It is a trend with our generation lately to call yourself a "potato" as a sign of a washed up look or even just feeling gross. But being a potato is not a bad thing; potatoes are responsible for some of the greatest things. Here is a list of all the reasons why it's amazing to be a potato.

1. French Fries.

It's okay to be a little salty sometimes, but don't go overboard with it or it ruins everything.

2. Potato Skins

There is nothing wrong with adding a little extra to your looks to accent your true beauty.

3. Mashed Potatoes

You don't need to have a sun kissed glow to be beautiful. Naturally pale skin is gorgeous too!

4. Vodka.

A little confidence booster to help you lay out your best dance moves is more than okay. But there is an issue with having too much confidence. Don't be egotistical and have too much confidence.

5. Baked Potatoes.

They are simple but make you undeniably happy.

6. Tater Tots.

They are small but mighty.

7. Home Fries.

Adding spice to your life can be the answer. Sometimes you just need an exciting and flavorful change to your routine to make things better.

8. Hash Browns.

Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Being triangular and golden brown is just as beautiful as being a normal potato.

9. Hasselback Potatoes.

Here is a new and exciting way to make a fresh potato. You are a fresh and beautiful potato. Look into the closest mirror and whisper that to yourself.

10. Potato Wedges.

Being thick cut is fun because there's more potato to enjoy. Who doesn't love having more potato?

11. Potato Chips.

Want to be in shape? Round is a shape, so don't let anyone tell you different. Be a beautiful, round, potato chip.

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.

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.
