Have you ever dreaded going somewhere? I know you have. Maybe you dread getting a haircut, going to the doctor or just getting out of bed (we've all been there).

For me, I dread going to a particular place. I dread going to Walmart.

Don't get me wrong here. Walmart has some good qualities. The prices aren't usually too bad, and they often have a variety of items to choose from. The only reason I can't stand going to the store is that I have the same thoughts every time I go there.

There's the familiar sight of hundreds of people running around the store like maniacs trying to find what they need. Then there's that smell. It's a Walmart smell.

If you've ever found yourself questioning life, or just Walmart in general, you can definitely relate to these.

1. Let’s just get this over with.

I'll be in and out in 10 minutes. This will be a fast trip. (Three hours later…)

2. These stupid carts are the worst.

Why do the wheels never work on these shopping carts, and why do they always make weird sounds?

3. It smells in here.

Do you smell that? It's Walmart. It's a mixture of food, cleaning products and something you can't quite figure out.

4. It's so crowded. I can’t move.

I can't even turn my cart around. I'm stuck on this aisle.

5. I think I’m lost. This store is like a maze.

I just needed one thing, and now I can't find my way out.

6. Wait, paper towels used to be in this aisle. Where’d they go?

They moved the darn paper towels again.

7. That kid is too old to be pitching a fit.

How old is that kid? He must be at least 10.

8. Wow, he’s pitching a fit over Goldfish.

Really? He's crying over Goldfish?

9. There are so many babies crying.

These babies can cry really loudly.

10. I’m about to join those crying babies.

If I don't leave here, I will start crying like these babies.

11. Why does no one ever smile?

I never see anyone who works here smile…

12. I wonder if the people who work here enjoy their jobs.

If you don't like people, don't work here.

13. Why is the floor sticky?

There's something on the floor. I'm scared to look.

14. Why do people walk so slow?

I will bump my cart into yours if you don't move.

15. I’m not even halfway through this store.

This store just goes on forever…

16. I can’t find anything. STOP REARRANGING THE STORE.

Why do they have to move everything?

17. Now to find an open checkout lane.

Please let there be an open lane or a short line.

18. Why are only three people checking out customers?

WHY? The store is packed. There needs to be more than three open checkout lanes.

19. I’m never going to leave here.

I'll be here for another hour easily.

20. HOLY COW. Did I really just drop that much money here?

It's so easy to spend a fortune here.

21. I loathe this place.

I really can't stand this store, but I know I'll be back next week.

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.
