12 Signs That You're Obsessed With The Force Awakens
Spinoff

" Star Wars: The Force Awakens" comes out this week on Blu-Ray and Digital HD download (sidebar: that's new) and you couldn't be more excited. All of your faves! Together again! And you can watch them whenever you want! Sounds like a deal so strong that it could pull the ears off a gundark. But then again, you may be showing some signs that you're a little too excited. (Note: This list contains spoilers.)

12. You've been planning a viewing party with all of your pals.

It's been on your calendar for weeks. As the big day draws closer, you remind your guests every 24 hours or so. You even plan on making some BB-8 cake pops. It's gonna be awesome.

11. You find any excuse to quote the movie.

Just got back to your room? "Chewie...we're home." Passing the salad at a family dinner? "I'll give you...ONE HALF PORTION." Walking by a dumpster? "That one's garbage!" Everyone's telling you that it's getting annoying, but hey, it's whatever.

10. Wearing a hood has never been the same.

If your friends think you quote the movie too much, it's nothing compared to how much you want to reenact certain scenes. Dramatically removing your hood and giving a silent stare never felt so fun.

9. You have a running tally as to how many times you've seen it.

And you're running out of appendages to count off from.

8. Your paychecks are always squandered on merchandise.

That custom lightsaber may have cost you $40, but it lights up. And it makes noises. And you modeled it to look exactly like Luke's. That way it comes in handy when you're trying to reenact that last scene, as one clearly so often does (see again: number 10). So worth it.

7. The Force...it's calling to you.

Admit it. We've all tried to use the Force to grab the TV remote when it's just too far away. And Episode VII has just reawakened that gesture, even if it hasn't worked for us yet. Oh well, maybe Han was right.

6. You try not to think about THAT scene.

What? Did I just say Han? I—I mean, he's totally fine. It's fine. I'm fine. We're all fine. Right?

5. ...But you really can't stop thinking about it.

It's not fine. In fact, the devil's in the details. The shout that starts the confrontation. The face-stroke that ends it. The parallel to Episode IV as Rey and Finn look on from afar. The parallel to Episode V as father meets son on a very unsafe-looking crossbeam over a cavernous pit. It's all quite genius when you think about it, at least when it's not too painful to relive. Which is kind of all the time.

4. You've wished for your own BB-8.

That little droid makes everything better. So precious. So spunky. So smol.

3. The score has become the soundtrack to your life.

Rey's Theme is your alarm. March of the Resistance is your ringtone. Everything else is on repeat, looped into your John Williams playlist. Because everyone has one of those. The man is a musical god.

2. You've lost friends based on theories regarding Rey's parentage.

Is she a Skywalker? Is she a Kenobi? Is she just Sith Lord Jar-Jar in disguise? We need answers, JJ, answers!

1. You make Episode VII the subject of your first Odyssey article.

Okay, this one might not be as universal, but if you've read this far down the list, then you deserve a hug, free of charge. Woohoo!

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.
