6 Things To Be Thankful For On Mondays
google

"Is it Friday yet?" "I can't believe it is only Monday!" As much as we want to deny it, we are all guilty of catching ourselves with a case of the Monday Blues. I, for one, know for a fact that I have caught myself saying both of these phrases at least once if not more every other week. What I want to know is why? Why are we dreading Mondays when there are so many different amazing things that we can be thankful for? I challenge you to block out those Monday Blues and get out there and find something(s) to be thankful for.

1. Hey! You woke up today!

It truly is the little things that matter! Waking up every morning is reason enough to try and make the day the best it can be.

2. Family

Whether it is by blood or the friends that you have met at school who have turned into your family. They always help you feel like you're at home no matter where you may be.

3. Professors

Although we may not always agree with what they have to say. They are the ones that can help us learn and truly care about our success!

4. Starbucks

Because what is a Monday with out your favorite frappe?

5. Netflix

After the long first day of your week, what is better than laying in bed watching your favorite episode of "One Tree Hill" or "Grey's Anatomy"?!

6. Only 3 more Mondays until summer!

Being tan, care free, and adventurous is just around the corner!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
