A lot of people think homeschool kids are super quiet. In all reality us homeschool kids can be pretty crazy and awesome. People also think that just because we were homeschooled that we don't know how to act socially. The thing is, when you get a bunch of us together it can be crazy fun. For me being homechooled made me who I am and I truly do not know who I would be without it, and how I would deal with college. For most homeschoolers we are just misunderstood by not only adults but also by people our own age. So what are the 5 things you learn as a homeschooler?

1. You learn time management

This was the first thing you learned, because if you wanted to go to zoo or aquarium class you had to have not only Monday's work done, but also Tuesday's so you could have all day for class and other fun activities that are offered to homeschoolers. Also if you got all your work done early for that week you had the rest of the week off.

2. How to save money

What most people do not know is that there are so many discounts offered to homeschoolers. Growing up you learned how to save money and get your moneys worth.

3. Life skills

Your parents were always going to make sure you not only knew how to do everything in the class room but also life skills. Like how to fix things around the house

4. Doing things on your own

You were taught early that you were not always going to receive help in life so you learned how to teach your self, because mom could not understand high school math because the book liked to spin her around in the instructions.

5. This so made going to college easier

Sure at first you were worried about moving out and going to school, but once classes started it felt like you were back home. The reason why is because of all the amazing skills you have learned being a homeschooler. People may thing we are weird and can't be out in public, but they don't know what awesome people we are.

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.
