I'm sure that countless things are running through your head as you begin the next school year, knowing that is the last before your next step in life. It can get overwhelming, especially with all that you will have to do if you plan to head to college. Here are a few things to help you out throughout the year.

1. Take pictures

This year will be a lot of last firsts for you, and with that being said, make sure to capture each moment. This year will be your last homecoming, your last prom, and your last football game... So many doors are closing for you, but this also means that many are opening. You will want to reminisce about these times later on, so just take the picture. Don't get embarrassed.

2. Show school spirit

Attend your home games this year and cheer on your sports teams. Go to marching band competitions to show your fellow peers that you support them. It's always nice to feel that people are in your corner, cheering you on while you do something you love.

3. Take the trip

Take a spontaneous road trip with your friends. Get in the car and drive anywhere, even if it's to Krispy Kreme for the hot light. Sit on your football field during the night and spend time together, drive to an overlook and take pictures, or go to sit alongside the river talking about anything and everything. Just spend the moment together.

4. Be open to new experiences

Even if you're not sure that you'll like it, try new things with your friends. It'll help you become open-minded and you may end up finding a new hobby, making new friends, and just making great memories.

5. Be grateful

Be thankful for the times you have this year. You'll want to wish them away and you'll want them to be over, but they will be some of the greatest times you'll ever have. Make them count.

Good luck in your upcoming year.

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.
