I'll admit it...I'm a pretty heavy drinker. I like to drink approximately 6 bottles a day.

If I don't, I feel super lightheaded and discombobulated. I know I out drink all of my friends and family daily. Because who in their right mind consumes so much? Some people say I have a problem, but to them I say have you ever tried to be incredibly hydrated?

Oh yeah, and I'm talking about water.

What did you think I was talking about? ;)

1. You drink way more than the required amount.

Yeah, yeah, I know that the required amount is 8 glasses, but I still feel dehydrated if I drink that. I like to drink approximately 7-8 bottles a day. This leads me to my next point...

2. Your friends laugh at you when you say you're dehydrated. 

"How can you be dehydrated when you drank 3 bottles today?!" "Well Carol, I haven't gotten my required 7-8 bottles today now have I? So I'm about to pass out from dehydration here."

3. You always have to pee.

It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. My friends anticipate the 4 dreaded words: "I have to pee." We then have to stop what we are doing to find the nearest bathroom. My bladder waits for no one.

"Are you sure you have to pee? You just went 5 minutes ago!" "I just finished bottle 5 so the answer is yes...very badly."

4. Your worst nightmare is bathroom lines at parties.

What are you to do when you have to pee so bad, and there are at least 6 people in front of you for the makeshift bathroom line? Well you don't want to pee all over the floor at Apple Sigma Pie do you?

5. This extends to car rides too.

"Can you just wait until the next exit? Or until we make it another half hour? We just stopped!"

"Well Mom, do you want me to pee in this car?"

"Fine your father will find you the nearest rest stop."

"Thank you, and bless your soul."

6. You are always running low on water.

"Do you need more stuff for school when I come to visit?"

"Water...lots of water. I'm almost out."

"But we sent up a case with your friends a week ago."

"And?"

7. It worries you when there is a "no water" policy in class. 

"I'm not going to make it. Taylor, if I don't make it, please remember me."

Or

"Oh no! What if I get parched?!" "But Sarina, this class is only 50 minutes." "And your point is?"

8. You hate when sporting events do not allow you to bring in water.

"So you're telling me that I can't bring these 4 water bottles into the game? So, I have to pay $25 because 5 bottles x $5 per bottle?"

9. Every time you see a bathroom, you make sure to go just in case.

If I ever pass a bathroom, I go just in case I don't see another bathroom anytime soon. What if I end up in the middle of nowhere with NO bathrooms for miles?!

10. At least you know you won't die from dehydration.

People, feel free to make fun of me to your heart's content, but at least one of us isn't going to drop dead due to dehydration.

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.
