All the single ladies.

Being single -- we've all been there and done that. It's not the worst thing in the world, but from time to time it just gets downright boring. It just seems like it's been ages since you last had a significant other, and sometimes you can tell that it's been awhile for a few different reasons.

1. You call all of your friends your "girlfriends"

Now obviously, you're not dating every single one of your friends but sometimes it is just comforting to pretend that you have a significant other to do things with. Things such as having date nights or even just staying in and watching Netflix.

2. You have a million celebrity crushes

You name them, and we probably have a crush on them. Age plays no factor on these crushes either. From Zac Efron to Johnny Depp, we love them all.

3. Shaving your legs is NOT a must

Why shave your legs? Who are you even trying to impress?

4. You find other sources of happiness -- like food

Every girl likes a good ol' slice of pizza, or maybe the entire pizza if it's just one of those days.

5. You often think about why you are single

You'll think about how great of a girlfriend you would be until you realize all of the weird and crazy things you do. Then you suddenly realize exactly why you are single, but still wish that you weren't anyway.

6. Happy couples make you sad

Whether they are real life couples or just the ones in the movies, a nice cry is in order because the levels of jealousy are out of hand.

7. You have downloaded Tinder just to boost your self-confidence

No need to lie ladies. We all know that you either have it downloaded or you did at one point. It's a confidence booster to match with a cute boy, especially when they "super like" you. How flattering!

8. You often tell your friends to set you up

Even though you know that it won't work, you try anyway.

9. You forget how to flirt

Honestly, what even is flirting? I couldn't exactly tell you since I've been single for quite some time. Is it just as easy as complimenting a guy or what? Maybe that is half of the reason I am single.

10. The only people who you text and call are family members

It's always really exciting when your phone goes off for once, until that you realize that it is just your mom or dad checking in on you.

11. People think that your guy best friend is your boyfriend

It's a crazy thought, but boys and girls can be just friends. Just because we get along and hang out often does not mean that we are going to get married.

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.
