Everything that you've ever touched will probably become lost at some point....

Just recently, I spent a good hour and a half looking for my phone, only to discover that it had been in my sweatshirt pocket the entire time. If this sounds like something you would do, then you fit alongside me into a unique category of people who lose everything. It's always the items that we need on a daily basis that we continue to lose, like our car keys, credit cards, phone, and wallet. No matter what the item is, chances are you've probably lost it at some point.

1. You are always late because you can't leave the house without your car keys (which 9/10 times are lost).

2. You've spent endless minutes looking for something that ended up being in your hand or right in front of you the whole time.

3. You probably have that short prayer to St. Anthony who is the patron saint of lost or stolen articles memorized by now. But just incase you don't, "Tony, Tony, please come around, something is lost that now must be found."

4. You tear apart your entire room looking for stuff you've lost so you're room is never clean.

5. People always nag you to use the find my iPhone feature but you claim you have no need for it.

6. You sometimes accuse your roommates of stealing your stuff because how could you possibly lose something as simple as a t- shirt.

7. You have to trust your friends to hold onto all of your valuables whenever you go somewhere public.

8. You love petite wallets and purses but you can't use them because you'll probably lose them along with all the valuables that you'll keep inside.

9. Your parents refuse to buy you nice things because they know that you will lose them.

10. So then you steal your siblings stuff...but then eventually, you lose that, too.

11. On more than one occasion you have lost a $20 bill that you thought was in your pocket the whole time.

12. One thing you definitely don't lose is food.

13. You never watch TV because you can never find the remote.

14. At least, you're good at hide n' seek and scavenger hunts.

15. In edition to losing objects, you always lose track of the time which only makes you more late for things.

16. You've decided that you will try to be more careful and conscious of where you put things, but let's be real, you are never aware.

17. You've lost something that wasn't yours and have had to have that extremely awkward, "I'm really, really sorry and I feel terrible but I lost your...." conversation.

18. Now your friends know better then to let you borrow their stuff.

19. If someone leaves something at your house chances are that they will never see it again.

20. You can locate every single lost and found on campus.

21. The person in charge of the lost and found room/box knows your first name. "Hey Hannah, what did you lose this time?"

22. You can't help but wonder how skinny you would be if losing weight was as easy as losing all your belongings.

23. When people call you a loser you have a hard time actually disagreeing with them.

24. Losing all this stuff occasionally leads to you losing your mind.

Yes, you always have that habit of losing things but at least, you can say that you have never lost your sense of pride? Right? From loss, we are able to learn the value of things. Also on the bright side, it is impossible for you to lose this article.

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.
