1. Please don't breathe in my face while you're chomping on that Reese's Cup

Not only is this inconsiderate, but it can also trigger a reaction. So chew on a breath mint before you start a conversation.

2. Assorted desserts are the WORST

As much as I would love to inhale desserts, I can't take the risk with that peanut butter cookie beside the chocolate one.

3. "You're just being paranoid"

Am I? The fact that I can die from a nut isn't exactly something I can gamble on, Becky.

4. Southwest Airlines is a big NO

I'm sure you divas can live for four hours without your precious roasted peanuts.

5. "Oh, I totally forgot you were allergic!"

Then start remembering.

6. "Are peanuts nuts?"

Legumes.

7. Checking the label on EVERYTHING

Yes, even when it says "Made in a facility" or "Made with equipment that processes nuts", I'm still a little nervous.

8. I make my friends wash their hands twice if they've touched or eaten peanut butter

Still not a mental thing.

9. "Maybe you're meant to die — it's survival of the fittest"

Sometimes I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far.

10. I think EVERYONE should know how to use an EpiPen

It saves lives, you know.

11. To the people serving me food surrounded by and touching nuts: Please change equipment accordingly

It not only can save my life but thousands of others, as well.

12. No, I cannot have Almond, Cashew, or Pistachio milk

I know we try to be healthy, but let's stick to a nice 2% milk choice.

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.
