Everyone has THE messy friend, and if you don't, it's probably you. Most people are proud of their clean rooms, while the messy friends have just given up. I am the messy friend, my room is atrocious and my friends are judgmental. If you are like me, then you can probably relate to the majority of these signs. If you think you are not like me, but still relate... SURPRISE! You are the messy friend.

1. Your friends have to shove things off the couch to sit down.

They shove everything off without regard for your belongings. Then they flop down like they own the place.

2. Getting into your bed is like walking through a labyrinth.

Sometimes you just have to clear a path in order to make it.

3. People underestimate when you say your room is a mess.

The infamous "It can't be that bad" or the "My room is a mess too."

4. You go through phases of being neat.

Every once in a while inspiration hits and you clean your room. You may even make a list.

5. It never lasts.

After all, it's easier to mess it up than clean it up. Also, laziness is real.

6. You can never find your keys... or anything for that matter.


Yet, your friends can find them for you.

7. You never sleep alone.

How can you be alone with all of that laundry?

8. Other people help you clean your room.

Often against your will or theirs.

9. You constantly buy things that you think you lost.

Sometimes, it is easier to replace things.

10. You end up finding duplicates of things.

Maybe you shouldn't have replaced the items you "lost".

11. You consider paying people to clean-up for you.

You're busy, why not have someone else do it for you? Plus, you are helping out a friend.

12. Whenever the word "messy" or the phrase "not organized" comes up, you get those eyes.


They think their glances are sly. You notice the looks.

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.
