OH!! ... IO!!

Did you just chant that in your head? Then you passed the test.

Here's a list of a few more things that will ring true if you're from the Buckeye State.

1. You hate that state up north.
Muck Fichigan. Any sight of blue and yellow makes you scowl.

2. You probably live within 30 minutes of a college.
Or two... or three.

3. You know how to spell weird places like Cuyahoga, Wapakoneta.
You also know what letter is doubled in Cincinnati.

4. You think a highway without construction is weird.
You expect to see orange cones everywhere you go. Because, well, they've been working on I-75 since I was born, and probably won't be done until I have a kid.

5. You switch from heat to AC in one day.
It is completely normal to change from your winter jacket to some shorts and a t-shirt in less than 24 hours.

6. You firmly believe that chili tastes best when poured over spaghetti.
Whenever you're feeling good and hungry, it's Skyline time.

7. You have to travel to see your favorite band.
Because well, they won't be coming to Ohio.

8. You go to two amusement parks a summer.
Cedar Point and Kings Island.

9. You have an "Ohio accent."
Also, if you're from Ohio you'll deny this until you're blue in the face.

10. You know what "pop" is.
It's pop, not soda. 'Nuff said.

11. When you hear "Miami" you don't think of Florida.
Try more like Oxford, OH.

12. You're a huge sports fan.
The Cavs, The Reds, The Buckeyes, The Browns, too many teams, too many choices, why not root for them all?

13. You probably have family that lives in Indiana, Michigan or Kentucky.

14. Entertainment is simple.
Mall, movies, drinking or eating.

15. You know that the only way to spell Ohio is with your arms.

16. You absolutely love your state.
There is no other place you'd rather be from!

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.

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.
