Amazon is a revolutionary company that has truly changed the world. The fact that they sell virtually everything you can possibly think of is truly incredible but so is their "Prime" subscription. Many competitors like Walmart have bashed Amazon Prime by bragging that they provide "free" two-day shipping without a pricey subscription. However, Amazon Prime is SO much more than just free shipping, it is truly a lifestyle that its subscribers embrace for these eight reasons:

1. Free, reliable two-day shipping

The most obvious benefit is the free two-day shipping on thousands of common items sold on Amazon. This is the service on my Prime subscription that I use the most often and it has never failed me. I order something and it arrives at my door two days later. I've even gotten Sunday deliveries for no additional cost. This service really comes in handy when you need something ASAP or when you're in a pinch. When you need a textbook ASAP or some new running shorts for a last-minute charity walk you signed up for, you'll be beyond thankful that you have Amazon Prime. This benefit alone pays for your subscription if you order something on Amazon just once a month.

2. Whole Foods discounts

The newest benefit of being a Prime member is the discounts at Whole Foods. Prime members now save an additional 10% on ALL sale items and get exclusive deals on certain items in the store. I took advantage of this already and saved money on my last Whole Foods purchase with a Prime member deal on some crackers and I saved another couple of dollars on the already discounted sale items I purchased. This is a fantastic new benefit!

3. Free Prime Video

Amazon

Many people do not realize that a Prime membership comes with a free subscription to a Netflix-like streaming service. Thousands and movies and TV shows are on Amazon Prime Video and it is a great resource when Netflix does not have that movie you're looking for.

4. Free Prime Music

Amazon

Also with your Amazon Prime subscription, you can stream over 2 million songs, playlists, and stations for free. This can really help you save money on things like Spotify or Apple Music.

5. Free Prime Photos

Amazon

Why pay for additional iCloud storage when you can store your photos for free under your Prime subscription? Prime Photos gives Prime members free, unlimited photo storage for themselves and up to 5 other people. Finding photos is also easy with their advanced search tools as well.

6. Prime Pantry

Amazon

Prime Pantry is really cool. You can get everyday products delivered right to your door without the annoying trip to the grocery store/Target/Walmart. They carry tons of personal care products, cleaning products, household products, etc. at extremely competitive prices that are usually better than what you're paying in store. Not having to lug heavy laundry detergent and huge bundles of paper towels around on a ninety-degree day is a nice benefit too. There are even digital coupons right on the site that you can apply to your order.

If you are dreading a large shopping trip and want to avoid the crowds, crappy weather, and save some money, then this is a great option. They even have some products a lot of stores do not carry (like a certain kind of K-Cups I can no longer find anywhere else). Now that's convenience.

7. Free Audible Channels

If you enjoy things like Podcasts and audiobooks, then you'll enjoy this benefit of Amazon Prime. Audible provides unlimited listening to original audio series and playlists for many different topics.

8. Prime Day

Amazon

Amazon Prime Day is truly Amazon's version of Black Friday in July. There are some amazing, exclusive deals that will save you a ton of money.

In addition to these great benefits, there are many other little perks that come with being a Prime member. Best of all, if you're a student, you get a deep discount on Amazon Prime which makes it an even greater value! So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for your free trial of Amazon Prime today and fall in love with this service!

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.
