16 Warning Signs It's Been Too Long Since You Last Left Your House

1. You make up an excuse for anything.


2. You start justifying everything you do.

“I can watch two more episodes of 'Game of Thrones/Orange is the New Black/One Tree Hill' because I walked the dog six hours ago.”

3. Showering is more of a time consuming activity than a hygienic chore.


4. You find yourself constantly in the way of your housekeeper.


5. You can't watch Netflix anymore because you've already seen everything twice.

6. Instagram and Snapchat aren’t refreshing as fast as you need to stay entertained.

7. Time is calculated by the last time you ate.


8. You've gotten a cavity from playing too much Candy Crush. You know it’s bad if you’ve re-downloaded Temple Run too.

9. You can feel your pets judging you.


10. Back stalking yourself on Facebook used to be fun, but now it makes you depressed to see how much skinnier you were, and to be reminded of all the people you haven’t spoken to since signing their yearbook #HAGS.

11. You're more interested in your mom’s gossip from her weekly mahjong game than your own gossip. Mostly because finding out gossip would require you to engage in conversation.

12. All that’s left to eat are toppings, dressings, spreads, etc. because you've eaten everything they're supposed to go on. So you start eating them plain.


13. Signing for the package the mailman dropped off was the closest thing to human contact since your dad left for work this morning, because no, the conversations you've been having with yourself do not count.

14. You're bored of being bored.

15. You debate running an errand or meeting a friend to get food.


16. Then your mom calls to ask what you've been doing all day, and you lie, not because you're ashamed, but because if you tell people you did something then that’s almost the same thing as actually doing it.

Well, there's always tomorrow.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
