10 Things You Should Do Right Now, Or At Least Soon

Life is crazy. A lot of the time we get caught up in stress. It is so easy to forget to give ourselves time to recuperate or enjoy life. We need to, though! These are some things I like to do for myself. I don't do them all the time, but I'm working on that.

 Thank the people who are in your life

I have to admit, I'm really bad at doing this. Despite my failure to tell my people how much I love them and how thankful I am for them, I am glad they have stuck by me all these years.

Get outside

Alright, this one can be hard. Being a student, you're always busy. Especially, if you have a job. You don't have much free time. Get outside, walk around or just sit, enjoy it while you can.

Go somewhere you've never been before

This could be a city or a place in your town. Go! Experience it!

Do the thing you've always dreamed of

I have a lot of "wild" dreams. I have some dreams that seem like I'll never be able to reach it, but I'm going to do it no matter how hard it may seem.

Look back on good memories

Memories are one of the things that keep me going. Life is good. Even if it is only good for one day or an hour. I cherish those memories.

TREAT YO' SELF

You deserve it!!!!

Sing a song

Alright, hear me out. I do this a lot. Songs come to my head out of nowhere, and I belt it out. I don't care where I am or what I'm doing.

Sit down and breathe

Life is crazy. We rarely take time for ourselves. We need to though!

Call a friend

Talking with friends is just great, ok.

 Watch your favorite show

Hulu Brooklyn 99

I love "Brooklyn Nine-Nine!" It makes me laugh so much! It can always brighten my day, especially if it wasn't the best.

I have to be honest, some of these things I haven't done in a while, but I'm going to do better. I'm going to make 2019 a year of bettering myself by doing the little things that make smile. You should, too!

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.
