Just recenetly I turned 20 and in leaving my teens I realized that being 20 is quite weird. So here are 20 weird things about turning twenty:

1. You are no longer a teenager, but not quite an adult.

2. You still can't legally drink.

3. Age differences now seem much more significant.

4. People are more willing to drink with you (It hasn't stopped you so far).

5. There are celebrities and geniuses your age and younger who are worth and have accomplished more

6. You've been an adult for two years but are you really?

7. People you went to high school with are married now.

8. People you've known your entire life have joined unions.

9. Kids younger than you have three kids.

10. I say kids because you still are a kid.

11. Do any of your friends really know how to adult?

12. Your ancestors were married by now...you think you should be too but like, no.

13. If you go to college you probably still live at home with on and off periods.

14. You still think grocery shopping is weird but you still do it.

15. You finally know "the ropes".

16. You wanna start dating other people in your twenties.

17. (But you still can't legally drink).

18. Your whole birthday is just weird now... you feel old.

19. You're getting closer to your dreams!

20. You've been alive for two whole decades, lived through four presidents and that's weird.

You feel like an adult but you still aren't sure if you qualify. This whole age is just being stuck in the middle, but you're finally out of your teens and much closer to your dreams. Just another awkward stage to get through. You got this, I believe in you lovely. Rock your twenties.

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.
