Sometimes you just feel out of the loop, and that's OK.

1. You may have at one point heard Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," and when referencing it later to a friend called it "that new really cool dubstep song."

2. If you've ever played a game of Heads Up with people you didn't really know, you may have come close to a mental breakdown in the midst of the "movies" category. Skip. Skip... "The actress from the "Devil Wears Prada!" You got this!" *Remember the part where the girl eats a cube of cheese to keep from fainting but not the names of any actresses.*

3. You tune out whenever your friends discuss "The Bachelor" or "The Kardashians." You probably still haven't finished the one Netflix series you started three years ago.

4. You don't own a TV in college, and the only time you sneak in your roommate's room to use their's is to occasionally watch the news, a presidential debate, or the last five minutes of your school's sporting event.


5. You have probably never made a Snapchat story, and the thought of making one is both confusing and unappealing.

6. You probably hold onto your cell phone until long after your contract has expired without thinking much of it.

7. You didn't find the flashlight or do-not-disturb features of your iPhone until one of your friends showed them to you.

8. The worst question in the world is, "What kinds of music do you like?" *tries desperately to remember one cool band's name and only remembers The Backstreet Boys*

9. You deleted Twitter and YikYak from your phone because they were such time-suckers, and you were always too freaked out to post anyways. But, once I post....It's like out, you know, out there, forever, right?

10. You were utterly shocked the first time your friends showed you illegally downloaded movies and music. What about itunes and Amazon video...?

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.
