16 Things You Wish You Could Tell Your Seventh-Grade Self

1. Don't you dare take that mirror selfie.

2. I know you're new to eyeliner, but you are not supposed to look like a raccoon.

3. As hard as it is to believe, you are not a hippie, so put down that peace sign in your profile picture.

4. If you think your "relationship" that lasted two weeks broke your heart, you've got a lot coming for you.

5. Delete your MySpace profile now and don't look back.

6. While you're at it, delete every single picture you have uploaded to Facebook thus far, (you'll thank me later).

7. Don't say YOLO. Ever.

8. Keep tissues near your nose, and out of your bra.

9. As crazy as it sounds, if you can't sit with your besties in the cafeteria, you will still make it out alive.


10. You won't be this awkward for the rest of your life...hopefully.

11. Hollister, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie are not your friends.

12. Throw out any gauchos you have in your ownership, and do it quickly.

13. As "in" as they may be now, Crocs will never be acceptable. Do not buy a pair even if all of the cool kids do.

14. Stick to smiling when taking a picture, leave it to the lizards to stick their tongues out.

15. Get rid of your squeeze-tube lip gloss, because it is most definitely not poppin'.


...and finally

16. Yes, Justin Bieber is still hot.

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.

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.
