We all have at least one smell that we secretly like, but probably shouldn't. Some people really like some odd things when we really get down to it. What odd smell do you secretly love? Did it make the list? Comment with your secret favorite smell!

1. Gasoline

Nothing better than the gas station. We all know gas stinks and inhaling it is obviously not good, but man, you just can't beat it.

2. Your own fart

We as humans are disgusting, but we love it. The riper the better!

3. Spray paint.

*Shakes Can* *Spshhhhh* *Ahh*

4. Sharpies.

The king-sized sharpies are the best. Hands down.

5. Chlorine.

Swimming pools smell bomb.

6. Cow patties.

If you're from a farming town or grew up on the farm, the smell of cattle and their manure really make the nostalgia kick in.

7. Your own b.o.

*Wipes fingers under arms* Man that stinks. *Continues to smell*

8. Skunks.

This one isn't for me, but some of you weird humans like the smell of these rank little creatures.

9. Tanning beds a.k.a. burnt skin.

It burns so good.

10. County fairs.

The smell of funnel cake, corn dogs, lemonade and the livestock show all together make the perfect smell.

11. Babies.

Do they really smell as cute as they look? Babies have a distinct smell and we love it.

12. Leather.

Mmmmm smells expensive.

13. Your stinky shoes.

Gross, but highly satisfying.

14. Favorite sports equipment.

New balls smell the best!

15. Freshly-cut grass.

Ahhh smell the allergies.

16. The hot ground after it rains.

Its a smell, a smelly smell, the kind of smelly smell that we secretly love.

17. Your favorite pet.

Even when they need a bath, they smell like home.

18. The colorful car wash soap.

This smell isn't even weird. It's awesome.

19. Cigarette smoke.

Smell the cancer.

20. Hot glue.

Melting plastic, what's not to love?

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.
