Stress Suitcase

Now what exactly is a stress suitcase?

Being in college has been quite the journey. It has taught me some things, but one thing it has taught me that it is okay to be stressed at times. But what I have learned that is not okay is taking your stress everywhere you go.

I understand getting stressed is normal. It is not a weird thing to have things that you are worried about, no matter what stage you are in. But taking that stress with you to work or to school is just going to make you more stressed. So it may be best to go out for a night and clear your mind of your stresses. Your stresses that are in your suit case (okay not a real suitcase but you get the point) the next day won't be as heavy as the were the previous day.

Most certainly, everyone has their own issues that go into their stress suitcases every day. Some issues can be in the suitcases for a short time and some for a very long time. It depends on the persons' issues. This is not to say that having issues or things in your suitcase is a bad thing. But how you handle what is in your suitcase can be a bad thing because you can't let your suitcase get too filled.

How to declutter your stress suitcase you may ask? Start by getting rid of the negative people that may be a part of your issues. Surround yourself with positive people that will help you become better as a person and that you can learn from. Try getting rid of those small things in your suitcase as well. You may think it won't matter if it gets removed but it really will help out in the long run.

I got this idea from someone I have been watching lately. If you want to learn more about how to handle your stress suitcase, check out Amy Young's video:

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.
