Going on a trip, need to pack? I bet this is what runs through your head.

Thoughts You Have While Packing
My Fotolog

I love traveling, it is one of my favorite things. Another one of my favorite things to do is pack! Most people hate it but I don't know why, it means you are going somewhere. I recently had to pack and I know I am not alone when I say these things go through your head when you pack:

1. I am going to stay so organized this time.

2. Let me plan out all of my outfits.

3. Wow, I have a lot of clothes.

4. I am going to bring what I need, and nothing else.

5. Well I guess I could bring this just in case I need it.

6. I am going to be there for five days, might as well bring 15 pair of underwear. You know, just in case.

7. I'm not even bringing tennis shoes but I'll bring three pairs of socks. I might get cold.

8. If I am bringing socks, maybe I should bring tennis shoes.

9. Oh rats, I have to bring shoes. I'm not going to have enough room.

10. Maybe I should bring a bigger suitcase.

11.Then I could totally bring more clothes.

12. No, I told myself I wasn't going to over pack.

13. Screw it! I'm bringing it all!

14. UGH! I have nothing to wear.

15. Oh wait! My floor is covered in clothes.

16. I really need to stop shopping........HAHA like that is ever going to happen.

17. What would happen if I didn't bring a razor?

18. Five days without shaving.....YIKES, I'll find room for a razor. Its small.

19. Now I have to go to Target to get travel size stuff.

20. Well since I'm getting travel stuff I may as well get candy for the plane. And gum. And Chapstick. Maybe a new book, and might as well look at clothes.

21. NO MORE CLOTHES!!

22. How much makeup do I actually need to bring?

23. I'm only going to bring twelve tubes of lip gloss, sounds reasonable.

24. I'm glam, I have to bring so much makeup! I don't even know how to scale back on that.

25. What purse am I going to bring?

26. Why did I not think of this sooner? I have to find something that will match everything that I am packing. Oh good lord, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!

27. How heavy can my suitcase be?

28. Calls mom "How heavy can my suitcase be?"

29. I can't take anything out. I need everything that I packed.

30. Now on to the carry on.

31. If I bring a book I have to bring a back up. Its a long flight, I'll most likely finish one and want to move on to another one.

32. What am I allowed to bring.....can I bring lipgloss?

33. Calls mom again "What are the rules about bringing liquids on a plane?"

34. Good thing I just bought candy at Target, I can put it in my carry on.

35. Looks in mirror for 20 minutes trying to make sure the carry on, the suit case and the purse I chose all match. If they don't that could be real embarrassing.

36. Well now that I know I match I have to find a wallet to match everything.

37. MORE DECISIONS!!

38. Sits on floor to admire all the pretty things I own.

39. OH! I didn't even see this shirt, maybe I should have packed that too.

40. I bet I can roll it up and find room for it.

41. WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR ON THE PLANE????

42. Have to make sure it matches my carry on ;)

43. Takes a break to snap chat the progress I have made.

44. WHERE IS THE PLANE EMOJI?

45. I finally think I am done packing! Lets go travel!

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.
