If you grew up soccer player, there is a 100 percent chance that you have promised yourself that you would never be "that parent". There is also a 100 percent chance you are a liar.

The Soccer Mom and the Soccer Dad are as timeless and classic as the beautiful game itself. You cringe at them then but they, along with your coaches, are what made you into the player you are today.

1. "Can't you get a carpool?"

Just as much as you probably didn't want to go to every three a week training sessions, they didn't want to shuttle you back and forth either.

2. "Do you have sunscreen in your bag?"

You always had two bottles of sunscreen in your bag thanks to Mom. It didn't protect you from the enviable soccer tan but that didn't stop her from slipping it in there every game.

3."You need me to rub in on your face?"

No mom I'm good.

4. "You listen to me, not your coach."

Theres always that one parent on the team who used to play or has studied every world cup who thinks they know better than the coach and goes on ESPN worthy game analysis rants on the car ride home.

5. "Why aren't you playing?"

That's a really good question, I would very much like to know as well.

6. "Lemme talk to the coach."

The parent who is wholeheartedly convinced one of their special phone calls right after practice about how their kid deserves better or their opinion on the training session is actually taken to consideration.

7. "You know your brother/sister did this..."

Wow really??? I didn't know they were on this team. I thought this was my jersey, my apologies.

8. "What does that call mean? What happened?"

Some parents pick up a thing or two after years of sitting on the sidelines for your games. Some parents just have it all go right over their heads.

9. "KICK IT!! ! !!! !"

Thats's what I do to the ball yes, no that's not all you're supposed to do.

10. "You're doing great sweetie!"

When coach, the starting 11, and all of the bench is yelling at you at least someone has your back.

11. "Maybe I should coach next year?"

Please for the love of God no.

12. "I can't, I have to take my kid to soccer."

Thank you Soccer Moms and Dads for all that you do for us. No one supports us better than you.

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.
