.

9. Confidence, confidence, confidence!

Have you ever heard of "Treat people the way you want to be treated"? Well, it's just as true that others will only respect you as much as you respect yourself. Walk, talk, and do everything with confidence, and no one will question you again.

Back to your regularly scheduled life.

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.
