Ear Candy!

If you're looking for some good music and don't want to have to download anything or keep clicking on links over and over then look no further! I have something for you! Quite awhile ago I started using this website called 8tracks, I stumbled upon it and now I use it every day. Basically it's a website where you type in a key word, like: upbeat, sad, study, dance, indie, ska, love, etc etc, Basically, ANY word that you think is going to bring you a playlist you'll enjoy. You have endless options with this website, no matter what mood you're in you can find music that suits it, and you don't have to pick your brain about what artist/band/song you want to listen to. It's like having a soundtrack to your life! (We all want that, am I right?) Anyways, check it out, there are some links below to a few of my favourite playlists. Enjoy :)

A Dozen Life Lessons.

Here are some lessons I have learned throughout my life.

1. Do not live to please other people, real happiness is making yourself happy. 

2. You are the only one who can achieve anything in your life. If you get things handed to you on a silver platter and one day it stops (which it inevitably will) you have no drive and you fail. 

3. Have a back bone. Do not be a doormat, ever. 

4. Do not live up to other people's expectations regardless of who they are, live up to your own.

5. Everyone has a different idea of what the word "successful" means. Live by your definition. 

6. Let any negativity bounce off you. You actually can force yourself to be an optimist, or better, an opportunist. 

7. Do not rely on anyone, ever. Independence is the first step towards being a strong person. 

8. Learn from every mistake regardless of whether it was your own or a complete stranger. 

9. Visualize where you want to be in the future, create personal goals, and work your ass off to achieve them. 

10. Life is easier when you choose logic over emotions. 

11. Observe everything. You learn a lot about people when you just sit back and observe rather than jumping in and being involved. 

12. Don't rush through life, you will have lots of time to settle down. Experience life while you're still young and able to.
