The Beauty In The Moments

Today was one of my favorite days.

Today was one of my all time favorite days. It was such an ordinary day but the pure bliss and happiness I felt is what made it so unique.

My day had basically consisted of getting up super early, then sitting in a meeting all day. It was SO nice outside so after I got done, we decided to walk to the gym, work out, then walk back. Well about 5 minutes into walking, we decided on a different plan. We didn't actual want to go work out but we still wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather.

So we decided to take a drive to get slushies & icees (because the rational thing to do instead of working out is to get calorie-filled frozen drinks). We got into the car, rolled the windows down, and jammed. Literally playing everything from throwbacks, to pop, to rap, to country. After our pit stops for frozen drinks, we then also proceeded to make not one, but two stops for fries. Fries + slushies/icee = the perfect, well balanced meal.

We made it back to the dorms right as the sun was starting to set but this was one of the moments that I wish would never end. I honestly could have rode for hours. It was something so simply yet so fun. Our little adventure made me feel so blessed and carefree.

If you ever feel bored, or depressed, or stressed, or sad, I would 10/10 recommend you take a drive with you pals and roll the windows down. Even if you feel happy, or excited, or joyful, I would 10/10 recommend you take a drive with your pals and roll the windows down. These times are what become memories.

It's the little moments like this that make me really love life.

"Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps." -Sharon Drape

**Also, fyi, most RaceTrac gas stations have 12 flavors of icees and 8 flavors of slushies *whoop whoop*

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.
