Our generation loves crime shows. "NCIS", "CSI", "Forensic Files", "How To Get Away With Murder", "Making A Murderer" fascinate us. These shows have taught us a lot. Here are15 steps in order to commit the perfect crime:

1.) Have a plan.

Get in and get out as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

2.) Always wear gloves OR don't touch anything.

You'll leave fingerprints and DNA.

3.) Don't leave a paper trail.

The police will follow the money.

4.) Destroy all evidence.

Get rid of all of it.

5.) Make sure to do a sweep right before you leave to make sure that you didn't leave anything behind.

Make sure that there isn't anything left behind that can place you at the scene.

6.) Don't talk to the police without a lawyer.

Know your Miranda Rights.

7.) Beware of security cameras.

These cameras will place you somewhere and track your movements.

8.) Be random with your target.

The police will be able to link you more easily if you know your target(s).

9.) Don't be distinct.

Be as average looking as possible.

10.) Wear shoes that aren't your actual size.

Forensic science can calculate your height and weight based off of your shoes

11.) Destroy the clothes that you were wearing during your perfect crime.

Fibers and DNA can stay on clothing and it can be seen on cameras that can be used to identify you.

12.) Don't be an idiot.

Think.

13.) Don't use your car unless completely necessary.

Cars are so identifiable.

14.) Always have an alibi.

Put yourself somewhere else.

15.) Lastly and most importantly, don't commit crimes!

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.
