After feeling pretty bored recently, as I tend to at the start of new semesters, I found myself turning to my Snapchat friends to learn about the best ways to spice things up a little bit! Here's what they have to say.

1. "Do something outrageous you wouldn't normally do."

This could look like talking to someone unexpected, experimenting with new foods, or even joining a new club!

2. "Go on spontaneous adventures, big or small."

3. "Go somewhere you have never been!"

This could be a drive with no destination or walking to a new spot in town you haven't seen.

4. "Talk to a person for fun."

This ties into some of the other ideas here, but talking to someone you wouldn't normally just to get out of your comfort zone or freshen things up is a great way to spice things up, be bold, and get to know someone new!

5. "Piercings, go on a trip, treat yourself day, buying a new outfit"

Spicing up your life can totally look like treating yourself or finding something to do that makes you happy but you don't have tons of opportunities to do.

6. "Start a new hobby."

I love this idea; I have been meaning to learn how to embroider!

7. "Change your hair."

As someone who recently did this, it does certainly spice things up. 10/10 would recommend.

8. "Say random sh*t to people."

You have to be a certain type of bold for this one, but hey, if you're never going to see them again...

9. "Romanticize everything."

This might be my favorite one on the list. Main character energy always.

10. "Dance across the sidewalk."

11. "Listen to at least one new song every day."

12. "Instead of getting upset when bad things happen, just laugh. It really keeps people on their toes."

I have actually been laughing at the minor inconveniences I am coming across and it is making a huge difference in my mental health.

13. "Do one thing a day that scares you."

14. Go somewhere after midnight.

Please be safe

15. "Saying hi to any stranger you make eye contact with."

16. "Start lying to strangers."

This might not be the most morally sound advice, but it could be fun!

17. "Listen to 'Reputation' by Taylor Swift while you walk and you'll start strutting involuntarily."

18. "Buy a box of Capri Suns and relive your childhood."

19. "Buy a razor scooter."

20. Do something that makes you happy but that you don't let yourself do often!!

This is my own suggestion, but if you love Starbucks and only let yourself go on special occasions, make this a special occasion! Buy ice cream on a Wednesday. Life is short — stop waiting for happiness.

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.
