We all know it's true that being from the south is a completely different world at times.

1. You know at least one person who sounds like they came out of 'Gone With the Wind'.

It's all about the accent!

2. People are always asking where you are from because of your accent.

The accent gives off that we aren't from the typical cities. Everyone has to try and figure out where we are from. It's like a guessing game!

3. You think that butter, bacon and sweet tea are the Holy Grail.

4. 'Y'all' is the only way to address two or more people.

5. You're are always hearing "Don't call me ma'am/sir, it makes me feel old".

We were raised to always say 'yes ma'am' and 'no ma'am' and it drives people that weren't raised the same way insane. Some people even think of it as an insult, but we promise it isn't meant to be.

6. "Bless your heart" is the best way to insult someone when you aren't wanting to curse.

7."Coke" refers to any kind of soda.

No matter where you go, you always refer to soda as Coke. Then you get the question of regular or diet, and then it gets to be a little confusing for those that don't understand.

8. Wearing white after Labor Day is a big no no.

Just leave it at this, some people would consider this a sin. You just don't do it.

9. You are always looking forward to "Mud-bug" season.

Crawfish season is the best season, and we are always hoping it comes early.

10. You will always love the south, and you will always call it home.

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.
