How To Turn A Good Day Into A Great One
Ben Kerckx

Ever wondered how to make your day better? Ever considered that you do not have to make drastic changes to achieve that goal? Here are some of the ways I pull transform good days (and even bad ones) into great days.

1. Wake up earlier.

Seize the day and get up half an hour earlier than you usually do. As someone who gets up at the crack of dawn every morning, I'll be the first to admit that while it's hard at first, making use of the whole day can help increase your productivity and regulate your schedule.

2. Eat a treat.

Do not deprive yourself of life's simple pleasures. Anything in moderation.

3. Make a to-do list.

It will help you stay on track, not get overwhelmed, and not feel guilty about incorporating free time into your day.

4. Find something positive in every complaint.

It is easy to complain and critique, but it everything really as bad as we make it out to be?

5. Do something new every day.

The same-old, same-old can get pretty...old. If you never try new things, you will never know what you are missing. Eat a new food, talk to a new person and learn something new.

6. Find something to look forward to each day, and if you can't find anything, make something.

Life is as exciting as you make it.

7. Text or call someone you have not talked to in a while.

You never know what someone else could be going through, and you especially will not know if you never talk to them.

8. Do something healthy.

Be active, eat a balanced meal, exercise your brain. Your body will thank you for 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.
