12 Signs That You Are Actually An Adult
http://evolllution.com

All throughout out our childhood we would always talk about how excited we were to become adults. We looked forward to going to high school and learning how to drive. Then we counted down the days until we graduated high school. Now we are in college or just finished college and are finally becoming the adults we used to dream about. (Why we wanted to grow up I would never know). Here are a few signs that you have hit the "adult" mark in your life.

1. You don't worry about making your own doctors appointment when you are sick.


2. You can do your own laundry.

3. You have to work to support yourself, not because you just want spending money.


4. When you realize that you actually have to pay for stuff like water and power.

5. You have to budget very carefully.


6. Even when you think you have enough money in you're account treat yo' self, but it turns out that you only have $3 left.

7. You have to pay income taxes.

8. You or your friends are getting engaged.

9. You or your friends are getting pregnant, purposefully.

10. Staying up past 11 is considered late to you.

11. You pay for your own life/dental insurance.

12. You are able to balance working on your career with your social life.

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.
