We just love that dirty water.

If you know me at all, you know that Boston is and will always be my favorite place in the world. I'm sure that all of my fellow Bostonians can relate to the numerous things that distinguish us and our wicked great city from the rest.

1. Your favorite word is wicked.

"Really cool" and "super cool" are simply just not in our vocabulary.

2. People are always commenting on how you say wicked.

You simply just have to embrace it.

3. You never go a day without Dunkin Donuts.

It's not just a place, it's a way of life.

4. Nothing is better than a bowl of New England clam chowder.

...And it's even better when it's in a warm bread bowl.

5. There is no greater baseball stadium than Fenway Park.

And there is no greater baseball team than the Boston Red Sox.

6. A Fenway frank is better than any other hotdog.

And you know that you didn't really go to Fenway Park if you didn't get one.

7. Sweet Caroline will always be our anthem.

Shoutout to our man Neil Diamond.

8. You consider 60-degree ocean water warm.

Which is good because, in the Summer, the water temperature really doesn't get much higher.

9. Your car is always equipped with a snow scraper, regardless of the season.

It really wouldn't be a shock to us if a blizzard hit in mid-April.

10. St. Patricks day is the best holiday.

And the St. Patricks Day Parade is one of the best events of the year.

11. You consider 6 inches of snow only a dusting.

Which makes the normal few feet of snow nothing out of the ordinary.

12. You really haven't been to the North End if you haven't been to Mikes Pastry.

Or Modern Pastry is just as good.

13. You really haven't been to Mike's Pastry if you haven't gotten one of their famous cannoli's.

And you certainly have tried one of their lobster tails, as well.

14. "Pass the clickah."

Don't you dare call it a remote.

15. You will always be a loyal Boston sports fan.

...No matter the outcome of any game (although they are usually positive.)

16. You know how to brag about how great Boston sports are.

And you know that Tom Brady will always be the GOAT no matter what.

17. Childhood memories include vacationing down the Cape.

And you know you go "Down the Cape," not "to Cape Cod."

18. There is no such thing as sprinkles.

They are clearly called jimmies.

19. You always went to the movies at Jordan's Furniture.

There's nothing cooler than watching a movie with 3-D glasses.

20. There are only 25 letters in the alphabet.

No such thing is the lettah "R."

21. No matter where you end up in life, Boston will always be considered home.

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.
