White lies, twisted truths, it's all the same, right?

11 Alternative Facts We've All Told

Sean Spicer and I probably have nothing in common except that we both like to tell alternative facts. I don't have my own personal Kellyanne Conway to cover for me but that's fine because I am perfectly capable of lying on my own--thank you very much! In my own tacky fashion I present to you the most common white lies I've told others and myself.

1. I can't go out.

Well, I technically have plans with myself. What I should have said was "I do not want to go out...ever."

2. I never got that text.

I have never told someone this (I think) but I've heard it a few times.

3. We should hang out sometime.

Ugh I want this one to be true but we all know I'll never see you again.

4. I'll go to the gym later

The fupa wants what the fupa wants and it's not cardio.

5. I love this haircut!

You tell this to your hairdresser and then you cry all the way home.

6. I have nothing to wear

Bitch, look again.

7. When someone compliments you so you immediately compliment them back.

"I like your dress." "UH. I LIKE YOUR SHOES." It's not a contest. I didn't even know that you were wearing shoes.

8. I will be productive today

But that means that I would have to get out of bed and I'm not ok with that.

9. I'm fine

If you ask me how I am, I'm not going to tell you my life's story. We don't have time for a whole sit down.

10. Yes I've read the Terms and Conditions.

I've maybe glanced at it once?

11. I'll never drink again.

I'm talking coffee of course!

Was Trump's inauguration the most watched ever? No. Do I want to eat baguettes until I explode? Yes. It's all good though.

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.
