If you grew up in a beach town, you definitely had the best childhood. Don't think so? Read the signs below and you'll be running back to the shore before I can scream, "Bennys go home!".

1. You bragged about how the beach is basically your backyard.

2. On a warm day in the spring, you and you friends grabbed Dunkin' Donuts and went straight to the beach after school.

3. While the offseason is quiet, you know that the summer is the complete opposite.


You couldn't figure out how there were more cars than people

4. "Bennys go home" is an all too familiar phrase.


5. Flip flops were an essential part of your wardrobe.

You were always the first in line for Old Navy's $1 flip flop sale.

6. The last day of school initiated a competition of who could get to the shore the fastest.

7. Summer days were spent biking to the beachfront with ice cream in hand.

8. You were always prepared for hurricane season.

Flashlights, batteries, bread, and of course the paddle boat for when the streets flood. You had to have some sort of fun!

9. You've tried working out on the beach.

You realized that sneakers and sand don't like to mix.

10. You made it a mission at least once to see the sunrise from the beach.

The Insta picture may have not come out as great as you wanted, but the view was worth waking up before 5.

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.
