If you happen to be from the great Constitution State, you know these things are true.

1. Tools are useful.

If you happen to be from Connecticut, one of the first things you know to be true is that tools can be helpful. If you have a clogged sink, or broken chair, tools will help you fix those things. In fact, there is a law in CT stating that tools are people too, and that tools should be treated with respect. So overnight before you go to sleep, you must tuck your tools in first.

2. Dogs are cute.

This is especially unique to Connecticut. Often, dogs can be pet up to three times a day! Puppies are also very cute, so please don’t forget about those baby dogs. There is a law in Connecticut stating that dogs must always be wearing a hat. If they don’t they are considered naked, and that translates to public indecency, and dogs can be sued. So watch out.

3. Trucks are normally larger than cars.

The nutmeg state knows this fact well. Trucks can be very large, and cars, in comparison, can be very small. However, minivans can take up a lot of road as well. But those are normally for families. However, not always. We Connecticutters don’t know for sure who drives minivans and who doesn’t, and it’s not in our place to create laws for who can and cannot. There is a law in CT that says trucks require at least six bumper stickers in order to get a better understanding of who the person is that drives a truck.

4. Gravity is the universal law.

In Connecticut, gravity is applicable everywhere. From New Haven to Greenwich, gravity follows you everywhere in the state. When you throw a Pepe’s pizza in the air, it almost always comes down, unless it gets suck on the ceiling, but that is a rare occurrence. Apples from Bishops fall to the ground when they are over-ripe, or pulled down by a small child. When you’re in the insurance capital, Hartford, when you drop a pen after signing some insurance papers, it falls down. Hardly ever, in CT, is gravity not law. Sometimes there are anti-chambers, but that is uncommon. There is a law in CT that says that gravity is a law.

5. Rain is good and bad.

Rain is great when you want plants to grow. However, in CT, it really sucks if you want to walk around outside without getting wet. Unless you have a great rain jacket or umbrella, it is hard to avoid the rain in Connecticut if you happen to be in the fresh air. Rain is great, as mentioned above, for growing plants. Famers especially love rain. Also gardeners. Rain is when the sky cries, so when it rains, everyone is CT has to shed at least four tears. It’s a state law, thanks to Governor Dannel Molloy. Thanks, governor. Also, when it snows, it’s state law to freeze your tears, because snow is just frozen tears falling from the sky. Connecticut is full of very real scientific studies.

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.
