I wouldn't change it for the world, but being a pastor's kid comes with a lot of assumptions and experiences. Some are typical and everyone knows about them, while some are unique and are only understood by those in the same shoes.

1. Expected to be overly "rebellious."

Not all of us live on the wild side to compensate for more restrictions in our lives.

2. Expected to be "perfect."

On the other hand, we are not perfect and will make mistakes like everyone else.

3. "Oh, you must know everything about the Bible."

Not exactly.

4. Your family takes a nap all at once after church.

5. Missing church is just not an option.

Not unless you are hospitalized.

6. You've been to so many church camps you lost count.

7. Talking to other PKs and just getting each other.

8. You are expected to go up and greet everyone.

9. There are Bible verses that are just engraved in your brain.

10. You catch your name in your parent's sermon.

Yes, please talk about my personal life in front of all these people.

11. Volunteering at church is second nature.

12. There are countless people that claim to have known you when you were little, but you don't remember anything.

13. You learn to appreciate what your parents do for the church and know they work very hard.

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.
