The grandma friend loves to knit; she watches all the soap operas, and she hates to leave her cats alone for more than a couple hours. We're more in favor of a good book, a sarcastic comment here and there, and of course, some sweet iced tea.

1. You talk back to the TV.

Whether it's a sitcom or a reality show, you always have something snarky or insightful to add to the viewing experience.

2. You're always losing your glasses.

You can never remember what room you last put them in (which is probably why you've ended up with more pairs than you can count).

3. You're a sucker for a good movie.

And you're always trying to convince your friends with more modern tastes to watch them with you.

4. You mostly dress in neutral colors.

You're your own brand of stylish, but it's really just grays and muted greens.

5. You don't understand the hype behind going out.

An exciting night for you consists of this week's episode of your new favorite cable series.

6. You hardly ever recognize the songs on the radio.

You stick to your oldies (but goodies). After all this time, they've never failed you.

All of your sweaters are marketed as "chunky."

The roomier the better! And you probably own them in all your favorite colors mentioned above.

8. Speaking of sweaters, you hardly ever leave the house without one on.

It may even be your signature look.

9. You crack some pretty lame jokes.

The cheesiest, corniest, oldest jokes in the book are your go to. And you likely work them in to most of your conversations.

10. You lift everyone's spirits.

Nothing gets a bigger smile than a grandpa's wise advice and hearty encouragement.

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.
