When You Feel Like Giving Up

When You Feel Like Giving Up

We’ve all been there. Life is hard; there is no denying it. Whether it's school, work, parents, relationships, friends, or sorority there always seems to be something. You tell your “person” you can’t do it anymore, or that you’re losing your mind. If you haven’t been in college more than a year, or in the real world, and haven’t said it at least once to yourself, I assume you have rainbows coming out of your bottom.

It’s okay to feel like you want to give up, move to Disney World and be Cinderella your entire life. Until you face the real world with strength and agility, you are hiding behind yourself. Fill your head with positive vibes. Don’t let the feeling of being overwhelmed, stressed, or sad bring you into a place that is so hard to get out of. Turn to someone -- whether it is God, your best friend, your roommate, your parents, even a counselor -- you need someone.

Don’t go through that feeling of giving up alone. Your life has purpose. Your life has meaning. The stress you feel now, the emotions, the anger -- it will go away. Don’t give up on yourself. A positive mind and a positive soul will go a long way, and it is amazing how much your life can change by deciding to throw out the negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Don’t give up, even when it’s the only feeling you have. Fight through 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.

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.
