You Know You're A Golfer When...
Swing Strength

1. You think that golf shoes are the coolest sports shoes because they're basically Oxford cleats.

I mean let's be real. You could meet the President in these shoes. (Not that you actually would. You wouldn't risk damaging those snazzy cleats)

2. Furthermore, golf is, hands down, the most stylish sport.

Look at those guys. They're ready to check in at the Ritz.

3. It might also be the snobbiest.

"Quarter mil says you can't make par on this hole."
"Half mil and you've got yourself a bet."

4. But no matter who you are, you probably have a golf tan.

These are real people. Golf tans are legit, guys.

5. And no matter what you're doing, where you are, fore means heads up!!

Even with the professionals. Check it out here (with the sound ON). And even with the professionals it's just as embarrassing when hoards of fans have to scamper away screaming as they part like the Red Sea.

6. This is your worst fear...except with humans

That is the face of pure horror.

7. Screaming "I got an eagle!" doesn't mean you're a super-patriot.

It just means you're a super-golfer...get it?

8. This was you at one point

You've learned a lot from that day.

9. Now look at you

That's the kind of shot you have to whistle and make a visor with your hand for

10. Just kidding, this is probably you.

On the daily.

11. Like, same.

"Hm. Well. Would you look at that, Shirley. How in the world..."

12. Speaking of, you know how to fix a divot like a pro.

"Oops. Darn. Nobody saw that. Lemme just fill it in real quick. Pat it down like a pro. Don't worry, fans, I meant to do that. Just practicing my divot filling in skills."

13. You often want to kill yourself.

"Not. Again. Darn. It. Nobody saw it. Nobody saw it. Deep breaths. You're better than this."

14. Honestly, same

Who hasn't wanted to rip apart their golf glove like a wild animal??

15. I feel that.

"Oh, look. The ball fizzled out just like my dreams of becoming a professional golfer."

16. You have a ~routine~

"Nope. Almost there. Wait! I missed it. Sorry. The club's not ready yet. The grips not right. There we go. Almost there. Nope."

17. Sometimes it's a little extreme

"Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Oooh, God. Okay look at the bird over there. Keep it together, Larry. You are a caddy, for goodness sake."

18. Golfers are superstitious OKAY??

You okay, Charles??

19. Golf etiquette is a serious thing

Repair. Your. Ball. Marks.

20. There are the spoken rules.

Please, for the love of God, rake out your footprints!!

21. Then there are the unspoken ones.

22. You beg people to take care of the golf course so it can look like this all the time and be absolutely beautiful.

*Angels descend from Heaven* *Trumpets blare* *The clouds part and holy light shines down upon the pin*

23. You know the Brians...

Just watch it.

24. From the Tigers...

Just by their stance. And how obnoxious they are.

25. But you also know that everyone has their bad days.

Tip: watch it with the sound ON.

26. And their unlucky days.

I have no words for this except...I'm so sorry.

27. You've got golf smarts.

You actually go inside when the clubhouse sounds the siren.

And you're smart enough not to be the guy driving the RC car.

28. And, finally, you know you're a golfer when it's actually fun!

So go out there and have fun!

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.
