Moving out of your parents' house ultimately means learning how to provide and fend for yourself. One of the biggest things you have to learn is how to cook for yourself. Most people just assume that you’ve watched your parents cook and have picked up on some basic kitchen things. For some of us, even growing up helping your parents make food, we still just can’t get the hang of it. If you’re one of the unfortunate ones who doesn’t have the knack for cooking, there’s a few things you know to be true.

1. Something ends up burnt. Whether it’s the food or your skin usually depends on how adventurous you are trying to be.

2. Something almost always over boil. Even when you keep a watchful eye on them, something bubbles over and creates a huge mess.

3. Even when you follow a recipe, you miss something that changes the entire outcome of the meal.

4. You become accustomed to eating either overcooked or under cooked pasta because you can’t tell when it’s done.

5. No matter how hard you try, there is always a huge mess to clean up afterwards.

6. You like all of those cooking videos on Facebook, but you never try to make them because it's all too difficult.

7. When you try to help someone else cook, you usually end up standing in the corner not doing anything because you don’t want to mess anything up.

8. Even when you use the microwave, you burn your food.

9. You have to ask for help every time.

10. Once in a blue moon when your food turns out semi-decent, you have to tell everyone that you cooked. They usually follow with the question of how edible your food actually is.

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.
