They say there are three basic necessities that a human needs to survive: Food, Water, and Goodwill. Goodwill is a safe haven for all cheap shopaholics like me. I love the feeling of buying one thousand items and merely breaking a twenty.

For fellow Goodwill obsessed shoppers like me, I praise you for recycling clothing and having a keen and sharp eye for the finer things in life. There is nothing quite like going into Goodwill and finding the deal of a lifetime. I don't know about you all, but I will most likely still shop at Goodwill even if I won the lottery.

Honestly, it's not about shopping...it's about the hunt and the search for the best deals. So for all you Goodwill addicts, please relate to me and my unhealthy obsession.

1. You have frequently gone to your local Goodwill so much that you've memorized the clothes.

There have been times where I would go into my local Goodwill and know what clothes are new, and what ones have been sitting there for a couple weeks. Oops.

2. You have been to two or more Goodwills on a given day.

Sometimes I would be guilty of visiting one city and the next, and I always make it a priority to stop at each city's Goodwill.

3. You donate clothes on separate days just to get multiple "$5 off $20" coupons.

I am not sure if all Goodwills do this, but at the ones near me, you can get Goodwill coupons if you donate (cue me dropping off one box of clothing a day to get the max number of coupons).

4. The employees recognize you.

Yes, I am a regular. No, I am not ashamed.

5. The majority of your closet came from Goodwill.

I just love to show others how little I paid for this gorgeous dress!

6. You feel a special joy when you buy a piece of clothing with the colored tag of the day.

Half off and 99 cent Sundays? Sign me up!

7. You've trained yourself to memorize clothing brands, and you can tell exactly which store a shirt came from.

Xhilaration? Target. Lauren Conrad? Kohl's. Worthington? J.C. Penny's. The list goes on and on.

8. You visit Goodwill at least once a week.

You always got to keep on top of the deals!

9. Your idea of a fun day with friends or a date is thrift shopping at Goodwill.

It's like looking at an antique museum...except you can buy the artifacts!

10. You spend at least an hour or two every time you shop to make sure you have checked every crevice for clothes that you missed, or for clothes that just came out of the back.

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.
