Our world is forever changing, there are good days and there are also bad. At times the world may seem like there is more bad than good. Especially with all the terror attacks, the uncertainty with the upcoming election and the race war that seems to be brewing within our country. But it is up to our self to rediscover it, here are a few tips on things to do when the world feels like its filled with hate.

1. Take a break from watching the news.

The news can be pretty depressing, it seems as if every time you watch the news something awful is happening somewhere in the world. So take a break, watch something you actually enjoy like that series you've been binge watching for the past two months.

2. Disconnect from social media.

Try to disconnect from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for at least two hours a day. This allows yourself to enjoy your surroundings and recharge from all the gossip and drama on social media.

3. Listen to your favorite album.

Music has been proven to improve people's moods. So plug in your headphones or turn your speakers up and pull out your favorite Brittany Spear's album, sip some Lemonade while you listen to Beyonce, enjoy the view from the six while you vibe to Drake or whatever is your favorite album and jam out!

4. Watch a sunrise or sunset.

Take the time to enjoy nature's art, I promise you no two sunrise or sunset is exactly the same.

5. Give back.

You don't have to have a lot of money to make an impact. Here are three simple ways you can give back: 1. The next time you clean your closet, take out anything you haven't worn in the last six months and donate it to charity. 2. Buy a bouquet of flowers and give one to everyone you pass on the street. 3. The next time your in line at Starbucks pay for the person behind you.

6. Do something you love.

This last tip is self explanatory, do what you love if you like Roller skating, playing sports, catching Pokemon, taking selfies, dancing or just spending time with the ones you love, do it!

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.
