Have you ever wondered: if my relationship were an ice cream, what kind would it be? If not, I'll bet you are now! Whether you're still admiring from afar or you've practically written your wedding vows, there's an ice cream flavor for every level of love. Which one are you?

1. The Crush Stage: 'Confetti Cake'

The very first stage: the moment you set your sights on your romantic prospect. It's truly an occasion worth celebrating, which is why Ben & Jerry's 'Confetti Cake' is the perfect ice cream for the job. You know you've caught the feels when talking to the subject of your admirations incites a rose tinted confetti party in your head. It's obvious this person is the whole package: cake, ice cream, and frosting all in one.

2. Flirts And Dates: 'Brownie Batter Core'

At this point, you want to get to the real core of your dream girl/guy. Ideally, they have a gooey brownie batter core that's as tantalizing as their outer appearance- after all, who cares about the packaging when what's inside is so delicious? Getting to know a person can be as hard as ice cream straight out of the freezer, but if you're patient, you'll melt their heart.

3. DTR: 'Everything But The...'

Defining the relationship — a confusing time for all parties involved. Like this ice cream, your feelings may be all over the place — a mix of everything you could think of. Your thoughts are collisions of uncertainty. How does your peanut butter cup view the relationship? But once you get past all that nuts, there's no fudgin' way you'll be apart.

4. The Honeymoon Stage: 'Cinnamon Buns'

You've just begun your relationship and everything is sweet as cinnamon. Like your significant other, you can never get tired of a good cinnamon roll- and combined with a caramel base? You two are a match made in Vermont. Make sure you don't overdo it, dough. You could end up in sugar overload.

5. The Old Couple Stage: 'Chubby Hubby'

After the honeymoon stage, your relationship might calm down a bit, or become more 'vanilla' like the 'Chubby Hubby' ice cream base. Fortunately, after being together for awhile, you're more comfortable being your (pea)nutty self — and your chubby hubby will appreciate you for it.

6. The Breakup :( 'Chocolate Therapy'

This one goes without saying... Ben & Jerry's therapy is crucial after a breakup, and there's nothing like a triple chocolate threat to put you back on your feet. It's understandable to feel like crying a chocolate river worthy of Wonka when things don't work out, but sometimes that's just how the cookie crumbles. When your heart feels as mushy as swirls of chocolate pudding, this is the pint you'll reach for.

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.
