12 Times You're Actually a 12-Year-Old

I won't ever grow up!

12 Times You're Actually a 12-Year-Old

Sure, you're a college student. And yes, your birth certificate may prove that you're 20 years old, but deep down in your heart are there ever those moments when you feel like you're actually only 12? You're not alone, as I'm sure that the author of this list (*cough, cough, me*) and many other people can relate to these things:

1. When staying home alone still makes you feel really cool.

Even though you're just sitting and watching netflix.

2. When you say "Let me ask my parents..."

Cause they're still kinda the keeper of your schedule and still make the rules.

3. When you're still offended that Justin Bieber stole the nickname "JB" from the Jonas Brothers.

Don't even get me started.

4. When you're disgusted with the quality of Disney Channel shows now...

... not because you're concerned for today's youth but because you can't enjoy the channel yourself now.

5. When you're convinced you could live off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Add a glass of milk and some type of cheese cracker, and you've got a gourmet meal.

6. When you still don't understand taxes and mortgages and retirement.

That stuff doesn't apply to me yet, right??

7. When you still think you can own like 5 businesses, have a family, be the President, and save the world all at once.

Dream big! But then reality hits and all you really want to do is nap.

8. When you're supposed to be babysitting, but you really are just genuinely playing.

Barbies never get old. Or nerf guns.

9. When you can't really imagine being an adult.

Eh, no. Can't see it. Not a good fit for me.

10. When sharp scissors and knives still intimidate you a bit.

They actually trust me with these things now?!

11. When you feel you have to prove your knowledge and strength to four-year-olds.

"What's 4+4? Haha, bet you don't know it but I do!!"

12. When you want to be completely independent, but there's just those things that only Mom can do right.

"Mom, how much detergent should I put in again?"

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.
