Soccer moms are what's known as the American middle-class suburban mothers who usually spend their time going to their children's sporting events.

They're known as the "busiest" people who take every situation too seriously or to the extreme. These are some signs to watch if you're a soccer mom or not.

1. The go-to car is a minivan

Always... And I mean always, if you have a mini van, it's a giveaway that you're in a competition to be the best soccer mom in the world.

2. You scream from the top of your lungs

Shouting, grunting, jumping, all the tricks and maneuvers to get attention. Deep breathing and an angry face are a plus if you're a professional.

3. Bringing food to every activity you attend

The food choice is endless, from healthy snacks with water, to fruits with juice boxes. Hoarding them in your car, even in the spots that you'd never think of placing them in.

4. You always have a plan

There's an event and it's in two days? You're on top of it. Basically, you're the calendar that your friends always needed but never had.

5. Water is your best friend

You have dozens of water bottles, and spares just in case someone wants one. The recommended "drink 8 glasses of water a day" is a walk in the park for you.

6. Living with "that" typical name

50 points if you were born with a name like Deborah, Nancy, Pam, Helen & Karen. You're automatically placed in the Hall Of Fame of Soccer Moms with one of these "great" names.

7. You're a soccer fan

It sounds obvious, but that's the main part of being a "soccer mom". Footy, football, soccer, whatever the name.

8. You're known as the "taxi driver"

If anyone needs a lift, you're the first one to get a call. You're there on time, ready to pick someone up, basically the "free Uber guy".

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.
