20 Things Only People Who Excessively Sweat Understand

Everyone sweats, but while some people will produce one bead of sweat on their forehead while running a marathon, others can fill a large bucket of sweat while sitting in the shade watching that marathon. This article is for the bucket-fillers of the world, the people who sweat nonstop. For those of us who can produce sweat in places some never knew possible, here are 20 things that only people who excessively sweat can understand:

1. Your outfits/makeup/hair get ruined before you even get to the party.

2. The inability to even raise your arms in public is all too real.

3. Your closet is full of all the dull colors, except for light grey and white... So basically just black.

4. Wearing layers is never worth it.

5. This happens way too often.

6. And even though these were created for people who write left-handed, your strongly considering getting one.

7. It looks like you are on the verge of death when you workout.

8. You sweat off antiperspirants before they have a chance to work.

9. Hand dryers are always go to sweat stain dryers.

10. Avoiding hand shakes like the plague, but if unavoidable, then casually drying your sweaty hands off on the nearest piece of cotton.

11. You're the only one who's excited for summer to end and winter to come.

12. You're embarrassed to admit some of the things you've used to try and help stop the sweating.

13. The feeling of peeling your sweaty thighs off the chair.

14. Swamp ass has eliminated the ability to wear any sort of fashionable colored shorts or pants.

15. You hate people who supposedly "don't sweat".

16. That nice, greasy shine to your face 24/7.

17. You have no clue how people can make sweating look sexy.

18. Fans are God's gift to us.

19. People probably think you have a cold because it looks like you are constantly wiping your nose, but really you're just wiping your lip sweat.

20. You're pretty positive your sweat is out to ruin your life.

We are the sweaters of the world. We sweat until our clothes are ruined and people begin to give us weird looks. It's what we're good at sweating, so it's what we do. There are times in your life where your sweating may seem like it has ruined everything, but once you've learned to accept it, it becomes a part of who you are. Who would I be without my clammy hand shakes and trips to the bathroom so I can sit under the hand dryer? So here's to the sweaty people of the world, may our sweat bring many more awkward encounters and dull colored clothing to our lives.

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.

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.
