You Know You're Getting Old When...

You realize your throwback, hit songs like "Yeah!" by Usher and "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dog came out 12 years ago.



You were raised with textbooks that said Pluto was a planet.



You know who Chris Crocker is. 



You have to make a LinkedIn account. 



You find out the adorable christmas movie, The polar express, which you assumed was a more recent christmas tale, debuted 11 years ago. 


You realize the romantic classic, The Notebook, that stole your heart in middle school came out over 10 years ago. 



You proudly say NSYNC and Backstreet Boys are the true boybands, not One Direction.



Your childhood role-model and coolest girl on Disney, Hilary Duff, is now 27, married, and has children.



You see that Nickelodeon now plays your once favorite cartoons, such as Rocket Power and Rugrats, as "90s Throwback." 


If you understand the phrase, "Twist it! Bop it!" 



You were most likely apart of the last generation to grow up being videotaped on VHS. 



You remember Amanda Bynes before she went psycho. 




You most likely had a flip phone, such as the Razor, or a slide phone, such as the Chocolate, as your first phone. 



Your favorite childhood stuffed animals, Webkinz, came out over 10 years ago.



You know who Charlie the Unicorn is and his journey to Candy Mountain. 


You find out the last episode of Friends was in 2004, 11 years ago. 



You shockingly realize Regina George from Mean Girls would now be graduated from college and 27 years-old.

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.
