Amy has a lot of insight to offer us. From losing to the moon, from Tina Fey to Parks and Rec, Amy covers it all. She's been through life and she has learned from life. While very humorous, what we learn from Amy is still sound advice. Let her embarrassments and mistakes be a lesson to us all.

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.

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.
