Each year, millions of students graduate from high school and embark on the next chapter of their lives. Whether it's for work, leisure, or college, people jump all over the country. Regardless of the path you choose and where you might end up, you can never shake your New England roots, no matter how hard you might try.


1. You're probably not a good driver. Don't take it personally, it's just in your nature to be atrocious. You'll cut people off, swear, tailgate, and honk. Embrace it.

2. You take all your sports very seriously and will argue with anyone who tries to bash any New England team. It's not that you're arrogant, you just happen to have the best sports teams in the country. Also, Sundays are reserved for the Patriots and God (Tom Brady).

3. You constantly hear people laugh and exclaim, "She said it! She said it!" whenever the word wicked escapes your mouth.

4. The fact that it hasn't snowed in Tampa Bay since Dec 23, 1989 doesn't deter you from keeping an ice scraper in the trunk of your car. Better safe than sorry.

5. Unlike the entire population of Vineyard Vines clad boys at your school, you know where the brand actually comes from. Odds are you've even been there.

6. You think it's hysterical to see native Floridians walking around in their North Face parkas, especially while you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

7. The fact that there aren't at least three Dunkin Donuts in walking distance really irritates you. Also, why does no one know what a regular 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.
