18 Things All Tomboys Know To Be True

1. As a kid, you could be found playing street hockey, perfecting your spiral, or practicing free throws; not playing with dolls.

You whooped boys at sports on the daily.




2. You aren't afraid of a little dirt.

The muddier the better!




3. You grew up wearing your brothers' hand-me-downs.

You probably still dress like a boy 99.9% of the time.



4. Salad really isn't your thing.

Keep the plants to yourself, please and thank you.



5. You're more than competent when it comes to sports knowledge, and it REALLY irritates you when people question that.

Don't expect me to recite stats if you can't do it either...



6. Openly talking about emotions makes you uneasy.

Touchy feely conversations? Yuck.



7. Clothes shopping is actually the death of you.

The only way you'll partake is if there will be food involved.



8. You never really perfected the art of hair and makeup.


But WHY are there 17 different brushes just for eyeshadow?



9. You always got in trouble for being 'too rough' in sports.

"sorry for fouling out for the 3rd game in a row, coach."




10. You took gym class waaaay too seriously, and weren't afraid to call the slackers out.

KNEES TO CHEST, LADIES!



11. Flirting was never really your strong-suit.

So you pretty much just avoid doing it.



12. People are always surprised at how nicely you clean up, not that it matters to you.

Why would I waste hours of my life just to be restricted and uncomfortable?



13. Because the mere thought of wearing high heels makes you cringe.

It's not a matter of if I'll fall, it's a matter of when.



14. You can proudly recite every line of "Remember the Titans".

"Everywhere we goooooo (everywhere we goooooo), people wanna knooowww..."



15. As well as "The Sandlot".

"You're KILLIN' me, smalls."




16. Because of your hyper-competitive spirit, "play-fighting" becomes a brawl in .2 seconds.

Don't test me.



17. You've been told countless times that you're just like "one of the guys".

Tell me somethin' I don't know.



18. At the end of the day, you'll always be proud to call yourself a tomboy.

Live it. Love it.

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.

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.
