If you are reading this, it means that you are feeling complacent. You are feeling stuck in the same bland routine and you see no way out. I know, I've been there. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Here are a few tips for changing things up!

1. Change something about your routine!

If you are constantly walking or driving past the same scenery, change it up. Take a different way to wherever you are going. It'll be something new to experience, and maybe you will find something worthwhile on this new path.

2. Bring someone along on your commute!

This one might be more difficult, but if you know people who are going to the same places as you try inviting them to accompany you. Having someone to chat with and to get to know could spark a new friendship in your life!

3. Change your wardrobe!

It sounds drastic, I know! If you wear virtually the same thing every day, or rotate the same five outfits, change it up! Buy something daring and bask in the compliments that you will receive!

4. Change your hair!

This one is my favorite! Whenever I am feeling complacent I like to pay a visit to my favorite stylist and change it up! You don't have to do anything drastic, or you could! Get highlights! Get that hair color you have been obsessing over on pinterest! Just do it! You will feel like a new person and you will love the attention that it will bring!

5. Body modification!

Get a tattoo! Get a piercing! Do something that will cause the adrenaline in your body to surge!

6. Get the heck out of dodge!

You heard me! Get away! Take a vacation, even if it is just a day trip, and get the heck out of town! Visit a new place! Smile at strangers! Drive with the music turned all the way up and stop at every cute place along the way! You will be amazed at how much you can find along the way, you might even find yourself!

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.
