We look at each other with those lover's eyes when we should be paying attention to the lectures. I miss out on my notes to watch you. You dance around the classroom so effortlessly. I love when you curl your feet to get ready.

I can see past you, I just choose not to. I want to fall in love, I'm like a virgin. I've been serious with some others but it never stuck. I want to take my chances with you.

I hate your superficial tendencies. You criticize everyone they are talking, even me. You make me feel both special or ordinary. I can't be mad at it, it's just how you are. I won't try to change you; that's not what I'm here for. You're always bitter, but you open yourself up to me on rare occasions.

I want to share intimacies with you inside my room, even if my roommate is in town. I just want to see your shadow, and how it relates to my own. I want to be yours, I hope that you want to be mine too, it is a gamble. I want to dance with you, even if my heart gets broken by the music.

I want to stay up until the morning; we can wear pajamas and eat Chinese food. You don't need to wear make up with me, you're beautiful no matter who you are around.

You talked to me and asked if I had a girlfriend, pointing to the hickies on my neck. You wanted to hear if there was someone I was invested in. You put your number in my phone, with a green heart next to your name.

I haven't changed it since then, because I hope it'll mean something someday.

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.
