This is an awesome J.K Rowling quote, because who doesn't love J.K Rowling? I think this quote means life begins at the end of your comfort zone (as my dad always told me) and that you can do really anything you set your mind to, but sometimes you gotta be willing to give something a little more that effort.

11 Life Hacks You

Need In Your Life!

1. If you don't feel like doing the dishes one day, this hack is for you! For this one all you'll need is some plastic wrap or wax paper. Take your choice of lining, and put it over the plate or bowl. If you're using thin plastic wrap, then I suggest using multiple layers. But with wax paper you may only need one. When you're done with your food, peel off the lining and throw it away. You'll be left with a clean dish that you can put right back in the cupboard!
2. If you want to take a hands free picture, plug your earbuds into your phone or device, and press the volume up or down button on the earbud cord, and there you go! A DIY selfie stick!
3. Have you ever felt these two feelings at the same time? I'm so hungry! and, there is absolutely NOTHING to eat! Here's a hack to temporarily fix hunger. Grab a big glass, and fill it up with ice cold water. Then, drink as much of the water as you possible can. You should feel the hunger go down for a while.
4. Did you know that you can make a grilled cheese with a clothing iron? Well you can! Sandwich the cheese in between two pieces of bread, and iron until it melts! So easy, so yummy!
5. Do you love Summer snacks like popsicles, but hate when they melt and drip all over your hand? Here's a hack to fix that! You know those paper cupcake liners you put the batter in when you're making cupcakes? Take one, and poke it through the bottom of the popsicle stick and slide it right under the popsicle. Now the melted popsicle juice will pool their instead of on your hand!
6. Here's another Summer treat hack. You know that sticky feeling then the ice cream is dripping out the bottom of your cone? Next time you make an ice cream cone, stuff a marshmallow inside the bottom of the  cone and then scoop the ice cream in. You can eat the marshmallow at the end too!
7. After working with garlic or onion, there can be an awful smell left on your hands. To get rid of that smell, rinse your hands with water, them take a lemon slice, and use it like a bar of soap, rubbing it all over your hands. Then rinse with water again, dry your hands and the smell will be gone!
8. An easy way to get juice from a citrus fruit like an orange or a lemon, is to take the top off of an old spray bottle, and cut that thin long tube so it's short enough. Then, poke a hole in the bottom of your fruit and stick the sprayer in. There you have it! A unique and efficient juice sprayer!
9. If you're cooking with only the whites of the egg, you can use an old empty water bottle to get the yolk out clean. Squeeze the water bottle and put it on the yolk. Release your grip and the yolk will slip up into the bottle. 
10. Love eating strawberries but those stems getting in the way? Here's an easy way to take off those stems! Use the straw and stick it through the bottom of the strawberry and push it up into the berry. Keep pushing and the green leafy top will pop off. There you go! Easy stemless strawberries!
11. Isn't it annoying when you can't find the end of the tape? Let's hack that! Take a small paperclip and stick it to the sticky part of the end of the tape. Now you'll never have to struggle with finding the end of the tape again!

Book Recommendations!

 Books I Love That You Should Read!

• Flora & Ulysses | My all time favorite book! It's the most adorable book. It has also easy to read as it has lots of pictures, short chapters and large text. 
• The 14th Goldfish | If you love science fiction, this is the book for you. It's about a girl who's grandfather is a scientist, and he invents an anti-aging formula.
• Harry Potter Series | This one's an original! I never wanted to read them until I started reading them. Part of me feels like you haven't fully lived until you've read al of the Harry Potter books. Just make sure you read them in order!
• Hunger Games Series | These books are so well written and I would recommend them to anyone over 10 years old. They are just sooo addicting to read!
• When You Reach Me | This book tells such an amazing story and it's so well written. There isn't exactly one main story being told in this book, and it can be a bit hard to understand at first, but I still LOVE it!

Words To Live By

What does this quote mean to me? In my opinion, being yourself is one of the most important things in the world. If you want to be the same as everybody else, then you won't be known for anything special. If you are yourself, and you are unique and different from everybody else, people recognize you for being yourself. 

Why Do I Write?

Since I was in first grade, I've always had a passion for expressing myself through writing. With writing, you can do so many things that you can't do in real life. Like discovering yourself. When you write, you pour out your thoughts and imagination into your journal. When you write fiction, you can create whole new worlds and places, and people to put in them. When you free write, you can be in your own zone, and no one can tell you what to do. So why do I write? I write because it's a chance for me and my imagination to bond and discover each other. I write because I'm creating a special place for me and my imagination to be ourselves and no one can tell us what to do. I write because it's a way for me to relax, and set my mind free. That, is why I write.
