11 Things Forgetful People Know All Too Well

A good memory is one of the most advantageous tools a person can have, giving them the ability to recall information and details from past events, experiences, reading pieces, lectures, speeches, etc. This tool can come in handy in just about every situation imaginable, but if you weren't one of the few blessed with even a halfway decent memory, daily life can be a bit of a drag. These 11 struggles hardly do justice to the mass of confusion that us memory-less folk experience.

1. Where did I park?

If you're like me, this is an everyday question.

2. Have you seen my keys?

3. Sh*t, we had homework today???

As everyone else turns in their homework.

4. Where am I going...

5. Did I leave my windows down? *torrential rain pour*

Or if you live in the Midwest, you leave them down in the middle of a snow storm. Why, you ask, would my windows be down in the middle of winter? I have no idea.

6. Where the heck are all of my clothes?

And then you check the laundry room and realize you washed them last week. Get it together brain.

7. Cups... everywhere

Cups in the bathroom, cups in the living room, cups on the deck, so many cups in my room. Maybe it's laziness, maybe I like cups, maybe I can't remember what I had in what cup in what room, I have no idea.

8. *Parents come home* SH*TTTT *scampers to vacuum, do dishes, take garbage out*

9. Plant lover but horrible mother

If you manage to kill a cactus, it's time to give up. *reminder to myself*

10. "You never texted me back..." "...I forgot"

Your friends and family just come to accept it.

11. *Forgets we have a dog* *forgets to take dog outside* *dog pees everywhere*

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.
