You’re only as young as you feel! But this old phrase can go both ways. Here are 13 signs that you are actually an old person trapped in a young body.

1. You don't stay up past 10 p.m.


No one may be telling you to go bed, but your brain and body are shutting down and you can’t ignore that.

2. You judge going out based on how much walking it will require.

Is it going to have minimal walking or will you be on your feet the entire time, these things do matter. Also will there be chairs?

3. You need to pee every five minutes.

You can’t help it, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

4. You are overly aggressive at Bingo.

You were one away from a Bingo, sometimes you need to tackle somebody.

5. You are very attached to your drama shows and have to see them when they come out.

You know you have it on DVR, but you have to see it live, when your stories are on, they are on.

6. You forget things all the time.

Anything from walking into a room and forgetting why to forgetting that you left your trunk open while you are driving down the highway.

7. For girls: You literally have your entire house in your purse.

Everything you need from butterscotch candy to a back up outfit to your blender, old people are usually always prepared.

8. Having to get up is painful.

It may be physically painful or mentally painful, if it hurts you a little bit to leave your bed, then you may be old.

9. On the daily, you make remarks to things in the past.

“I remember back in my day…” You are always reminiscing, looking back on fond memories and you enjoy sharing them.

11. You tell a story to someone approximately a thousand times.

It is such a good story that you need to tell it 30 times, then when you finish and they said they heard it before so you just shrug and tell it again.

12. You are very parental when it comes to your friends.

Did you remember your coat? It is chilly outside! Are you hungry? I can make you some food. If you need a ride just call me, then I'm there for you.

13. You are not the best driver.

You may drive a little too slow or a little too fast. But let’s hope you’re not like Miss. Daisy.

14. You hate it when people touch your stuff.

Whether someone’s feet are on your lawn or someone has your phone, you don’t like it.

15. You don't care what anyone else thinks.

And to top it all off, you don’t give a damn what anyone thinks about you. You just do what you want and that’s the best part.

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.
