1. La Chancla was your worst enemy

When your mom got mad at you and whipped this out, you knew it was time to run.


2. Vicks saved your life

Even if your leg was broken, vicks was always the solution



3. Sazon Goya was (and still is) life

Your mom never cooks without it, it's a necessity



4. Watching Laura was always jaw dropping

The dramatics, the fights and, of course, Laura's favorite phrase always made that ridiculous show a must watch

5. Cleaning

When your mom was blasting music early in the morning, you knew you were going to spend your day cleaning the house.


6. Your stove was full of pots and pans

Before cooking something in the stove, you had to remember to remove everything because latinos always store the pots inside.


7. La Llorona

Your parents or grandparents would scare you into thinking that if you were bad La Llorona would come and take you away.


8. Sancocho was the go-to soup

Even in 90 degree weather your mom would still prepare Sancocho or what some like to call it, Caldo.


9. "Mami tengo hambre" "No, hay frijoles en la casa"

Your mom always had food prepared, no matter what.


10. The birthday parties

Little kids birthday parties were always the place to be. The good food, random clown, and piñata was typical.

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.
