10 Things You Cook When You First Move Out
Humphreys Farm

My biggest fear when I moved out was "What the hell am I going to eat?" I can't cook. I mean, I can make cereal if that counts...

So before you start cooking, make sure you have these things: salt, pepper, olive oil and butter. You can't go wrong with this stuff because you can basically put it on anything and make it taste a lot better. So now, the 10 things you cook when you first move out:

1. Spaghetti
It sounds easy. Right? But for whatever reason, the first few times you cook it, it is crunchy. Spaghetti shouldn't be crunchy. The trick "throw it against the wall. If it sticks, its cooked," is a complete lie.

2. Fancy Salad
By fancy salad, I mean, you throw a bunch of random foods that may or may not taste good together into a bowl and you eat it. Salad. Fancy.

3. Chicken
You learn that it is easy and its really hard to screw up...unless you consistently under-cook it--or over cook it. But don't worry, eventually, you'll get the hang of it.

4. Pizza Rolls
Microwave or oven. They're great and easy, and you may only burn them a couple of times. But you really can never go wrong, and there is such a large variety that you can just fill your freezer and go at it.

5. Stuffed Peppers
It is easier than you think, as long as you only use like three other ingredients. (P.S. Pinterest makes it really easy, so I advise you get an account)

6. More Chicken
I'm not kidding. You live off of this stuff. Lunch. Dinner. Lunch. Dinner. Snack. You can cook multiple pieces at once, and you're set. For like a week.

7. Take Out
Okay, so it is not technically cooking... but it is still food right?

8. Frozen Dinners
Mom and dad would be so proud.

9. Cereal
Yes...it does count.

10. Random sandwiches
The bread might be stale and the meat might look funky, but just follow it up with a nice cold beverage.

Don't worry though, all of these things only last for the first month or two. Because at some point, you will have gotten really sick of these foods so you force yourself to learn and adult. Make mama proud!

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.
