12 Struggles Of A Cheerleader, As Told By 'Bring It On'
Today Show

Growing up as a cheerleader, you experience more struggles than ever imaginable. Whether it's because of falling, breaking a bone, getting kicked out of practice, or dealing with the attitudes of teammates or rivals, cheerleading isn't all sparkles and smiles. Luckily "Bring It On" knows exactly what we feel.

Here are the daily struggles of a cheerleader, as told by the classic cheerleading movie:

1. When your coach tells you (multiple times) that you're replaceable.

2. When you save a stunt that should've fallen.

3. When people say, "Cheerleading isn't a sport."

4. When choreography runs into your lunch break.

5. When you don't do well at a competition.

6. The spirit stick... enough said.

7. When you have practice, two exams, homework, and no time for sleep.

8. When you have to deal with the attitudes of your rival.

9. When your coach says "last full out" but you know that really means 20 more full outs.

10. When you're on a co-ed team.

11. When your teammate calls out of practice sick so your stunt can't go up.


12. When your coach kicks you out of practice for one fall.


But, through all the struggles, you wouldn't trade it for the world.

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.
