8 Reasons Why You Should Be Proud To Be Weird

People always tell me that I am so weird. Maybe because I would sprint across campus just because I think it would be fun, or maybe because I would start dancing whenever I hear music no matter where I'd be.

Even though there is nothing wrong with being different, everyone tries to fit in because it's scary to be judged. Weird people are weird because they don't care what people think of them, and are being true to themselves. And being true to yourself is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself. If someone tells you that you're weird, you should be proud.

If you are weird, you're not just weird but also:

1. You Know Yourself Well

To be you, you must know you. You know what makes you happy and know what your opinion is. You are a great decision maker because you know you.

2. You Are Curious and Adventurous

Maybe you know how to ride a unicycle, play musical instruments, speak a couple languages, or how to bartend. Maybe you've been to different countries and seen other cultures. Because you are not afraid of doing something that's not normal, you've done a lot and would love to learn more!

3. You Are Funny

At a party, it's not that fun to look at people playing beer-pong, but it's fun to look at someone dancing like no one is watching! People will laugh at you and you laugh at yourself too because you are fun.

4. You Don't Mind Being By Yourself

Some people can't go to a cafeteria alone because they think that everyone is judging them, but that's not you. Some people can't even register for classes without their friends but that's also not you; you take whatever you want to take. Keep doing you!

5. You Don't Judge People

If you don't care what others say about you, why would you say something about others? You are open minded and accepting because that's what you had to be to accept your own self.

6. You Understand That Not Everyone Has To Like You

It's a fact. Haters gonna hate. Not everyone has the same taste as yours. If you think you are great, then you are great!

7. Your Friends Will Be Your True Friends

Because you are always yourself, honest and not shady, your friends trust you and appreciate how fun you are.

8. You Can Choose To Smile

Because you won't let anyone bring you down, you are in charge of how you feel. You are one of the strongest people

Stay weird and keep being you!

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.
