11 Reasons Why I Love Being Tan

There is nothing better than the warm, crisp feeling I get after a sunny day spent on my beach towel with a good book and cold drink. I know it was a good beach day when I walk back to my house and there is sand in my toes and sunburn on my nose. In this case, I know the rest of my body received just enough sun to make me a shade darker than before. I love being tan. The warm brown or rich walnut color my skin gets puts a smile on my face like no other colors in the world. Being tan reminds me of my favorite place in the world, the beach. So, when my skin looks like it just walked off the tropical shores of Puerto Rico or Barbados, I cannot prevent my cheerful and joyful mood from shining through. But besides the wonderful feeling I get, here are a few more reasons I love being tan!

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.
