Open mic nights are unique in the way that you're free to do anything you like. Whether it be reading poetry, singing, or dancing, everyone is given the opportunity to show their talents.

1. The intense poetry readers

We have no idea what her poem was even about, but it sure was creative. And intense. Was the dead bird put into her hands a metaphor for something or did it actually happen?

2. The singer with the two interpretive background dancers

They steal the show, to be honest. And make the song so much more fun to watch. Is there a limit to how many times they can recreate the lift move from "Dirty Dancing?" No there is not.

3. Those two people that sing an adorable duet

They try to wear coordinating outfits, and everyone joins in when they forget the words. You can't help but love them. Especially the one that's really supportive of other people once they're offstage.

4. The really talented one that has an album coming out on iTunes

You know she's the real deal when people that weren't even at the event ask about her. And she has the amazing ability to write songs herself that are actually good.

5. The super boss improv dancer

She's so naturally talented and makes it look easy. And of course, everyone loves her performance.

6. The one that asks for volunteers, then calls people up by name, says they're going to roast these people, then proceeds to compliment them

Everyone then boos because they were promised a roast. I mean, it's a nice gesture and everything, but there's a time and place. When the audience demands a roast, you roast.

7. The one everyone wants to perform but doesn't

They don't, but they shout at the people adjusting the sound equipment to "spit a few bars." And there was a whole chain of people ending with them that were going to perform if they did.

8. The surprise performance from a staff member that was totally unexpected and no one saw coming.

He challenges that guy who just finished rapping to a rap battle, and he turns out to be really good. Meanwhile, everyone watching is shook.

9. The people who perform to give everyone's favorite the time to pick a song

These ones are the best and deserve more recognition. Especially if they chose to do something really special and meaningful to them.

10. The guy who can freestyle rap

Someone hit up Lin-Manuel Miranda and tell him that this dude is fit for Freestyle Love Supreme! Nobody knows exactly what his name is a few days after the event even though he kept promoting himself and all the accounts to listen to him on.

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.
