I am not the kind of person who lies — unless, of course, I am lying to myself.

Things like "I'll go to the gym tomorrow morning," and "I'm gonna save money," are among the biggest lies. And, there's a variety of others I tell myself to pretend I have my life together.

1. "I am so done with guys"

I've already told myself this on five separate occasions this week.

2. "I'm not getting fat, I'm just bloated"

Is it possible that i've just been bloated since coming to college? Maybe ill drink more water and cut out gluten. That will fix it.

3. "I need another drink"

I say this one as I trip over nothing on my way to the bar.

4. "You can totally wear last nights makeup to class"

My mascara is smudged everywhere and my hair looks like a bird's nest. Maybe this is why no one sits next to me.

5. "Hot Cheetos aren't that bad for you"

I mean they have been known to send people to the hospital for eating too many, but they have protein in them and protein is healthy.

6. "No one can tell I haven't washed my hair"

I'll wear a hat. No one will know I haven't washed my hair since last week.

7. "You can go another week without doing laundry"

Until I end up getting stuck wearing pink fluffy socks to the gym.

8. "I am not getting too drunk tonight"

If I say I'm gonna "take it easy tonight" because I have a lot to get done tomorrow, expect to carry my lifeless body home at 2 A.M.

9. "I'm not skipping any of my classes"

I say this one at the beginning of every quarter, and by the end, I'm staying in bed until 3 p.m. and acting like a mom who works from home.

10. "I have nothing to wear"

I say this as I stare at a closet full of clothes, then use it as an excuse to break into my friends' closets.

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.
