1. You are a firm believer in detailed lists of what you're doing that day.

2. Not only do you make lists, but you're a lover of planners.

3. You resent people who treat the trash can like a game of Jenga.

4. You understand that shoes do not belong where ever you remembered to take them off, they have an assigned seat.

5. You know that washing the dishes is good and all but if you don't wipe the sink off and wring out the sponge then you didn't do it right.

6. You can't eat the meal you cooked until the mess you made is cleaned up first, and after the meal, you go right back to cleaning.

7. Wet towels that are left balled up on the floor might as well be a knife in your heart.

8. You close the shower curtain to avoid mold.

9. There's a thing for dirty clothes called a hamper, and you know it isn't the floor.

10. You don't leave dirty dishes in your room because you value your safe space.

11. Additionally, you would never leave half-eaten food in your room because that's just sinful.

12. When people casually ask you what's on the agenda, you actually have a written agenda.

13. You've created a specific way to organize your books and any other way is just wrong.

14. When people pick your belongings up and put them down at the wrong angle they might as well just throw it on the floor.

15. If someone makes the bed for you, you're definitely grateful, but you're going to remake it once they leave the room.

16. The moment someone tells you they haven't washed their sheets in a while you make a mental note never to lay on their bed.

17. You have hand sanitizer in your room, purse, backpack, car, boot, best friend's bag (you put it in their secretly), work desk, etc.

18. You squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom of the tube because you care about dental hygiene.

19. The moment you find a dried up toothpaste worm waiting on you like an ax murderer in a closet you're ready to start a full-on investigation to find out who would disrespect you like this.

20. You can't remember sitting directly on a public toilet seat in your adult lifetime.

21. It ticks you off when people leave the couch without reorganizing the cushions and pillows like the couch ever did something that rude to them.

22. You have a special hatred ingrained into your soul when people put a jug with half an inch of milk in the fridge like anyone was craving exactly no more than half an inch of milk.

23. You've left passive aggressive notes asking people to avoid making a mess.

24. A party is not a party until you've spent half of it picking up after people and stressing out about anyone spilling drinks.

25. When people don't eat with a plate a spill crumbs everywhere, you know it's because they hate you.

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. 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.
