If I had an Amazon Echo or a Google Home, I just know for a fact that I would ask it ridiculous questions. In the commercials, there is always a family using Alexa/Google Home to come closer as a family, but we all know that's not exactly how it would go.

I'd definitely ask it things I search on Google on a daily basis and random questions that pop into my head while I'm in the shower or laying around watching Netflix. I know I'm not the only one. Here are some questions I'd probably ask my Alexa/Google Home if I had one:

1. "Play that song by that Scottish band that goes da da da da da da da da. You know what I'm talking about,"

I doubt she'd catch that I was asking to listen to 500 Miles, but it's worth a shot.

2. "Can cats eat cucumbers?"

I'm pretty sure I'd ask a million variations of this question in my time of owning an Alexa/Google Home because my cats always try to eat my food.

3. "How long do green beans last?"

This question would definitely come while I was looking through my fridge.

4. "How many oz are in a shot glass?"

But seriously, why do alcohol recipes come by ounces or any other unit than "a shot"? Who takes the time to measure out 1.4 oz of Blue Curacao for their margarita? Serial killers.

5. "What does the year on someone's Facebook profile mean?"

Has anyone noticed that? Can anyone answer this?

6. "Why do cats wiggle their butts before they jump?"

This question would probably come from my boyfriend who thinks cats are a mystery.

7. "What should I make for dinner?"

I hate when I can't decide what I have a taste for. It's better if someone else tells me what to make sometimes. I'd probably follow that up with: "How do I substitute for minced garlic?"

8. "Tell me a joke."

9. "What's the weather going to be today?"

Okay, but this one is actually relevant and would help while getting ready in the morning.

10. "When will my package be here?"

I should have UPS tracking bookmarked on my laptop because I swear I always have some kind of package being shipped.

11. "Should I go out tonight?"

Sometimes you need some convincing and/or reassurance that you've made the right choice (to stay in of course).

12. "Are we friends?"

Don't they get to know you and collect data on you? They have to know you best, right?

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.
