5 Ways You Can Be Unbreakable
Kameron Hurley

Adulting is hard. We have so much on our plates that we can barely see what lies in front of us. It is during these times that we might forget what it is like to not be stressed and that's when we let our lives break us down. Here are five words of advice from the unbreakable woman, Kimmy Schmidt, to help you out when life becomes a little too much.

1. Slow down.

Don't think about everything that you have to do within the next three weeks. Just keep moving and take it ten seconds at a time. Trust me, being in the present and taking things in one at a time helps reduce a lot of unnecessary stress.

2. Stay optimistic.

My family has a saying (that I think we stole from Jimmy Buffett): "Attitude is Latitude." If we are positive, then our metaphorical life plane will continue to soar without many problems. But if we let stress and emotion cloud our judgement and become more pessimistic, then we are likely to crash. So just keep Kimmying.

3. Listen to your gut.

Both literally and metaphorically. If you are in need of a food break, then let yourself go and get that food. Also, if you feel like you shouldn't do something or that you should then maybe you should listen to your body and then go from there in a way that makes you feel comfortable.

4. Be confident, even if you just look it.


If you look confident about something, then others (yourself included) may start to believe that what you are doing is good. If you think that your work is absolute garbage all the time, you really aren't going to be happy about it whether or not it is actually good.

5. Don't let life keep you down.



Embrace who you are and what you do and just keep going. Because life gets hard, but it doesn't stop. So why should you?

Now get back out there and be unbreakable!

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.
