Stay Close To People That Make You Feel Like Sunshine

During your college career, you are typically not going to be with your family that you were with all of your life, now it is your time to create your own little family with the friends you make at school. This is a crucial time in your life because you are figuring out what you want to do for the rest of it and your growing into the person you want to become. Although it will be hard at times you always need a support system to back you up and have your back no matter what.

This is where you should stay close to people that make you feel like sunshine.

I am grateful that I am able to say my friends either from childhood that go to different universities than I do or even at school make me feel like sunshine. I know it is cheesy to say, but you truly do need your girl gang to go through life. It is also okay not to have a million and one friends because quality over quantity is very accurate and important.

Who you surround yourself with is how people perceive you as and who you become as well.

During this time in your life, you will grow as an individual and it is okay to stop being friends with people because you will change as a person and want to surround yourself with people that have the same interests and goals as yourself.

Who you surround yourself with on a daily basis will affect your mood and what you do in life.

How you know you have found friends that make you feel like sunshine is if they respect you as a person, your most treasured core values are similar, they are supportive of you during your bad days, they love and will never judge you, and they respect your time and personal growth. With this said everything happens for a reason and the people that are put into your life are put here to help you blossom as an individual, each and every single one of them.

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.
