Public high school is either the best four years of your life, or a nightmare. However it was for you, you can probably relate to these signs that you went to a public high school.

1. You knew that "substitute teacher" and "movie day" were synonyms.

2. Prom was a slightly watered down version of a club.

3. Friday night football was everything.

4. When it wasn't football season, sports were almost non-existent.

5. Every election like student body president and homecoming court were all popularity contests.

6. You and your squad had a table at lunch that nobody else could sit at.

7. When you hear the words "field trip" you get with your friends and.


8. Taking the SAT for the first time was the worst day ever and after it, you're just like...


9. Senior skip day was the best day of your senior year, besides graduation of course.


10. But if we're honest, every day was senior skip day.


11. But speaking of graduation, that was the best day ever.


12. Although, it was a little sad because you saw the people you grew up with walk across the stage and start the rest of their lives.


13. You had a favorite teacher. And they were considered your favorite because they didn't care if you skipped and gave you A's just for showing up.


15. Most people who went to your school were actual trash.


16. The bathrooms and sometimes hallways always smelt like weed.


17. You got in trouble at least once a week for dishonoring the dress code.


18. You thought your boyfriend/girlfriend was the love of your life.


19. And when you broke up, everyone knew in about an hour.


20. But through all of this, you wouldn't have wanted to change anything because it's made you who you are today.

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.

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.
