Good luck faking sick.

10 Signs You Were Raised by a Nurse
Virginia

1) You can count on one hand the number of times you have went to the emergency room.

A simple fever or a sprained wrist doesn't worry a nurse. If you're not bleeding to death, you're fine.

2) You always ask your parent for medical advice, and so does your best friend, boyfriend, and roommate.

Don't head to the doctor after you hurt your ankle. No point in asking google how to treat a bee sting.

3) You've gotten your flu shot in the comfort of your kitchen.

I mean, hey, it's free.

4) Your parent has just about every medication under the sun on them.

Nauseous? Here you go. Having an allergic reaction? Try this.

5) You were never able to fake sick.

Somehow they can tell just by looking at you that there is nothing wrong.

6) They always have (graphic) stories to tell you.

Often during dinner, unfortunately.

7) you've dressed up as a nurse/doctor for Halloween.

You had real scrubs and a stethoscope, and their surgeon colleagues might have even let you borrow their shoe covers and scrub caps!

8) If there isn't any tape left, there's always surgical tape!

You might have even secured a school project with it.

9) They have had to work holidays.

Sometimes Easter, sometimes the Fourth of July, maybe even Christmas. You learned early on to cherish the holidays that both parents were home for.

10) No matter what, you're so grateful for being raised by a nurse!

Despite the fact that you could never fake sick and they were often at work on holidays, it's so nice to have someone who knows what they're doing when you're sick or injured.

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.
