I remember watching Mulan for the very first time when I was just a small, unwoke child. Here I was just sitting there minding my own business when my mom pops in Disney's Mulan on VHS into my TV. Let me tell you, my entire world changed that day. Mulan was heroic, defied the odds, and was so down to Earth and funny. If you have not seen this movie (I am looking at all of you men intimidated by Disney princesses), I highly recommend going onto the nearest Netflix account and watching. I must have watched and rewinded that VHS tape about 100 times. Everything about this movie is fantastic: the characters, the soundtrack and the art. Here are ten gifs from Mulan that can relate to you in everyday life:


1. Mulan taught me that it is okay to make a mess every once in a while:


2. And that it's not the end of the world if things don't go as planned:



3. Mulan showed me that if you put your mind to it, you can be one of the greats:



4. It's also okay to be imperfect:



5. Mulan taught me the value of friendship:



6. And to be true to yourself:



7. If you put your mind on something, you can accomplish anything:



8. Sometimes, it is alright to fake it 'till you make it:



9. Mulan taught me that women too can fight and be strong:



10. Most importantly, the flower that blooms last is the most beautiful of all:

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.
