12 Reasons It Sucks To Be 20

1. You don't exactly know what you want to do with your life, but a part of you feels like you should have it all figured out by now. And that part of you haunts your dreams... "Get your life together," it says.


2. You're not 21. You're almost there though! Then you can finally stop asking your older friends to by you drinks.


3. By the time your 22 Taylor Swift's song will be out dated, so the phrase "I'm feeling 22" won't be cool anymore.


4. Your parents aren't as giving when it comes to money. So if you don't have a job I guess you better get one, or start selling plasma or something.


5. Your family stops caring about your birthdays. Birthday dinners will slowly become non-existent. But birthday texts are aaaall the rage when you get older.


6. You have to start paying for your own speeding tickets, parking tickets, concert tickets and any other tickets you may come across. No more reckless driving or spontaneous concerts for you.


7. Your parents start slowly making you pay your phone bill, car insurance, and other adult expenses you have. If this hasn't happened to you yet, be on the look out for it. Don't let these bills sneak up on you.


8. You're caught between living the single life and finding someone to settle down with.


9. You know you should get a better paying job, but minimum wage and a discount on food is keeping you cuffed to your food service job.


10. At family gatherings you're too old for the kids table, but too young for the adult table. Makes you feel a bit insignificant, huh?


11. You don't understand why anyone would ever want to be an adult... Jokes on you! You thought becoming an adult would be so much fun!


12. Kids think you're an adult and adults think you're still a kid. But all you want to do is watch Netflix and eat food, who cares what you are.

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.
