To most people, St. Louis seems like a completely different world. But to us, our quirks are better than other city's quirks. Here are ten quirks only a true St. Louisan will know.

1. It's Bread Co, not Panera

The first Panera originated in St. Louis and was called the St. Louis Bread Company. Another company then bought Bread Co, making the chain widespread and changing the name. However, in St. Louis, the name is still Bread Co.

2. Provel cheese is the best cheese

Provel is a special blend of white cheddar, mozarella, and provolone, that is seriously heaven. St. Louis style pizza is made with provel, and honestly it's the best pizza.

3. "What high school did you go to?"

Seriously, where you went to high school is a big deal. Every high school has a stereotype, and where you went to high school says a lot about yourself.

4. You're a part of the best fan base in sports

Cardinals and Blues fans are seriously the best fans in sports. Almost every game is sold out, we cheer like crazy, and we will support our teams no matter what. Our athletes say it, and even other teams say it: we are the best fan base in sports.

5. We invented some of the best food

Ever heard of toasted raviolis or gooey butter cake? Yeah, they were invented here and are staples on almost every menu throughout the city.

6. The best place to get ice cream is obviously Ted Drew's

Technically it's frozen custard, but it's seriously the best ice cream and is a true St. Louis staple. This place is PACKED after every Cardinals and Blues game, and was recently voted the best ice cream in the world.

7. Most of us don't really live in St. Louis, we live in the suburbs

I don't really live in the city of St. Louis, but I always say that's where I'm from because it's easier than saying your county and having people give you a confused look because they have no idea where that is.

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.
