For centuries, math has been a man's world, but the reality is, math is definitely a woman. Have you seen Hidden Figures? You can't watch these powerful women take over NASA without experiencing math's femininity. Here are 15 more reasons math is female.

1. She seems very complex but the more work you put in, the more you understand her.

2. She is the mother of everything from music to physics to chemistry.

3. She is made up of irrational parts but as you look deeper you find that even the irrational parts can be understood through an equation.

4. We are told all our lives that women can't get along with other women but actually, women really identify with the structure and organization found in her.

5. She is always there to fall back on.

6. There are hundreds of different kinds of women that all have their own personality and style but they all start with the same strong core.

7. The more you fight her, the worse it gets.

8. You do things her way or you don't do them at all.

9. Once you see her beauty you can never unsee her in every part of life.

10. Young boys show they like her by picking on her but by the time they get to college the truth about their love comes out.11. We never take math seriously as we look for the one we're going to spend our lives with (our major) until we realize she's been the one the whole time.

12. Her beauty is found in nature, she embodies the golden ratio.

13. You can dress her up and take her out but she will always be herself.

14. As children, we see her as intimidating but as we get older we find comfort in her stability.

15. When you are lost in a problem you can always go back to her to find your way.

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.
