Throw yourself back seven years ago... you’re 13, and you just had the WORST day at school. You had a math test, Tori wore the same outfit as you (as if you didn’t already HATE Tori enough), your mom mixed up your lunch with your little sister’s so you had to eat a bread-and-cheese sandwich instead of your usual PB&J, and, to top it all off, Jake doesn’t like you back!!!

Thankfully, however, this day from hell is over. All you want to do now is sit on the bus in peace (given those eighth graders in the backseat decide not to shoot Olivia’s tampons at the driver’s head this afternoon) for the next 20 minutes with your iPod nano and think about the day, and what nasty thing you’re going to post on Facebook about Tori without actually mentioning her name. And, chances are, these songs are ALL bound to be gracing your earbuds.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
