1. No makeup? No problem.

Not saying girls need makeup. But if you're a tomboy, almost 98% of the time you go without. Usually, you have zero time or just don't feel it.

2. Getting ready takes very little time.

You don't want to wear anything fancy. Comfort is key.

3. T-shirt? Sweats? Sneakers? YES.

Doesn't matter what the latest "look" is. Your clothes make you, YOU.

4. Your go to hairstyle is usually a natural look, a ponytail, or a bun.

You have naturally straight or curly hair and rocking it. Hot weather? Ponytail. Rain? Bun. No time wasted on this.

5. You never worry about nails.

If you don't go to the nail salon monthly to get your nails redone, you're not girly.

6. You play almost every sport.

Rugby, softball, and lacrosse galore! Any sport you can get down and dirty for.

7. God made dirt so dirt don't hurt.

This phrase sometimes doesn't work for you. Mudding? Four wheeling? Or being outside in the rain is the most amazing thing.

8. You know your car.

You know the main maintenance when it comes to your car. How to check oil, tire pressure, and your radiator.

9. You're your own mechanic.

When your car needs an oil change you can do it alone. Change a tire? No problem!

10. You're not afraid of the mower.

Grass needs cut? Done. You can handle maintaining the outside of the house as well as inside.

11. Yes, you cook but you grill too.

Over fire or hot coals. Your outdoors cooking.

12. You're not scared to be 100% you.

Do you like that team? Do you like that TV series? That book? YOU BRAG ABOUT IT.

13. Eating in public is not scary.

You're not afraid of taking that bite of your burger, even if you have sauce on your face. You also don't mind chugging that drink or burping.

14. You don't worry about calories.

You eat when you're hungry with no regrets.

15. You're not afraid of creepy crawlies.

Bugs, ants, worms, and more. You pick them up or play with them.

16. You love all animals.

Horses, cats, dogs, snakes etc. They're cuties!

17. You don't live off of the Kardashians show.

Reality TV isn't your main focus. You don't live off of their updates.

18. You collect your favorite things and you're not scared to admit it.

You have comics, movies, books, shells, or bikes. You're proud of your collection and are always looking to expand it!

19. You're a tomboy, but you're not necessarily gay.

Tomboy doesn't mean your gay. You're being yourself comfortably.

20. You may be girly on somedays.

You may dress up, wear makeup, hate spiders, or even not like snakes. You are still not too girly!

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.
