As most Michiganders know, the four seasons do not apply to our beautiful state. Over the past two weeks, Michigan has undergone a terrifying, yet beautiful, weather change that shows signs of spring approaching. The real question is, how long is this nice weather actually going to last? According to my trusty Apple Weather App. it doesn't seem like it is going to last for long. The run down of weather in Michigan ranges from absolutely beautiful, sunny, gorgeous, blue- sky, days to icy, dangerous, below- zero days. Quite honestly, this might be one of the only states that you can experience every season within a 24 hour time span. Here's some of the crazy weather we have experienced here in Michigan over the past two weeks.

Last week, I recall a snowstorm that caused many school closings with temperatures as low as 30 degrees. Although it may be March, it is still early and typically a Michigan winter lasts until the end of March. At this point, most people were wearing heavy snow boots, hats and scarves.

Now lets skip to this week. Right now, as I write this article, the sun is out and the sky is a beautiful blue and the temperature is about 60 degrees. You know what that means, Michiganders. Yes, that's right, bust out your shorts and tank tops this is the warmest it has been in a while. Of course, this is exactly what I have seen on this 60 degree day, it's every one's perfect excuse to bust out the shorts a little earlier than usual. However, just two days ago it rained all day and was windy with a high of about 45 degrees.

Let's hope that the weather stays this beautiful a little bit longer, Michigan. However, who knows what next week could be like. We will have to let Mother Nature decide what's next for good 'ole Michigan weather.

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.
