As we grow up, we start to miss some of the easiest years of our lives. Before we really enter adulthood we miss when everything was so simple and our only concern throughout the day was what we were going to have for snack. Being in elementary school included a lot of great memories, so here are a few things that will make you want to go back in time.

1. Field Trips

Even though elementary field trips were nothing like Miss Frizzle's field trips, they were still the best part of any school year. Going on field trips meant that you got to sit with whoever you wanted and get a whole day out of school.

2. Start Student



Being star student of the week meant that you got some special treatment all week long just because you were doing everything right in the class room.


3. Line Leaders


Being a line leader meant that you have the most responsibility in the classroom besides the teacher. You have to make sure everyone is in line for any time the class got to leave the classroom.

4. Celebrating Birthday's In Class


Celebrating your birthday in class meant that all attention was on you and you got to have whatever sweets you wanted.

5. Recess



Recess was the best time of day because you got to see everyone at the same time and you got to play all different games. Monkey bars, hop-scotch, swings, jump rope, tag, kickball, bubbles, handball and slides were some of the best games played during recess.


6. Chicken Nugget Day


Chicken nugget day was one of the best days to buy school lunch. You knew that every Wednesday was chicken nugget day and this meant that everyone at school would be buying lunch that day.

7. Field Day

Field day was the funnest day of the year! This meant that you got to play against other classes in events like tug-a-war, 3-legged race, and egg tosses for the award at the end of the day.

8. Crafts


Thinking back to elementary school, you start to miss that doing crafts in class wouldn't be acceptable anymore unless you are in art class. Doing crafts in class meant that your parents would add another piece of artwork to their collection that they have started.

9. 100th Day Of School


Celebrating the 100th day of school meant that you got to make so many different crafts and activities that all had a 100 different things.

10. Reading buddies

A reading buddy was someone who was in a grade older than you and helped you learn how to read better, and having a reading buddy mean that you had a friend who could help you get through the years.

Try to sit back and enjoy what memories you made while still being a child with no worries.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
