12 Signs You Are Not A Kid Anymore

We all aspire to be just like Peter Pan, vowing never to grow up. We hold onto our childhood for as long as we can, stretching it out through the late teens and early 20's. But one morning, as you flip through television channels and stumble upon the Disney channel, you realize "Boy Meets World" and "Sister Sister" have been replaced by unfamiliar titles and characters. At this moment, you begin to recognize the signs that you are no longer a kid.

1. You enjoy staying in on a Friday night.

And every other night...

2. You get excited by kitchen supplies.

3. You remember this amazing screen.

And you probably had a really embarrassing screen name too.

4. You have owned any one of these.

And you owned them in multiple colors and scents.

5. You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

6. You order everything online because there is really no such thing as a flattering dressing room mirror.

7. You are not familiar with any of the new Disney channel shows.

Seriously, who are these people?

8. You are on Facebook, not Twitter.

9. Before you go anywhere, you consider where you will park.

10. Your friends are getting engaged.

11. You constantly talk about the price of gasoline.

12. You viewed this post.

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.
