1. The only president to be unanimously elected was the first president of the United States, George Washington. He also never lived in the White House and the only president who didn't represent a political party. He even rejected the presidential salary of $25,000. I wonder if that's where Donald Trump got the idea?

2. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to be inaugurated in Washington D.C.

3. After George Bush Sr. vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister, a new word entered the Japanese Language called Bushusuru, meaning "to do the Bush thing".

4. Six Presidents were named James: Madison, Monroe, Garfield, Polk, Buchanan and Carter.

5. Richard Nixon was the first president to visit all 50 states and China. He was also the first president to resign.

6. Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital and go on record seeing a UFO.

7. Abraham Lincoln was the only president who was a licensed bartender. He was co-owner of Berry and Lincoln, a saloon in Springfield, Illinois. He was also the only presidential candidate who was not a Mason in the 1860 election.

8. President Herbert Hoover gave his White House servants strict orders to hide from him whenever he passed by. Those who failed to do so were at risk of being fired.

9. John F. Kennedy most likely had the most extramarital sex life of any president. He allegedly slept with Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Audrey Hepburn, Angie Dickinson, stripper Blaze Starr, Marlene Dietrich, and many other women in the White House office.The FBI taped sounds of him and Inga Arvad making love.

10. Lyndon Baines Johnson affectionately called the many women he slept with his "harem". He even had a buzzer system installed that rang inside the Oval Office so that Secret Service could warn him when his wife was coming.

Happy President's Week.

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.
