If you're from New England, you know how great it is.

We have Boston and New York City. We have the best food, the best of both worlds; city and countryside, but yet, we have one downfall.

The unpredictably of our weather.

Every resident of New England knows that the weather in New England is a slippery slope, an emotional roller coaster, a heart breaker. The one season that is the most up and down is spring. While spring in most places is a time of warmth and sunshine, here in New England you can expect a warm sunny day first and a cold snowy nor'easter the next day.

You have all gone through the following process if you're from New England:

1. There's the miserably cold winter.

Long gone are the summer days and warm weather. You freeze every single day. All it does is snow and there's no hope in sight. It's so dark early and you feel like going to bed at 5 p.m. because, why not? It's pitch black outside.

2. Groundhog Day.

It was already a long and awful winter. Now, it's the end of January and you're relying on the little animal to come out of its hole and restore your faith. You wait to see if Phil sees his shadow or not, but you know it has no bearing whatsoever because Mother Nature is in control.

3. The first nice day.

Then it comes: the first warm glimmer of sunlight. It burns at first, but then you find yourself rejoicing. Everyone is outside feeling the spring fever, but just you wait; it's about to be torn away.

4. SNOW STORM.

Just like that, it's gone. All of a sudden, you're surrounded by 10-in. of snow and you're just begging Mother Nature to relax and let it be spring.

5. A glimpse of hope; another warm day.

It's warm again some way, some how. Now, you spring the clocks forward and you're ready for spring to begin.

6. Just when you think it's OK to put away the snow boots, there's another crazy snow storm.

Just kidding! There's another snow storm happening. Don't retire those snow boots just yet, folks. You'll need them to walk through the next 10-in. that we are getting.

7. Warm weather finally comes and stays.

Finally, the weather begins to warm and stay. You're grateful to be able to walk outside and feel the sun on your face.

8. Spring isn't as pretty as you thought.

Although spring is filled with beautiful warm weather, you cant forget all the mud from the melting snow.

9. It rains. All. The. Time.

Like monsoon amounts of rain, but spring showers bring may flowers (just keep telling yourself that).

10. Finally, its nice spring weather.

It's wonderful, it's magical; the world is amazing, colorful and bright.

11. Then it gets really hot.

You sweat and melt all the time, but you love New England no matter what because it's the absolute best place to be.

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.
