1. You have to resist the urge to respond to this gif with, "and also with you."

2. You understand the pain associated with this garment designed by Satan himself:


Thirteen-year-olds aren't awkward enough, let's thrown in some plaid.

3. You tried to sit next to your crush during Mass so you could hold hands during the "Our Father."


4. You were thrown for a freaking LOOP when they changed the words to the Nicene Creed.


"Of all things seen and un--I mean visible and invisible."

5. You wondered who would get "the huge one."

Or just like break it into a thousand tiny pieces, that's fine.

6. People are always telling you there's some shit on your forehead on Ash Wednesday.

7. You have post traumatic stress from arriving to Mass after the processional and trying to find a seat.

ALL the judgmental looks.

8. There's a photo of you (or your sister) in this exact outfit hanging in your house:

9. Your parents have a big ass Bible somewhere.

Great use of space.

10. Your Tuesday nights were ruined with CCD.

11. You feel like you can't enjoy red wine.

13. You definitely squeezed your younger sibling's hand until you saw tears during the "Our Father"


14. You still defend the Catholic Church to this day, even if you aren't practicing.

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.

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.
