20 Things Girls Give Themselves Credit For

It's all about the little things.

20 Things Girls Give Themselves Credit For

There are just some things that us ladies do that deserve a good ol' pat on the back.

1. Getting your eye liner perfect on the first try. If this isn't the most rewarding thing, I really don't know what is.

2. Making a great pun. Spontaneous moments of super witty comments, or references, are so rewarding. It is like, "holy sh!t? I just said that? Don't say anything else, it won't be as clever."

3. When you get an "I miss you" text from an ex and you ignore it because you're better than that.

4. ...and your "read" receipts are on. Oh you savage.

5. Saying the number one answer on "Family Feud" before they say it. Yeah, you'd kill it on the show, you just need a bunch of you to be on your team.

6. Taking a killer selfie. That's not lighting or a filter, it is all you girl.

7. Ordering something online and it fits perfectly. You know your body so well you don't even have to measure yourself.

8. Getting compliments on the outfit you pretty much put together in the dark. I went into this blind, but I guess I'm fashion forwardly blind.

9. Rapping every word to your jam and not messing up. *drops mic*

10. Clutching out an A. This goes for anyone. A's make people happy and shocked at the same time.

11. When your Instagram caption is on "fleek". Yeah you did just quote a Drake song that fit the picture perfectly and everyone got it. It's gonna be a good day.

12. Catching something when someone gives a bad throw. You just looked super human to everyone around you, enjoy it. They think you have cat like reflexes, but really you just watch a lot of cat videos.

13. Dropping your phone and it doesn't crack. Sweet baby Jesus, that could've been a turn for the worst, but everything is okay.

14. Throwing your hair up in a bun, and it looks #tumblr. You need an automatic photo shoot just for your bun.

15. When you get your nails done. You didn't do sh!t except for pay for it, but hey, good for you.

16. Making it to the charger at 1% and battery saving mode. You tuck and rolled to that outlet 007 style.

17. Making it to Chic-fil-a before they stop serving breakfast. 10:27? No problem. Let me just run three red lights, and a stop sign. The chicken biscuit is worth it.

18. Going to Target and only buying what you went there for. This needs no explanation.

19. Not missing a patch of hair on your legs when you shave. The process of shaving is all about feeling, so the fact that your fingers didn't let you down this time is more than enough of a reason for a pat on the back.

20. When your bra and underwear match. Usually we look like we just threw up patterns on our undergarments, or they resemble what your grandma wears, so when they match, you be feeling yo' self.

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.
