On August 1st, I turned 20 years old. I know that's not old at all and I don't have the right to be giving you any words of wisdom, because frankly I have none. I'm still pretty clueless about most things and I'm here to be honest about them.

1. Why was there a hole in the blood vial?

Please see: "Making a Murderer."

2. How come America is the only country in the world that doesn't use the metric system?

I feel like multiples of 10 are way easier than memorizing how many feet are in a mile. (Which I still don't know, by the way. Thanks, Google.)

3. While we're here, how many cups are in a gallon? How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon? I'm really confused.

It's so hard.

4. I've spent my whole life thinking pineapples grow on trees, and they don't.

Honestly, what even is this thing?

5. "Games of Thrones."

I just don't get the hype. Shoot me.

6. Is anyone not going to talk about how huge a moose is?

To be honest, I thought they were as big as horses. Nope.

7. Why do cops have suspected drunk drivers say the ABCs backwards?

I can't even do that sober so cuff me up, buddy.

8. The man bun.

Do I like it? Do I not? I'm confused.

9. People who complain about paint color on "House Hunters."

Isn't it crazy that they make paint so that you can cover up more paint?

10. Why people don't think I'm as funny as I do.

Come on. Seriously.

11. You're telling me that shows like "The Bold and the Beautiful" are still on TV, but "Psych" gets canceled?

Yes, I'm still bitter.

12. There are people in the world that don't like mac and cheese.

This one just really gets me.

13. Why isn't everyone #TeamJess?

Please see: "Gilmore Girls," you piece of trash.

14. Why were Deb Scott and Skills together? At all?

Like that did nothing for the plot line and you know it. It was weird for all of us.

15. Why boys have to comment on how much makeup girls wear.

Like, did my highlight blind you or are you really that stupid? Let me know.

16. Who declared fanny packs "unfashionable?"

It's so convenient, what do you mean?

17. Also, how to spell convenient without spell check.

I just can't do it, okay?

18. Why One Direction decided it was okay just to break up like that?

I can't talk about it for too long or I get upset.

19. How does Easy Mac work?

I can make mac and cheese in 3 minutes and 30 seconds!!!

20. How come literally all dogs are cute???


If you think I'm stupid for not knowing these things that's fine.

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.
