As a mammal, I have a lot of things that happen to me daily. I wake up and go to sleep every night. I have to eat and use the restroom. When I was little I couldn’t do the things I can do now, like feed and protect myself. One day (hopefully) I’ll find a mate or two to have a baby with. But there are some things that only us humans get to do. These things are exclusive to us as a population, and nothing else in the universe will ever get to experience them. So here is my list of 30 Things Only Humans Can Relate To. It’s special to be a human and sucks to be anything else.

  1. Dropping your phone in the crevice between the console and the seat in your car
  2. Getting a really convincing email about a “25 million dollar business opportunity”
  3. “You up?” texts
  4. Knowing one song on the piano
  5. Ordering Ray Bans online that were on sale for only $20 and getting your credit card compromised and sunglasses in the mail that are fake plastic
  6. Going to a place called “foot massage” to get a back massage.
  7. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
  8. Comparing Chaco tan lines
  9. Deciding between CVS and Walgreens
  10. Calling your girlfriend the wrong name
  11. Fake laughing at an acquaintance's jokes
  12. Accidently pooping your pants at a Starbucks in Washington heights
  13. Hoping your tweet does well
  14. Chilis 2 for $20
  15. Transitioning from velcro to laces
  16. Discreetly picking a wedgie
  17. The capacity to love and experience deep traumatizing heart break
  18. Changing your identity to protect yourself
  19. Worrying that "In the Heights" will be overshadowed because of "Hamilton’s" success
  20. Trying to explain an SNL sketch to someone and it being underwhelming and then it getting awkward.
  21. Trying to google the sketch you were talking about, but the wifi isnt working
  22. The wifi not working
  23. Drinking from a camelback for the first time
  24. Playing bananagrams and breaking a sweat
  25. Having to vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton for the President of the United states and then having to justify it
  26. Doing meth
  27. Asking the person in the stall next to you for toilet paper
  28. “Did you save enough room for desert?”
  29. Being impressed when someone actually knows how to solve a rubics cube
  30. Being relatable online
  31. Getting lots of shares and winning a $25 gift card
  32. Realizing the time we waste reading relatable lists

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.
