Hello December!

December is the last month of the year, and by no means an excuse to slow down.

Hello December!

I honestly can’t believe it’s already December of 2016. Winter is coming, Christmas is coming, Jesus is coming. So, I need to get myself ready for finals, for the wind and the snow, for the year of 2017, and for Christ.

There might be hard times that you feel like you want to let go, but please don’t. Think about how far you have gone, and don’t make that long process a waste. This is the deciding moment, finish strong.

If there’s a moment that you feel super tired, write down “This is my 30-minute of tiredness and I’m not doing anything” on a piece of paper, stick it on somewhere you can see from your bed, and go take a nap for 30 minutes.

Remember, this is 30 minutes of complete tiredness and you can’t use this time for any other activities (such as playing with your phone). Save it all for later, when you revive your energy. This is the time when all of us are busy, but don’t forget to live every day to the fullest.

Spend some time hanging out with friends, playing games, exercising, shopping, eating out, doing service, and especially praying. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with Him can help you a lot more than you can imagine.

And lastly, stay healthy. Sickness is the last thing ever wanted, because your family and friends want to see you happy, intact, and energetic!

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.
