My mom’s side of the family is made up of mostly women. I have five aunts and all of my cousins are women except for two. Needless to say, estrogen is overflowing at every family gathering and honestly it’s great. Here is what it's really like growing up in a family of mostly women.

1. Playing Sports as a family isn’t really a thing.

2. Neither is watching sports as a family.

3. Video games aren’t a thing in your family either.

4. But you do always have someone to talk about makeup with.

5. Conversations can quickly go from talking about makeup to giving an in depth play by play of childbirth.

6. Things can also get very emotional very fast.

7. Either way there is always something to talk about.

8. And the talking gets loud.

9. Hair. There's so much of it. I mean, a lot.

10. Bobby pins and hair ties are always randomly scattered around the house after family gatherings.

11. Polishing your nails at family gatherings is totally normal behavior.

12. When you call out for your mom at least three people that aren't your mom answer.

13. You know what a strong, independent woman looks like because you've been surrounded by them your whole life.

14. In turn, you have been shaped into the person you are because of all the women in your family.

15. And you wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
