"I Do."

They didn't say it'd be easy, but I never heard anything about it being this goddamn stupid.

"I Do."

"Men are so goddamn stupid. All they do is talk to hear themselves speak. Then they say something dumb that hurts your feelings and start trying to backtrack when you call them out.

Men are so goddamn stupid. I don't know why I ever thought to get myself involved with boys. I heard my mom talk about how inconsiderate they were, but I guess I had to see for myself.

Well, now I've seen all I've needed to, and I'd like to announce my retirement.

This speech, right here, is dedicated to all 23 of my boyfriends — each and every one of you did nothing for me. I've been thinking about how my life would be without all of y'all. I've come to the conclusion that if I would've put all my efforts into — I don't know, let's just say a job — I could be owning a multi-million dollar business by just about now. Man, you all have really wasted my time. Hey, but I'm the idiot that allowed this... this... nonsense.

That's all this really is anyways, nonsense.

No. 3 broke my heart sophomore year after cheating on me for five — yes, you heard right — five years.

No. 6 just liked how I looked, and that's all he will ever like so that's why he continues to call me even though there will be several years in between when I actually pick up.

No. 16 was supposed to be my best friend before anything else, but then I got "too emotional," so we couldn't be friends anymore. I didn't even care when he ducked out though. There were only 15 before him to prepare me for it.

No. 19 took me on the worst first date ever, yet for some reason, I continued to allow this. Man, I actually fell in love with No. 20 on accident... and now there's you babe.

You're now probably waiting for me to tell you how you are the exception, but you're not the exception.

No. 20 might've been, but you definitely are not. I know this is really early in our relationship, but sitting here next to you, I've just become very uncomfortable, and I've decided I just don't really want to do this anymore. And I don't feel apologetic for it."

She held her glass in the air and shouted,"To being single!" The audience's eyes were gaping, mouths at a loss for words, but she just sat down and started eating her spaghetti, not caring that the sauce was dripping onto her long, white dress.

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.
