  1. Your mom’s opinion about boys matters. Sometimes it changes over time, but usually their first thought is always right.
  2. Eating everything in sight is perfectly okay, especially if you are constantly walking around your small town in heels.
  3. Getting into your top choice of college shouldn't have been that big of a deal.
  4. Everything is fun when you can wear cute outfits: for example, sports, outdoor activities, auctions, and eventful dates.
  5. You don’t have to make everyone happy.
  6. Pop culture is a big deal. TV shows and movies should not be taken lightly.
  7. There’s no such thing as too much coffee.
  8. You can have wild dreams and sometimes go through with them and sometimes not. Like Kirk having an extremely long resume.
  9. Your mom will always be your best friend.
  10. Getting up early is not something that needs to be in your daily routine.
  11. Re-gifting is easier to spot than you think, and when you receive gifts you hate you can just hide them away until that person comes to visit.
  12. Sometimes being blunt opens people’s eyes or just drives people away.
  13. Being obsessed with music is a great thing.
  14. It’s okay to stay in and watch movies instead of going to a party.
  15. Worrying about school is normal.
  16. Don’t talk to strangers, unless you want to be suckered into watering their lawn and exotic plants.
  17. When life gets tough it’s okay to just get up and go somewhere to clear your head.
  18. It’s okay if you don’t have your entire life planned out.
  19. Sometimes what you do makes a big impact on someone else’s life.
  20. Being impatient gets things done faster.
  21. There is always a witty response to anything.
  22. Sometimes you need to let go and have a drink or two to forget about all the stress in your life.
  23. Relationships are hard.
  24. Breakups can be fun.
  25. Life is a roller coaster.
  26. You should do what you want because “YOLO.”
  27. That one special person is out there, and they may even be right in front of your eyes.
  28. Gilmore Girls taught me more about life than school did and I will be forever thankful for watching it over and over again on Netflix and DVD.

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.
