The following eleven women I have written about have personally inspired me over the past few months to share my passion and to follow my dreams.

1. Elle Luna

Artist

She is an artist, designer and author with the most beautiful soul. Her book, The Crossroads Of Should And Must is something I highly recommend reading.

Check her out on Tumblr http://elleluna.com

Or listen to her Do Lecture called The Importance Of Doing What You Love. It made me cry!

2. Rupi Kaur

Spoken Word Artist

Her spoken word is everything. Her strength and passion is clear to see in her work.

3. Elizabeth Gilbert

Author

Writer of Eat Pray Love and her latest book Big Magic- another must read. She actively pursues her dreams and is 1000% living in her truth. Her work is empowering.

4. Jolene Hart

Nutritionist

Author of Eat Pretty. This book is life changing. It helped me change the way I eat.

5. Esperanza Spalding

Jazz Artist

One of my favorite jazz artists of all time. Her latest work Emily's D+ Evolution is riveting. She is a goddess!

6. Sara Barellies

Singer, Songwriter

She has always been one of my favorite singer songwriters but her work for Waitress The Musical is out of this world. I can't stop listening!

7. Tara Stiles

Yoga Instrutor/Author

She is the founder of Strala Yoga, a revolutionary approach to healing movement and is the author of Make Your Own Rules Diet and Cookbook!

8. Aviva Romm MD

Herbalist

She is "the face of natural medicine of the 21st century". I have been fascinated with herbal medicine and ways to heal one's body and mind naturally. I found her work and was inspired.

9. Ella Grace Denton

Blogger

She continues to inspire me with her blog We Need To Live More. She is passionate about women empowerment, health, traveling, veganism, all-natural healing and lifestyle.

10. Adriene Mishler

Yoga Instrutor

She has a popular YouTube channel, Yoga with Adriene, that I simply adore. Her videos inspire me to continue my yoga practice and to live a life full of love and joy.

11. Emma Watson

Actress/Activist

She is such an inspiration. Most recently she went to the Met Gala with a dress that was made of sustainable materials. Emma's work for HeforShe on gender equality is beautiful.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
