How To Be a Tough Cookie

1) Learn how to say NO

In any situation, whether you do not like the way your nails turned out or you want someone to leave you alone. Gather up your britches and have the courage to say enough is enough.

2) Walk the Walk

Pick your head up when you walk, straighten that posture and walk as if you are strutting Louis Vuitton heels on and as if you are ready to conquer the world.

3) Challenge Yourself

Run that 5K. Wear that outfit you feel insecure in. Take 18 credit hours. Do any task that challenges you for the better.

4) Don't always live life on the safe side

Go somewhere you have never been, go up to the guy or girl you have been trying to talk to for months, heck even go skydiving. You can surprise yourself with the strength you have.

5) Tell EVERYONE like it is

Never be afraid to be honest, there are times to sit back and be silent but there are other times to stand up for yourself. If they crossed the line, they crossed the line. Remember. You are a tough a cookie.

6) Don't Take No for an answer

If someone says you are not good enough to do it, accomplish that task ten times in a row.

7) Dream Big

The more you believe you are capable of everything, the more it actually becomes reality.

8) Treat Yo'self

Give yourself time to treat the royalty inside you. Take a nap, get a facial, whatever floats your boat.

9) Become Who You Want to Be

If you see anything wrong with yourself, dig deep and fix it. Don't wake up in the morning and wish something was different. If it's wanting to be further educated go do it, if it's wanting to learn a new language, whatever the case; get on board because you never know when your last day will be.

10) Try Something New

You know that food everyone is afraid to try? Or roller coaster no one will ride? You do it, because you as a person will grow from this and it will shine outwards that you are a tough cookie that is not afraid to try anything new.

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.
