It's the weekend -- the days you've been waiting for since Monday morning. You have an array of things to fill your weekend: brunch with friends, shopping, reading a new book, starting a new Netflix series, exploring a neighborhood park, and of course -- going out. It's all fun and games while you're out and about with friends, meeting new people and enjoying drinks and music. But when do we ever talk about the preparation that goes into actually stepping out the door in your party dress? Before you go out, you have to get ready, and having experienced this process many times, it's not easy for us chicks.

1. This is how we women wish getting ready was like:

2. Easy-peasy, piece of cake. The goal is to walk away flawless, but before you feel confident enough to meet up with your friends in town, you hit a lot of snags. Your heating tool won't get hot. You have chipped nails that need a fresh coat of paint. Your eyeliner on your left eye is better than your right.

3. At several moments during your process of getting ready you want to chop off your hair when it doesn't cooperate.

4. You only wish that you had personal assistants and friends that could wait on you hand and foot.

5. But when you are getting ready with friends, you often get sidetracked while gossiping about the latest friend drama, which actually just makes it a lot harder to get ready.

6. Just before stepping out the door you use some finishing spray to set your makeup in place, knowing very well that it'll just sweat off in an hour.

7. You try to make your clothes as wrinkle-free as possible with the limited tools you have while side-stepping all the other outfits on the floor you just tried on.

8. You do a final jig to dry your nails; you're starting to get pumped for your night out.

9. You spruce up your hair one last time.

10. You take a few hundred selfies to get the right angle, which you never do.

11. And then you check the time and you're of course running late.

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.
