Do you ever feel like as much as you try nothing goes your way? You work so hard to get a certain outcome yet for some reason things just don't go the way you intended. Yes you have tried staying positive, because that is your attitude anyways, but this time around you just can't anymore. You feel like nothing is working out in your favor and you just want to give up. We've all been there, matter of fact, I am there right now. The amount of things I can name that go along with this is too long. So if it helps I'm in the same boat.

You are at the lowest of ways right now and you don't know what else to do. You feel like you have the worst luck ever, you've been done wrong one too many times, and school is taking over your brain. But think about this, think about others that may have it way worse. It puts everything into perspective and will really make you appreciate what you do have, I promise you that.

Yes, you haven't slept in days, but someone out there fall asleep on the ground every night.

Yes, you are stressed about your grades on your finals, but someone didn't even get the opportunity to come to college like you.

Yes, you have been hurt over and over again by people, but someone out there has lost their loved ones.

Yes, the cold you had last week sucked and you felt miserable for days, but children are in hospitals dealing with much worse right now.

You may be getting sick of the food you always eat, but someone hasn't had an actual meal in a long time.

Yes, driving hours home is a bit inconvenient, but some people don't have to means to afford a car and they have to walk everywhere instead.

So all in all, yes you have it bad right now, but others have it way worse. So if you ever feel like nothing ever goes your way, think of others. Don't take what you do have for granted. You are blessed and although right this moment your life is hard, there are plenty lives that are harder.

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.
