For most people, fitting a workout into a busy schedule is close to impossible. And if you do get that workout in, you probably won't have time to eat something before, therefore you won't have that much energy to put into your workout. If you're one of these people, you're in luck, there are certain foods that are quick, easy, and beneficial for you to scarf down before your workout.

1. Blueberry banana protein smoothie

Throw some blueberries, bananas, milk and yogurt into a blender and let it all mix together while you change into your workout clothes. You'll find yourself working out so much harder than you would've on an extra stomach.

2. Apples with peanut butter

This is super easy to make as you're running out the door. All you have to do is cut up some apples, grab a spoonful of peanut butter and you're good to go.

3. Turkey avocado rolls

Grab some avocado slices and turkey out of the fridge and quickly roll them up. You can even eat these while driving to the gym!

4. Carrots with hummus

Not only are carrots good to eat for your eye sight, but they're a great snack to shove down before a workout!

5. Trail mix

Now that you know trail mix is an option, there's no excuse to not eat before a workout! You can either buy it pre-made at the store, or if you have a little extra time, you can make it yourself.

6. Cheese and crackers

If you thought trail mix was easy, it just got easier. Just throw some cheese on some crackers and eat them while on your way to the gym. To be honest, it really doesn't get easier than cheese and crackers as a pre-workout snack.

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.
