11 Gifs That Capture The Horror Of Seeing A Spider

Have you ever walked into a room and known something else was in there? You carefully take a step forward, looking all around, and there it is. An eight-legged monster peacefully clinging to the wall.

Do you flip out and run away? Or do you attack?

Spiders are terrifying creatures that I'm sure many people would happily live without. Even if you try to avoid them at all costs, they have a habit of appearing out of nowhere. If you are as terrified of them as Ron Weasley, these are likely the stages you go through when encountering the hideous beasts.

1. The moment you first see the spider.

You notice the nasty thing hanging out on the wall and you have to fight the urge to run away.

2. You start trash-talking to overcome your fear.

3. Then it starts moving.

Staying calm is no longer possible when you know it's coming for you.

4. You realize no one is around to kill it for you.

One of the worst parts about being an adult is knowing you can't call your parents to get rid of bugs for you.

5. You find protection in case it attacks.

There's no way it's falling in your hair or shirt. Nope.

6. You work up the nerve to kill it.

It's up to you to face your fears. It's you or the spider.

7. Since you're not a ruthless murderer, you give it fair warning.

8. Then, you unleash your battle cry.

Some people might call it screaming in terror, but you tell yourself you're being threatening.

9. You attack it with all of your force.

You have to make sure there's no way it will survive.

10. You have a moment of peace, thinking you killed it, but it starts moving again.

It must be immortal. You took multiple steps to ensure its annihilation. But. It. Won't. Die.

11. There's nothing left to do except run.

12. And keep running.

Just until you know it can't get to you anymore.

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.
