We've all been stuck in sticky situations where we've been forced to choose between lying or telling the truth. Whether your friend wants to know how you feel about her new boyfriend or your parents want to know why your grades aren't too hot, we've all been there. And sometimes, it's best to tell just a little white lie.

1. "Sorry I'm late, I got stuck in traffic."

In other words, you hit the snooze button one too many times. Hey, we all need our beauty sleep, and that 7:45 a.m. gets right in the way.

2. "You look awesome!"

Of course your friend looks good, they're beautiful and amazing, but you don't always understand their outfit choices, nor do they get yours. To spare feelings, sometime it's best to just keep your thoughts all wrapped up.

3. "I don't feel so good, I don't think I can make it."

Yes, you have had these plans made for a long time, but you would rather be curled up on the couch eating leftover Easter candy and watching every show on Netflix.

4. "Don't worry, I already deleted the picture."

No, you're saving that embarrassing Snap to send in the group chat later, or even to eventually share on Instagram. Either way, you're keeping that picture.

5. "I can't, I'm on a diet"

We have all told ourselves this lie. In reality, though, you're probably going to eat healthy for the majority of the day, you may even go to the gym. But when you go home, you're going to eat whatever is left in your kitchen.

6. "Whatever, I'll just study later."

Of course you'll study, your grades are important. But it will just be later; in fact, it will be three hours and five episodes of "The Office" later. Or more, because when it comes to Netflix, the limit does not exist.

7. "Don't worry, I'm on the way!"

Actually, you're still doing your hair, and you haven't even finished your makeup yet, but hey, you want to look and feel great. Plus, you can always just pull the traffic card again.

8. "I'm so sorry, I've been really busy lately."

In other words, you've been binge watching Netflix and catching up on some much-needed sleep. Sometimes being social is hard, and sometimes, you're just exhausted, and that's okay.

9. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you."

But you will ignore that person for the next few days, and even complain about them to your mom. Sure, you'll get over it, but sometimes, you need some space.

10. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see your text."

You saw it, but you didn't want to respond to your coworker or boss just yet. Or at all. Don't worry, you can always say your cell phone was on silent.

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.
