So, you've decided to get a tattoo! There are probably about a million thoughts running through your head about the process. Here's a glimpse into what went through my head when getting a tattoo for the first time!

1. OK, today's the day. I've been talking about getting a tattoo forever and I'm finally going to do it.

2. This tattoo shop is so cool, I am definitely the least cool person in here.

3. Look at all of the designs on the walls! Do people actually get these?

4. I'm starting to get super nervous, why did I think this was a good idea?

5. Maybe I should have a glass of water, that'll definitely calm me down.

6. How long have I been sitting here?

7. I love looking at all of the tattoos people have in here; I want to know why they got them.

8. OK, I'm still freaking out, let's have another cup of water.

9. And now I really have to pee.

10. I hope they don't call my name while I'm in the bathroom.

11. Phew, they didn't call my name.

12. Oh my god, they're calling my name!

13. Wait, how much is this going to cost??

14. It's worth the money. This is going to be on my body forever and I want to make sure it's done right.

15. I hope my artist doesn't judge me for my tattoo.

16. Side note: All of the artists are super hot. Is it a requirement to have a ridiculously good looking person tattoo people?

17. Oh my god, we're in the room now. Is it too late to change my mind?

18. She's putting the design on me. How much will she hate it if I change the placement a few times?

19. This is going to be on my body forever, I want to make sure it's perfect.

20. Ah! The placing looks great, let's do this!

21. She's turning on the needle, I might pee my pants.

22. This actually doesn't hurt that badly! I thought it would be so much worse.

23. Just kidding, ow! That was definitely right on my bone.

24. And now it doesn't hurt really anymore.

25. And we're done! I can't wait to see how it looks!!

26. What if it looks terrible?

27. What if I hate it in 20 years?

28. How much does tattoo removal cost?

29. Oh my god, it's perfect! I am so obsessed with this.

30. I will literally love it until the day I die.

31. It's being wrapped up now -- and I forgot to take a picture!

32. Well, I guess I'll stare at it tomorrow morning.

33. Wait, I didn't know I needed antibacterial soap and non-scented lotion. I guess I'm stopping at Target on the way home.

34. I feel so cool, I can't wait to show everyone!

35. I want another one!

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.
