If you were a band kid in high school, you can totally relate to these 10 things.

1. You always had practice.

"Want to go out after school Wednesday?" "Sorry, I have practice." "Want to hang out this weekend?" "Sorry, there's either a competition or a football game or both." (Fun fact: I actually own this shirt).

2. "About face," "Parade rest" and "TTR" were part of your daily vocabulary.

3. Your summer was cut short for band camp.

The first day of school was easy, you were used to being on the field at 7 a.m. for the last two weeks.

4. You could still hear the sound of the doc ticking hours after practice.

During band camp, you also dreamt of it.

5. Turf was everywhere.

Were you even cool if you didn't have turf in all your sneakers?

6. Your section was the best section. No contest.

Flute squad for life.

7. You were never in the student section, but football games were still fun.

8. The band bus was either turnt up or dead asleep. There was no in-between.

9. Traveling with the band was the best.

No parents and a week/weekend with your best friends? Yes, please!

10. All your friends were in band.

Who else were you going to be friends with? You have practice.

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.
