I've started to notice something the further I go into this whole writing thing.

There are a lot of stupid/poorly written headlines in the world. As someone who writes multiple articles a week, I get it. Creating a good headline is hard. It takes wit, creativity, and a thorough knowledge of language and word usage.

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.
