OK, I'll admit it. I'm an online shopping addict. There's just something so satisfying knowing that anything I want can be mine with just the click of a button. If you're an online shopping addict just like me, here are a few things that you know all too well.

1. Your mailman has become one of your new best buds

You see them often enough that you're practically on a first name basis and not just because your name is on the package.

2. Trying to figure out what size to order can be the ultimate struggle

3. You’ve definitely received a package that you don’t remember ordering

5. You know just how satisfying it is to rip open a new package

It's like Christmas or your birthday almost every day of the week.

6. You’ve probably had to delete apps from your favorite store off of your phone

... just so you wouldn't keep buying things. We both know there's no such thing as "just looking."

7. You don’t remember subscribing to more than half of the store email lists that you are signed up for

8. You’ve definitely added extra items to your cart just for that free shipping

Of course, it was a smart decision to buy that shirt in all five colors. You really needed that unicorn paperweight anyways. In the end, it was totally worth it for the free shipping.

9. Once your paycheck is deposited, it’s pretty much gone within the next few days

10. There’s nothing quite as stressful as debating whether or not you should buy that item that’s been sitting in your cart

What if they run out of my size? But what if it goes on sale? What if they all sell out? But what if it goes on sale?

11. Speaking of sales, you hands down know the start date and the finish date of all your favorite stores' online sales

12. You’re more likely to be caught flipping between Amazon, Urban Outfitters, and Forever 21 than you are through your social media

13. How many of those Instagram shop ads are you guilty of clicking on?

Let's be real.

14. Forget Black Friday

We all know Cyber Monday is where it's at.

15. You definitely bought way more than you’ll ever need for someone who sits at home and shops online

16. Whoever you live with is probably concerned about your shopping addiction

Whether it's your parents, roommate, significant other, your spending habits have probably come up in conversation at least once.

17. One thing is for sure though, we could be addicted to much worse

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.
