14 Signs You're From South Carolina
Colliers

South Carolina is where I grew up. So everything here has always seemed like the norm. Now that I'm old enough to go out and visit other states I've noticed many things that are peculiar to my home state. Here's 14 things us South Carolinians know all about-- whether you like it, or not.

1. You insist on ya'll --not you guys

2. Sweet tea is as common as water


3. You see chevron way too many times in a day

I've never understood this trend, but it's taken over the state.

4. And lets not forget Lilly Pulitzer is everywhere

This trend is also beyond my understanding... But I will admit, it's a staple here.

5. You've been to Myrtle Beach numerous times, and probably for your high school senior week.

6. You've had Shrimp & Grits

It's a treat around here.

7. The Clemson vs. Gamecocks rivalry is very real

South Carolinians love their football

8. You think the Riverbanks zoo is extravagant

Ain't it though?

9. You or your friend own a native/palmetto tree car sticker.


Guilty.

10. You've accepted that no one in this state can drive (except for you of course)


11. Myrtle Manor & Southern Charm piss you off


12. Your parents have said things like, "Don't get too big for your briches","God don't like ugly" and "Go pick your switch".


13. Long John Silver's and Kmart still exist

14. Charleston is everyone's number one vacation spot

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.
