10 Reasons Why the South Is the Best Place to Live

1. Southerners are the friendliest people around.
Born and raised to say yes ma'am and yes sir, people down in the South have the best manners around. Needless to say we were raised right. 


2. The tea is always sweet.
If you drink unsweet tea down here, people will actually question if you are even human. Sweet Tea is the preferred drink of choice, as it should be. 



3. We have the best food in the world.
Fried Chicken. Collards. Green Beans. Biscuits. Enough said.


4. Sports are our specialty.
Sports in the South are an experience unlike any other. College football is king and has the best tailgating in the nation. While the Braves, Panthers and the Spurs aren't too shabby either. 


5. Saying y'all is perfectly expectable.
You all? Who even says that?


6.We have the most beautiful college campuses in the world.
The South is known for having some the most breathtaking college campuses. No wonder why so many Northerners want to come down to the South for college. 


7. Our sense of fashion is top notch.
If we don't know how to do anything else, us Southerners know how to dress. Southern Tide, Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines are our favorites. 


8. Country music is the South's anthem.
If you don't like county music are you really from the South?


9. We know how to party below the Mason Dixon.
Partying is our speciality. A huge bonfire with kegs and trucks blaring country music, it doesn't get much better than that. 


10. The amazing weather.
We see all these Northern states having to deal with three feet of snow and we just laugh.

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.
