Things That Keep Me Goin'

You guessed right, my cats are one

There are certain places, people, animals and other nouns that keep a person going every day. Sometimes it's knowing that you work for the weekend, and you're okay with that. Some people work for their kids and loved ones. Other people work for the five cats that they love unconditionally and are seemingly named after their favorite book characters. Other people just love to be busy and make themselves so. Well, I have a few reasons that I get going every day, and there are a few things that make my life easier to manage.

1. Completing my capstone course

I am taking my English capstone course, which is a fancy way of saying I'm doing my thesis and senior portfolio. Once I finish this up, the rest of my college degree will be a cakewalk. It will be the end of my undergraduate career and opening up a whole new world for me to enter, become instantly overwhelmed and then seek guidance in.

2. My cats

While my cats are not named after my favorite book characters, I do what I do for them in a way too. If I stopped doing my daily activities, they would probably die. Brutal but simple. Cats need love and affection just as much as the next person, sometimes more so, and I am definitely willing to give it to them. They don't talk as much as people.

3. Asana

Asana what? Asana who? Very recently, I was introduced to a project managing website/app combo that helps you organize tasks. You can create a project and put tasks inside, and even collaborate with other people on the same project and assign things individually. It sends emails and notifications on your phone to remind you when you have a due date sneaking up that you forgot about.

4. My loved ones

I better put this one on here I suppose. I do love em' all.

5. I like going about my day

While more often than not I would rather be doing something else other than my current activity, I like my days. They are interesting and lively. There is something new to experiecne every day you walk outside your door.

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.
