Ah, summertime. What is supposed to be three months of relaxation and sitting by the pool is quickly interrupted by your parents getting on your case about getting a summer job. Don't they know that college is work? You're exhausted from writing papers and taking finals (and staying out at the bar until 3 a.m.), the last thing you want to do during your three months off is spend all day inside working. Eventually it gets to the point that your parents threaten to stop feeding you unless you get a job, so you begrudgingly start the job hunt.

Your parents tell you you need to get a job and your reaction is:

After filling out your fifth or more application and you get to that personality survey that promises it will only take you about "15 minutes to complete these 100 questions".

When you get an email from one of the places you applied and you hope it's going to be good news, but instead they are emailing to reject you:

When you put on real clothes and makeup and make yourself look presentable for the interview and remember how good you look when you actually put in effort:

When you get to the interview and the interviewer asks you why you want to work there:

Because you care so much about flipping burgers all summer.

When you finally hear back that you nailed the interview and got the job:

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.

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.
