I'm sure my tiara got lost in the mail.

13 Signs You, An American, Are Overly Obsessed With The British Royal Family
Jordan Reid

Yea, everyone loves the British royal family. You just love them a little bit more than the average person. It’s not weird, it’s just an unhealthy obsession with the aristocracy of a country you’re not a part of. Not weird at all.

1. You’ve watched ALL of the Netflix documentaries on British history.

And I do mean ALL of them. This means you probably have been known to tell your family and friends random facts about King Henry IIIV, but if they’ll thank you someday because that is USEFUL information.

2. You’ve re-watched "The Crown" at least twice.

Really, any show with British people in a historical setting is on your list, but this one is special.

3. You’ve forced yourself to like tea.

Nothing makes you feel more in touch with your inner-princess than pouring a nice “cuppa” and pretending like it’s as good as coffee.

4. You suddenly become a fashion expert when discussing any member of the family.

She just carries herself with such grace, and those colors really bring out her eyes, and that hairstyle perfectly frames her face, and I’m expecting a call from Fashion Police any day now.

5. Royal weddings are national holidays in your house.

People know not to try to make plans, or even speak to you, for that matter. This is a very special day for you and you plan on savoring every single minute with cake, tea, and tears.

6. You definitely have a current favorite member of the family.

Team Edward or Team Jacob? More like Team William or Team Harry! I’m not ashamed.

7. And you probably have a least favorite, too.

I’m not going to name names… but it’s Charles.

8. Kate Middleton is your fashion icon.

You can’t buy class, but you can google every picture of this woman in existence and try your best to copy it.

9. You’ve considered adopting a Corgi.

I could name them Cricket and Crumpet, and if I wear a lime green dress with matching hat, everyone would probably mistake me for the Queen.

10. Going to England is actually your dream.

I just wanna ride a double-decker bus past Big Ben and kiss the ground Prince Harry has walked on. I really don’t think that’s too much to ask.

11. You occasionally forget you’re not actually apart of the family... or the country.

It’s always a rude awakening you never see coming.

12. You’ve planned your own royal wedding in your head.

So I’m thinking a small ceremony of about 2,000 at West Minster Abbey, and instead of a dress, I would like to just cover my entire body in tiaras. Shouldn’t be a problem.

13. You were thrilled that Harry was marrying an American — until you discovered it was the wrong one.

Wait... it’s not me? There must have been a mistake I’d like to see a lawyer, please.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
