15 Signs You Grew Up In South Carolina

Being from the Palmetto State, you notice that things are a bit different around here. Here are 15 things you'll definitely recognize if you were blessed enough to grow up in the Palmetto State. Pledge your love, loyalty, and faith.

1. Everyone is obsessed with the palmetto tree and moon from the state flag. People put it on everything

2. There are more churches than you can count.

3. The humidity is ridiculously intense.

4. But not as intense as the rivalry between Clemson and University of South Carolina.

5. USC does not mean University of Southern California. And Carolina does not mean University of North Carolina.

6. If you wear a shirt that says "FU" on it, no one will question you.

7. We're in the national news for the most bizarre stories. Most recently, the clowns originated in Greenville.

8. You can't go outside without bug spray.

9. Summerville was the birthplace of sweet tea, so we live off of it.

10. We're also the birthplace of some pretty weird foods, like mustard based BBQ.

11. If one flake of snow falls from the sky, everyone loses their minds. And school is canceled.

12. Pepsi is more common than Coke, since it originated in the Carolinas.

13. Fireworks are legal here, so there are lots of firework stores surrounding the border. You're welcome, North Carolina and Georgia.

14. You know that "bless your heart" is anything but a compliment.

15. And everyone says "y'all."

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.
