10 Signs You Were A Scene Kid
Normal Bob

Growing up, you go through a lot of changes. With these changes, your personality or interests may differ throughout the years. One of the phases I went through is the "scene phase" or being "emo," some people may call it. Here are 10 signs you went through that phase.

1. Your favorite song's title was six words or more.

"You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds" by Mayday Parade was my favorite song. Other songs may be "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More 'Touch Me,'" or "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off." Most likely, these titles made no sense to the song at all.

2. Poofing up your hair in hopes of looking like one of those Myspace girls.

No explanation needed for this one.

3. Eyeliner, eyeliner, eyeliner.

You can never go wrong with extremely thick eyeliner.

4. Having a MySpace account to find other kids like you.

You knew all of the HTML codes and were able to befriend all of your favorite band members.

5. Your closet had a mixture of bright neon colors and all black.

There were some days where you dreamed of being the neon scene queen, and other days where you wanted to show your sorrow through black clothing.

6. The "grr" face was your favorite pose in pictures.

Smiling was never an option.

7. You said "rawr" to all of your friends.

I mean, rawr means I love you in dinosaur. There was no better way to show your love to your friends.

8. Your arm was a bracelet holder.

I have to admit, those tan lines from the bracelets I wore made me feel very accomplished.

9. Wearing skinny jeans every day, even in the summer.

Your parents were constantly worried you were going to faint from the heat, but they couldn't make you take those bad boys off, even if you were dead. On the bright side, at least you didn't need a belt.

10. Spending all of your money at Hot Topic.

You had to have your favorite band shirt and bracelet. Who cares if you spent all of your allowance in here? You had to stay in tact with your image, right?

So were you in that scene phase I'm talking about? Did this make you remember or even miss those days? We make a lot of choices in our lives, but why did we ever make this kind of choice? The world will never know.

Scene kids will never die.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
