We've all been there.

The 8 Stages Of Texting Someone New

We've all been there. You start texting a new cute guy whether you met him at a party, Starbucks, or you were set up by your friends. Here's the whole process as told by GIFs:

1. After you text them first

We all know that jittery feeling after we send the text for the first time. You immediately think of a million things you could have said instead, but eventually find peace in what you actually texted.

2. When you're tired but want to keep talking to them

You've been texting them all day and are annoying in your attempt to get to know them. You are enjoying this so much, you do not mind missing a couple of hours of sleep to keep talking to them.

3. Using "lol." A lot.

Lol has been around since instant messaging first came to be. When you first start texting someone, you add "lol" in almost everything even when it's not funny.

4. Ignoring/pausing reality to continue the conversation

We are all guilty of this: zoning out of class or a conversation because you're too busy texting.

5. Debating whether you should use emojis or not

There's always a debate whether to use emojis or not. On one hand you want to use the emoji to portray an emotion not in the text, but you also do not want to use too many. Ugh, the struggle.

6. Sending a text, and then thinking of something you could have said

You think you have the perfect text to send, and seconds after hitting send you think of something even better.

7. When they take forever to reply

Things were seemingly going well, then all of the sudden they take hours to reply. You decide you do not have time for this.

8. When they stop replying

Sometimes people stop replying. I guess they got tired of candid and funny texts. Oh well.

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.
