1. Why we go to the bathroom in groups.

There could honestly be 5 or 6 reasons that I just went to the bathroom in a group. To talk about you, to talk about something you did, to fix my makeup, because I had to pee and I couldn't go alone, because someone else had to pee and she couldn't go alone, or to formulate a text response to someone’s boyfriend.

2. Why we are so terrible at accepting compliments.

“Oh my gosh, I love your hair. It looks so good.”

“Oh my gosh, stop. It looks so trashy right now.”

3. What we do on Pinterest.

Listen, if I payed 50 dollars for a black tulle skirt, with complete knowledge that I had no idea how to wear it, I’m GOING to search “black tulle skirt outfits” on pinterest, and I WILL spend hours picking one to wear tomorrow.

4. Why we want comfort rather than a solution.

If I want to cry on you about something I knowingly did wrong, then gosh darn it I will, and I don’t need a powerpoint presentation about how to fix it.

5. Bras.

From how often we wash them all the way to what size we wear.

6. The hate smile.

Just because that girl smiled at me, doesn't mean she likes me. There, in fact, is such thing as a hate smile, and every girl has done it and received it. (Shout out to the girl who thinks I haven't noticed she does this to me)

7. Why we put on makeup just so we can sit around and do nothing.

I look good for me, myself, and I, so if I’m by myself I will still look good.

8. Why we change outfits so many times.

Nothing looks the way I want it to, and you telling me I look good doesn't help.

9. That we don't dye our eyebrows with our hair.

For the most part, this eyebrow action is hand done by yours truly every morning.

10. Why washing our hair every day isn't good for it.

Talk to me when you have split ends down to your butt.

11. Why we want to wear their clothing.

12. Why are we always cold.

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.
