Whether you are originally from Charlotte or have only lived here for a little while, you will know these struggles all too well. From the roads to the weather, Charlotte definitely has its issues, but they are nothing a seasoned Queen City citizen cannot handle. See if you can relate to any of these daily difficulties, or if you’re not from The Hornet’s Nest, maybe you can sympathize.


1. The ever-changing weather.

Charlotte seems like the only place where you have to wear a jacket in the morning only to need a bathing suit by mid-afternoon.

2. The same road can change three times.

Providence to Queens to East Morehead is just one example.

3. Driving on 485 or Providence Road is a hassle at 5 p.m.

You know, it's better to not even try and to just stay where you are until at least 7 p.m.

4. Coming in second to Raleigh.

The roads, the concerts, the everything.

5. You rarely meet someone who is actually from Charlotte.

Nobody that lives here seems to be a Charlotte native, everyone appears to be from just about everywhere else.

6. Every concert is during the week.

All the larger cities get the weekend time slots which means Charlotte always gets the worst showtimes.

7. HB2 is on everyone’s mind

Whether you support it or not, you know you can’t go a week without hearing about it.

8. Losing Superbowl 50

You know that this was probably one of the most disappointing losses of all time for Panthers fans.

9. The city shuts down with a forecast of snow

If the weatherman even mentions the words "snow" or "ice," school is canceled and salt is dumped on the roads immediately.

10. Trying to eat at Cook-Out on a Friday night is a nightmare

The line is always the longest on a Friday night and you may not even be able to fit your car in the parking lot.

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.
