We are constantly thinking of ways in which we could better ourselves. We think and think but we never really do. Here are some things you can follow to better yourself overall.

1. Read everyday


Although college students do this on a daily basis it's always good to pick up a book of your liking.

2. Learn a new language


You may be monolingual or bilingual. Either way, it's always fun to pick up another language even though it's just the basics.

3. Get out of your comfort zone


Whether it's talking to a stranger or speaking up during class, be courageous every day and watch how much you grow as a person.

4. Mediate


We all need to relax sometimes and forget about all our problems and I have learned that meditating works wonders. Start with 5 minutes a day and continue progressing more and more. You will feel the difference!

5. Avoid negative people


The less negative people in your life the better! Surround yourself with positive people those who support you and motivate you every step of the way!

6. Let go of the past


Letting go isn't easy. At some point in our life letting go of the past is the best option. Is it the easiest? No. But we need to move on with our life and focus on our future.

7. Learn from your friends


We all have different experiences and face different struggles and who better to learn from or ask for advice other than your friends?

8. Overcome your fears


We are all afraid of something and little by little we should overcome our fears.

9. Wake Up early


Start your day when the sun comes up! You will feel a lot better and get a lot more done during the day if you do so! Also, it beats waking up in the late afternoon because you miss all the sunshine.

10. Start a journal


Memories are good why not write them down? Write down your favorite thing, not so favorite things, and things you want to do again.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
