Boston Strong.

Once A Bostonian, Always A Bostonian

No quite understands the way of Boston unless you've grown up there. These are things only people from Boston will truly understand.

1. We don't go to Dunkin Donuts, we go to "Dunks" to get our favorite coffee.


2. You're not heading to Cape Cod for the weekend, you're heading to the Cape.

3. No one can celebrate Saint Patty's day the way we do.

4. You cannot acutally Pahk ya cah in Hahvad yahd (Park your car in Harvard Yard).

5. Do not mention the Yankees. Period.

6. The Green Monster is our favorite monster.


7. A regular coffee is not black coffee, it's coffee with cream and sugar.


8. You don't have to ask if anyone is Irish... everyone in Boston is part Irish.


9. Don't be surprised when everyone you meet speaks like a trucker.


10. No one can take pride in all of their sports the way Bostonians do.


11. We aren't bad drivers, we just don't feel the need to follow all of the rules of the road.


12. It's normal to have snow through May.


13. Don't try to copy the Boston accent... You'll just sound like an idiot.


14. We raise great actors.


15. As well as film the best movies.


16. Yes, south Boston is called Southie (Good beer and Irishmen are found here).


17. We love our Chowdah.


18. We are always right. Even when we are wrong, we are still right.

19. Best mode of transportation is the T.


20. Once a Bostonian, always a Bostonian.

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.

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.
