Life can keep us busy a lot of times. It can give us a few moments where we have free time and we may not know what to do.

Here are several things to do in your free time:

1. Sleep


This may be one of the best and most important things you can do. When you get more rest, you feel and perform better.

2. Relax

Whether it is work, school, or other priorities, relaxing helps to take the stress away. Some things you can do are get a massage, meditate, or sit outside (if weather permits).

3. Exercise

Most of us say we are going to exercise, but end up doing something else. Go for a quick run around the track or neighborhood.

4. Spend time with Family and Friends

Sometimes we are so busy that we never have time to see those close to us. Go out to eat and hang with your friends to catch up. See that family member who always are asking about you and want you to visit.

5. Catch up on Work

This may not be as popular, but if you have other work to do and do not want to procrastinate about it, get caught up on it.

6. Cook

You may not have time to cook your favorite meal because it is either too time consuming or you are always on the go. Cook and enjoy your favorite meal since you have the time.

7. Clean

This also may not be a popular option, but there is something that always needs cleaning. Whether it is doing laundry, dusting or mopping, it always makes things look great and smell better.

8. Apply for Jobs/Internships

You probably are looking for another job or internship for various reasons. You can get a head start on it and hopefully, you get the opportunity or promotion.

9. Shopping

If you have the funds, treat yourself to things that you want. You deserve it! Do not go overboard!

10. Volunteer

If you are bored but want to do something productive and helpful, try volunteering at your local church, food pantry, or any place of your choice. There is nothing like being helpful especially when it comes from the heart.

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.
