We're too optimistic, I guess.

Sex education sucks.

Not in the sense that it's boring and disgusting; I know we all thought that when they projected penises with STDs in health class. But that our knowledge of it is piss poor. You think you know it all? You'd be surprised how many people go into their 20's still believing some of the things below.

1. Pulling out works!

Just stop right there. Don't lie to yourself; your man does not have "good timing." You angle yourself slightly to the left and next thing you know you look like a Twinky. Just the truth.

2. Shower sex is erotic

There's no room. We're sliding everywhere and I don't have anything to hold my balance with. Speaking of showers, this leads to my next one..

3. Water = Lube

NOOO. Water actually dries out the area more! And a public service announcement: do not use soaps/shampoos for intercourse to make things "more slippery" as you can make yourself prone to infection!

4. Trying new things is easy

Fun? Sure..after you get the kinks out. (pun intended) But seriously, you might find yourself wondering why this is going so horribly wrong when it looked good in that one porn video you watched.

5. Sex takes FOREVER

For heterosexual intercourse, you're only looking at a time slot of about 10 minutes. That's not even an entire segment of a Spongebob episode.

6. Changing positions is flawless

You'll probably end up looking like you're doing some crab walk type of motion. Or just laying there in defeat because let's be honest, this is the only kind of exercise you get.

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.
