10 Reasons Having A Unique Name Is A Good Thing

If you have a name that's different, you know what it's like when you can't find your name on any souvenir in the gift shop, or that dreadful first day of classes. Although it may seem like your parents cursed you for their own amusement, having a name that you can call your own is always a good thing. Even though pronunciations can get ugly sometimes, it makes you who you are.

1. People will remember you.


When you are the only one with your name, people have no other choice but to remember it. Let's just hope you left good impression

2. People will feel obligated to compliment you on your name.


It's OK if it's not genuine, we don't mind.

3. You will always have an easier time finding unused usernames on social media.


The odds are always in your favor when trying to create a username, but that doesn't mean you still can't get creative

4. If you ever want to go down in history for something good (or bad), no one will forget your name.

Not sure if this is a good thing, actually.

5. You will always have funny stories to share about your name.


We all have those interesting Starbucks stories.

6. When you meet someone else with your name, you are automatically friends.

There is a weird special bond that comes with someone else who shares your name, even though it will always be your name.

7. With a unique name, it will be harder for people to steal your identity.

Just thinking about the practical things in life.

8. People may not know if you’re a girl or boy.

It is never a bad thing to have some mystery attached to your name.

9. You will become your name.


When you are the only one with your name, people will start to use it as an verb. Oh, and it can and will be used against you.

10. You are automatically cooler.

And no one can tell you otherwise.

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.
