15 Things Calvin And Hobbes Said Best
Bill Watterson

Growing up, my sister and I spent hours and hours pouring over Calvin and Hobbes comic books. The mischievous, precocious and witty six-year old boy Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes poke fun at the world through humorous antics. Calvin and Hobbes embrace every day as a new adventure just waiting for them to discover. Calvin has a vivid imagination that transports him and his readers from living snow goons in his year to Spaceman Spiff flying through different galaxies.

What has made "Calvin and Hobbes" comics so widely successful is how relatable Calvin is. He has no problem saying what we are all thinking. He embraces who he is, even when it seems as though everyone around him doesn't appreciate him. "Calvin and Hobbes" humorously takes a stab at moral philosophy through the eyes of a wise-for-his-age kid. Calvin seeks to make the most out of life, which is something that we should all seek to do.

Sometimes, Calvin's words are some of the wisest words for a given situation. Sometimes, a six-year-old says it best!

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.
