Nine Things To Make You Feel Like A Child Again

Think back to good, old days, when nothing else mattered besides your happiness, when laughter came easier than breathing, and you could eat whatever you wanted without having to worry about putting on few extra pounds. Think back to  your childhood. What would you do to put that carefree attitide back in your life? What can you do to get that feeling back?     

1. Let it all out. Whether it is shoving your face into a pillow so no one can hear you, or having the balls to do it in public, just scream. Why? Because there is always something in your life worth screaming about. It’s okay to be immature every now and then.  


2. Go play in the rain, jump in a puddle. 
When was the last time you looked up into the sky, threw your arms out, and let the rain hit you where it wants. Just let it happen, and laugh;  laugh until you have given yourself an abs workout and are completely drenched.    


3. When it is not raining, still go outside. Throw a football, a Frisbee, a baseball, a rock! Just go throw something around. If you really want to feel like a child, play a game of tag because when was the last time you did that?   


4. Go big or go home with the holidays. Halloween -- carve a cheesy pumpkin, wear a costume, and go trick-or-treating. Christmas -- decorate the Christmas tree, bake a gingerbread house, and leave milk and cookies out  for Santa. New Year's eve -- go overboard on the confetti poppers. ‘Tis the season, everybody!  


5. Go pool hopping. Hop from pool to pool and play some sharks and minnows, or Marco Polo. Have a chicken fight or a cannon ball contest. Even splash the girls who won’t get their hair wet. 


6. Disney Channel. That’s So Raven, The Proud Family, Kim Possible, or Lizzie McGuire -- you know you used to love them, and probably still do. Relive Disney Channel’s glory days.     


7. Find an ice cream truck. Listen for the cheesy music, chase down that truck, and purchase a SpongeBob popsicle. You’re welcome.    


8. Board games still exist. See if you still lack the patience to finish a whole game of Monopoly or still get pissed off when someone sends you “Home” during a game of Sorry. 


9. RIP board games? Break out the old Dance, Dance Revolution or Mario Kart, and see if you've still got game.

Don't be that person who needs to drink to have fun. It is okay to act like a child every now and then. You deserve it.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.
