And to think, I thought I would have life totally together by now!

1. Forgetting To Make Your Doctors Appointments

It's not that I'm trying to avoid going, I just truly forget about it. You can send me as many reminders as you want, but I promise I will still forget to make any kind of doctor appointment. Fingers crossed that there's not a secret disease running rampant through my body!

2. Running Late Because You Refuse To Use Your Maps App

I "thought" I knew how to get back home the other day. Turns out I ended up 15 miles past the airport, and 30 minutes late from the dinner I had planned to attend. A responsible adult would definitely use their GPS, I should learn from them..

3. When You Feel Permanently Exhausted Because You're Incapable Of Going To Bed At A Reasonable Hour

I only meant to watch one more episode... Going to bed early is for the weak. You can sleep when you're dead.

4. When You Spend Your Final $5 On a Shot

Payday is only a week away!

5. When You Discover You Suck At Feeding Yourself

Turns out you cannot live off of applesauce cups and Easy Mac. I have the diet of a 4-year-old toddler.

6. When You've Become A Pro At The 'Smell Test'

Heaven forbid I actually have to do laundry. The washer seems determined to ruin my life... and every minute of my free time.

7. When You Finally DO Laundry, And Avoid Folding It For Weeks

Ninety-eight percent sure there's a load of clothes that have been sitting in my dryer since Tuesday. Who knew that your dryer doubled as storage space?!

8. You Avoid Talking About Your Job At All Costs

Uhm, what do I do? For a living? *Insert vague and confusing answer here, and pray to God that they don't further interrogate you*

9. When You Avoid Checking Your Bank Account Balance

I don't actually want to SEE that I spent my final $5 on a shot...

10. When You Realize that You Are NOT Excel Proficient

Contrary to what you put on your resume, you have absolutely no idea what you do not know about Microsoft Excel.

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.
