I am an open book. The one out of the group who doesn't mind opening up to her friends about anything. I enjoy telling my best friends some of my deepest darkest secrets, but one thing I do not like is expressing my feelings to a guy.

Yes, I know. How can I be 21-years-old but cannot express my feelings to a guy? How can I open up to my friends about things, but cannot tell a guy that I like him? Let's just jump right into the story.

This guy just blew my mind. It wasn't all his looks that made me weak, it was actually his demeanor, intellect, and critiques that got me all fuzzy inside. Telling someone your feelings is never easy, especially if you do not know if they like you back. There's no time for games with guys though, they do not understand women and the hints that we give to them.

That was my biggest problem with "shooting my shot" with a guy. Shooting your shot with a guy means you're letting him know that you have an interest in him. It sounds small, but of course, it's way harder to admit your feelings for someone to their face.

Ladies, be bold.

The only way that he will get that sign to know you like him is if you tell him. Most guys are very oblivious to things and signals, so you cannot give hints and gestures to let them know that you like them. Be bold. Tell him how you feel, it may not be mutual, but at least you went out with a bang. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work out, you took the opportunity to release a deep feeling.

When shooting your shot, you have to have confidence. Build up your confidence first and then shoot it with him. Straight to the point is how you must shoot. My guy friends express that they prefer for women to tell them straight up about their feelings and intentions, instead of the guy always being the one to initiate every little pursuit. Don't be aggressive or weird, just naturally say what's up and leave it at that, ladies.

Social media shooting.

You can shoot your shot through social media via Twitter direct message or Instagram, but it's better if you do it in person. I know, you have to have guts to tell him to his face, but we are old enough to speak on how we will. Don't let social media restrict you from a potential relationship or friendship with someone. Also, in person expressions is better because you can read his response better than a social media response. You'll know if he is feeling you or not based upon his demeanor.

Ladies, I've failed twice at shooting my shot, but it's okay. I've learned to be bolder with my feelings instead of keeping them inside, which doesn't help anyone at all. You cannot control your feelings for someone, so you might as well let them flow away.

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.
