There's lots of uncertainty in the world. We wake up in the morning, having no idea how our day will play out. No idea if it will be a bad day, an "eh" day, an "OK" day, or a great day. However, there are many things that are guaranteed to make your day better--no matter what kind of day it is.

1. A warm bed on a cold morning/night.

There's nothing more heavenly, no better combination. Being wrapped up with toasty blankets and pillows with a hot cup of coffee and some Netflix has a way of making everything okay.

2. Babies.

From their little smiles, to the little sounds they make, babies will make you smile, every time. The way they wrap their tiny hands around your one finger is seriously heartwarming.

3. Puppies.

Like babies, puppers are another infallible way to turn your day around. They're always happy, they love you unconditionally, and they're always excited to see you. I mean come on, look at these cuties!



4. A good hair, makeup or outfit day.

When you look good, you feel good. If you're anything like me, you've had one of those days when your makeup came out bad or your hair sucks and you feel super upset. Your day is ruined before it even starts! But when you get a compliment on your makeup, or you put on your favorite outfit, it boosts your whole mood!

5. Listening to old songs.

I'm talking early 2000s throwbacks. If I'm ever sad, or need a pick-me-up, I'll listen to my Spotify playlist of middle school jams. As soon as a song comes on, you start singing all of the lyrics you didn't even know you remembered. Old songs also have a way of transporting you back to a certain time or memory in your life.

6. Reading a book.

There's no better escape from stress in your world than jumping into a new one! No one likes being told what to read in school, but reading a book for pleasure is totally different! Find one that you like, or if you don't know what you like, go for a classic.

7. Watch stand-up comedy.

If you have Netflix, you may or may not know about all of the hilarious comedy shows they have on it! Some of my favorites are Jim Gaffigan and Bo Burnham. You will be cracking up the whole time, trust me!

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.
