1. You have a lot of tea.

Like, so much tea. Black tea, green tea, oolong, white tea, red tea, Blooming tea...

2. You have a hard time deciding what kind of tea you want to make.

"Do I want the black ginger peach tea, or the green ginger peach tea?"

3. Picking which mug to use is an emotional ordeal.

"Oh, I should use the one with flowers on it! But I've been using that one a lot... No, I can't use that one, that one is only used for Red Rose..."

4. You have so many different ways to make tea.

"Let's see, do I use a tea bag, or my French Press, maybe my mini loose tea steeper... Oh, I could use my Teapot with the tea infuser! Maybe my Teapot for blooming tea?"

5. Sometimes you make tea just to make tea

It's a familiar process where not much can go wrong. Plus, you get tea out of the deal!

6. You miss your tea kettle while you're at school.

"Wait, I can't have a hot plate in the dorm? So, I'll have to make tea... In the microwave?"

7. You hate when people ask you what kind of tea you like...

"All of it. No, seriously, all of it. All kinds of tea!"

8. ... But you do have that one brand that never lets you down.

Nothing beats a good cup of tea from STASH. And let's be honest, Twinnings and Republic of Tea has never really steered you wrong.

9. You're all too familiar with the struggle of forgetting about your tea and then remembering it 2 hours later.

"I'll just drink this when it's a bit cooler... Oh."

10. You've been called an elitist because of how much you love tea.

"Yeah, tea is my drink of choice. No, I'm not trying to be a snob."

11. You understand the healing effects of tea.

Sore throat? Cough? Fever? Feeling anxious? Can't sleep? Stomach upset? Cramps? Losing weight? Need a pick me up? Tea. Tea for all of your problems.

12. Everyone knows you as "the tea drinker..."

"I bet they'll have some tea. They always have tea. Hey! Do you have tea?"

13. ...And you're always the one that gets asked to make tea for every occasion.

"Hey, will you make tea for everyone? None of us can make it as good as you."

14. You have tea and mugs everywhere

In your office, in your room, in your friends room, in your locker...

15. But despite the struggles, you know you could be obsessed with worse things.

Because even though it's just hot water with leaves, you know that, "each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage." -Catherine Douzel

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.
