Sometimes you just want to freak people out because it's funny.

1. Extremely prolonged eye contact

I know it has been done before, it's a cliché, but if you really want to freak someone out this is a great starting point.

2. Asking someone if they have been crying, when they clearly haven't been.

This will make anyone question whether or not they are hiding their sadness... from themselves.

3. Laugh really hard in a genuine manner when you are alone in silence with a person (keep laughing until it gets extremely weird).

This would definitely freak me out, I highly suggest.

4. When you meet someone for the first time tell them you had a dream about them.

Straight up terrifying, try and give a weird amount of detail when explaining the dream.

5. Correct someone on your name, making up a new name each time you meet them (causing them to think they are going crazy not knowing what your name is).

This is a good one if you don't want to be friends with someone but they can't take the hint.

6. Drop something in front of a stranger and stare at them until they pick it up.


Great to do in a quiet, yet crowded place, like an airplane or a play.

7. Take a picture of someone you don't know that well, make it your phone background then show it to them.

Preferably a close up of their face. Also, this is super creepy so make sure you pick someone who at least kind of knows you.

8. After someone says something say "that's what I just said", even though you didn't, and look at them confused.

You really have to stick to your argument with this one. Also, try to do it when someone says something really specific to make it extra weird.

9. Randomly start breathing really loud and fast and tell everyone you don't know what they're talking about when they ask if you're okay.

This will definitely freak people out... maybe too much.

10. If someone lightly touches you scream and jump back.

This will make for some serious awkward silence, always remember to say "I'm just messing with you" after this one.

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.
