You won't regret it.

Why You Should Always Visit Your Grandparents

1. They will spoil you rotten.

2. Tons of food will be had (and dessert).

Even if you aren't hungry, you will be now.

3. They are wise and give great advice.

Sometimes it's not always the best advice you've ever received, but hey, they tried because they love you to pieces.

4. Anything you want, they will get for you (no questions asked).

You want a Milkshake from McDonald's with your lunch? Grandpa will go and get you one since this means making his little girl happy.

5. They are so very proud of you and want to brag or "show you off" to their friends.

This makes you feel so worthy and loved.

6. You never know when that visit could be your last.

The most important of all the reasons to visit ^^^^^^

7. The time that time you share together is valued more than you think.

You may not be able to buy them expensive things, but because you spend your time talking to them, they are super happy.

8. Free antiques/real vintage clothing.

If you're into any of those things, it's really cool and they might also just give it to you if you show enough interest!

9. You get to laugh.

Yeah, Grandma is losing her hearing and Grandpa can't remember what he had to eat for breakfast. They both can't use their TV or computers without yelling at the damn thing. You can't help but laugh. But you also understand that you should keep it to a minimum because that will be you someday.

10. You're always more than welcomed.

They wouldn't care if you stayed at their house for weeks. They think you're the coolest and prettiest human to ever walk this earth.

11. Cash will be given and received ;)

You are usually just receiving the cash which is pretty nice (especially when you're broke).

12. They will tell you stories about their lives.

Usually, you've already heard this story a few times already, but a refresher or a nice spin in it is always nice too.

13. You get to learn about your great great grandparents and get to gossip about cousins.

You want to learn about your family? Just go right to the source.

14. You never know when that could be the last visit, so be thankful!

15. And did I mention the hugs & kisses you'll also receive? Priceless.

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.
