1. Waiting For Your Show To Come On But It Doesn't Air That Week

You settle down on the couch on a Friday night and tune into your favorite show's channel 15 minutes before the show starts. You sit there watching the remnants of the current show, with excitement over the episode you are about to watch. And the show starts to come in! But wait. It's a documentary. You google your show, and find out they skipped airing an episode for this week.

2. When You Forget Your Username/Password

You go to log into your account. You are about to type your username and password, and you space out. You forgot again. Now, you have to go through the trouble of resetting your information through email. And when you go to log into your email, you forget your password again.

3. Tangled Apple Headphones

.... You take your headphones out of your pocket, planning to listen to music. You look at them. You put them back in your pocket because it simply isn't worth the time to untangle them.

4. Forgetting to Charge Your Phone

Ahh, what a refreshing night of sleep! You get out of bed, take your phone, and do your daily routine. On the way to work or school, you glance at your phone to check the time. And it's dead. You forgot to charge your phone again, and you contemplate how much of an idiot you are.

5. When You Almost Reach Your Destination But You Forgot Something

You're only 5 minutes away! The birthday party of your friend that you are going to is gonna be lit. BOOM! You forgot a gift. You are incredibly annoyed by the inconvenience of you being so forgetful. You have two choices: A. Head back to your house with a 30-minute drive to get the gift you forgot, or B. Drive to the nearest store and get a gift card. You will choose option B 9 times out of 10. And you'll be down 25 bucks.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
