10 Signs You're From Massachusetts
NerdWallet.com

I'm a Masshole and I'm proud of it! Whether you're from western mass, Boston or the cape, we all share a special bond and love our state. Here are some signs that you're from the coolest state in the country.

1. You literally live off Dunkin’.

Without it you cannot function properly.

2. Most of the summer is spent down the Cape.

You definately know you’re from Massachusetts when you say “the Cape” instead of Cape Cod.

3. Sunday afternoons in the fall are meant for watching the Patriot’s games.

I mean come on, we have the best looking team in the NFL.

4. You know that not everyone fails to pronounce their R’s.

Yes, it is very annoying when tourists ask you to pronounce words: “pahk the cah in the Havahd yahd."

5. Clam chowder is meant to be white, not red.

Who puts tomatoes in their chowder?

6. When you visit other states & realize how fresh our seafood is.

7. 30 degree weather in winter is a miracle.

Snow on halloween can’t stop us!

8. The circles in the road are called rotaries, not roundabouts.

9. Sprinkles vs Jimmies.

Nothing is more annoying than asking for jimmies, then being asked “chocolate or rainbow?”

10. Pedestrians always have the right of way. What’s a crosswalk for?

Surely, these are only a few of the many things that identify people from Massachusetts. Share if you love this state!

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.
