If you grew up in the South, you certainly will be able to relate to these 20 things.

1. Your high school history teacher was the football coach.

Although it was easy to get him off-topic, you probably could've used some historical knowledge for the long road, or could have done without listening to the battle of Bunker Hill as a strategy.

2. People always ask how your family is.... even when you don't know them.

The awkward smiles and "they're great!" to cover up the fact you don't talk to them

3. Your accent is so strong you can barely pronounce words correctly.

Or when you say a bigger word and people act surprised.

4. Your sweet tea could single-handedly put anyone in a diabetic coma.

5. The old men eating Jack's for breakfast keep offering you candy and/or money.

6. The "late night hang out" is a gas station.

Until the cops are called.

7. Your mom let you choose the switch from the side of the road in which she was going to beat you with

Perfect mixture of flimsy and firm-not too green, not too dead.

8. Everyone has a browning or a salt life sticker on their Altima.

So y'all live by a secret ocean?

9. At least three churches per block

Ain't no harm done!

10. If your parents were high school all stars, so were you.

I mean, it runs in the family.

11. Everyone knows your business

They know about you relative's arrest before you...

12. The cashier at the gas station knows your name and your car.

13. Everyone is trying to make it in the music industry

Giphy

And by 'music industry I mean Soundcloud

14. And if you don't like one of them that made it, everyone hates you.

No offense, but it's terrible.

15. Everything is robin egg blue and monogrammed

I'm convinced it's a cult.

16. When you adjust your tinder to 20 miles, it's only people you went to high school with.

The past finds the present.

17. All people eat is ranch.

18. Every summer you see at least ONE rebel flag bikini.

Which is absolutely sickening

19. You hear "Sweet Home Alabama" everywhere you go.

Giphy

It really isn't that great of a song

20. Somehow people missed that the 'mullet' went out of style

Brave souls still rock it, though.

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.
