Being a redhead can either be very fun or very annoying or both. You're quite often compared to Lindsey Lohan, Debra Messing, Jayma Mays, Emma Stone and Amy Adams. Being a redhead people tend to think of you as a different type of human being. Why? Well apparently we have tempers which are worse than any type of blonde or brunette (which is odd in my opinion) and our "sass level" is higher than most. I know you can't see me but I'm totally rolling my eyes. In my personal opinion, redheads aren't as sassy or as temperamental as others, we're just the same. But let me tell you the major struggle we face every single day.

1. "You have no soul."

My God the amount of times I have actually been told this has been WAY too much (thanks Southpark). It is probably the most annoying thing ever freaking said. Yes I have a soul, no I won't take yours from you so bye.

2. Sunscreen is your best friend.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE the beach, in fact, it's my favorite place in the world, however, I have SPF 150 with me at all times and I can't stay out for very long or else I turn into a lobster. The best times to go as a pale beauty are between 8 am and noon then anytime after 3. Afternoon time is the prime burn time.

3. "Is that your natural color?"

I honestly hate this question because you truly cannot get my color in a bottle. You can try, but you will fail. So yes Susan that is my natural hair color and no I did not dye it. I am just that fierce.

4. "Don't ever dye your hair!"

I swear I get this like 90x a day. I actually rebelled and dyed it a darker color to see what it'd look like and I really liked it. My grandmother however did not and cried when she saw it. But natural redheads will understand this. EVERYONE envy's the color. But despite it, I do what I want!

5. Everyone assumes you have a temper.

"Don't make her mad or else she'll go off on you." Okay that's not ENTIRELY true, however it can happen from time to time. Don't hate on us, I've seen brunettes get more fiery. Though it does come in handy from time to time.

6. Every brunette needs a redhead best friend.

It's true we make the best of friends. But we're a brunette's partner in crime. We are fierce working together. We will take up for you constantly (like any best friend) but truly and honestly if you hurt a redhead's best friend, we do show that temper. So naturally, people try not to hurt us or our friends because when you hurt them you hurt us and that's a bad idea.

7. Every nickname reflects your hair color.

Ginger, red, ging... I've heard every single one of these names. While it's annoying it's not like we won't answer to it.

8. Fake redheads

This one sort of speaks for itself. People dye their hair ruby red and think they're automatically a redhead. No no. You're just a cherry.

9. People automatically assume you're Irish or Scottish.

NOT ALL OF US ARE. It's not a bad thing if you are (I'm Irish and Scottish) but not all of us are Irish or Scottish.

10. You always stand out in the crowd.

You can't blend in if you try. But that's just one of the many things that make you unique!

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.
