It's no secret that it's very easy to get caught up in the swing of everyday life. It can often feel like you don't even have time to breathe, let alone find small blessing in everyday life. But if you look around really hard you might find a couple of these blessings in your busy day.

1. Being able to snooze your alarm 

I don’t know about y’all, but I have to set 12 alarms to make sure I wake up on time. Nothing pleases me more then hearing that first alarm go off and knowing that I still have 30 minutes left to sleep.

2. A warm sunny day 

Mississippi weather is extremely bipolar. It can be 85 and sunny in the morning and -10 and sleeting by afternoon. Waking up to a warm sunny day, especially when it stays that way all day, is quite the blessing.

3. Food 

Food is always a blessing. Always.

4. Doing good on an assignment 

Nothing brightens your day like getting a good grade back on an assignment you didn’t feel so hot about.

5. Class getting cancelled. 

Or anything getting canceled really.

6. The fact that you even woke up today 

Everyday is special and every day holds something special. Don’t let your life get in the way of seeing all the important tiny things around you.

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.
