From Skate America to Worlds, the skating season can get long and stressful - and we're just cheering from home. Being a fan of figure skating really tests your patience and sanity, but lets be honest, we love every second of this dramatic sport. Here's 11 moments that every die-hard skating fan can relate to.

  1. You can tell by the first beat of music when someone is skating to Carmen, Phantom of the Opera, or Swan Lake.
  2. You can tell when someone is skating to Firebird simply by looking at their costume.
  3. You have woken up at odd hours of the night to watch an event from across the world.
  4. It’s not “Netflix and chill” it’s “IceNetwork and chill”
  5. You still have traumatizing flashbacks to 2014 US Nationals.
  6. You understand that a triple flip doesn’t mean someone is going to do 3 backflips in a row.
  7. By the end of the season, you have your favorite skater’s programs memorized.
  8. You treat nationals like the Super Bowl.
  9. You’ve been known to cancel plans in order to watch skating.
  10. You spend a lot of time on YouTube watching old performances.
  11. Those old performances still make you cry.

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.

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.
