Huffington Post

As females, there are a couple of things that we just excel at. However, strange they may be, there’s no denying that some of them come in handy. When at concerts, parties, in the car, or even at home, we tend to find the solution to day-to-day issues, and sometimes even impress our male counterparts in the process. The following is a list of skills that are vital for day-today girl situations.

1.) Applying makeup in a moving vehicle

2.) Changing clothes in tight spaces (ex. a port-o-lav or the trunk of a car)

3.) Fitting you and your four friends into the bathroom

4.) Getting to the front of most lines

5.) Holding things on your hip

6.) Walking over drainage grates in heels

7.) Taking four hours to get ready

8.) Taking .5 seconds to get into sweats after coming home

9.) Holding your phone in your bra

10.) Refusing a date, drink, or ride

11.) Retying a broken hair tie and using it

12.) Putting on lip stain without a mirror

13.) Matching your clothes in the dark, as to not wake your roommate or significant other

14.) Dry shaving without cutting yourself

15.) Changing shirts without taking one off

16.) Going to the bathroom outside

17.) Sleeping with freshly painted nails and not messing them up

18.) Using your friend’s sunglasses as a mirror

19.) Carrying around a 40 pound purse

20.) Picking underwear off of the floor with our toes.

21.) Contouring almost every inch of our body.

22.) Doing yoga with our cat.

23.) Sitting in the most “un-lady-like” ways.

24.) Eating just as much as our dad, brother, or boyfriend.

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.

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.
