Things We Know, But Sometimes Forget

It is extremely easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle of life. I find myself forgetting the simple things. Here is a list of 16 thoughts I needed to remind myself of, and maybe you do, too!!

1. When your boyfriend talks to another girl, it is okay.


Do not let yourself seem crazy over a conversation about Wednesday's accounting homework.

2. Invest in the quality shoes, girlie.

My go-to shoes are Brooks, you can find them linked here.

3. Social media is not real.

4. If you tend to blame others, you need to stop as soon as possible.

“And if you fall on the concrete, that is your a** fault.” Thanks, Kanye.

5. Using only a make up remover wipe is not good enough.

Even after the “worst night ever,” do your full nightly regimen. Be nice to your skin, it will thank you in 20 years. I recently fell in love with Rodan+Fields!!

6. There is no reason to have four pairs of Kendra Scott 'Elle' earrings. Two is enough.

7. Your hair looks fine.

8. Be an ACTIVE listener in every conversation you have.

9. Instagram Direct Messaging is not an appropriate form of communication.

10. You do not have to say yes to everything, but always say yes to girl talk and a mani/pedi.

11. What Susie says about Sally says more of Susie than Sally.

12. ALWAYS have the drive to be better than you were yesterday.

13. You only get so many college weekends, so GO OUT. But either Friday or Saturday, never both.

14. Water. Water. Water. I have linked the only bottle you will ever need here.

15. Stop looking at who viewed your Snapchat story.

If they are on your friends list, they will eventually watch your story. That is how the app works.

16. B E H A P P Y.

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.
