1. That feeling when you find something great

Sometimes searching through racks at thrift stores can feel like searching for burried treasure...but...when you find the treasure it is oh so rewarding.

2. That moment you look at your bank account after you go thrifting

Not only can you look fierce, you can keep your bank account happy!

3. That feeling when someone compliments your outfit

Let's be honest. The feeling you get when someone compliments an item of clothing from a thrift shop. And then saying, YA GIRL I BOUGHT THIS AT GOODWILL.

4. The reaction you get from someone when you tell them it is thrifted

Yes, I did get this for $5. BOO. YA.

5. That feeling when you create the perfect outfit

It's all working together.

6. Taking it from drab to fab

You can do whatever you want with thrift store clothes! The freedom! Cut, sew, tie, wrap. An ugly dress can be a cute mini skirt, a scarf can become a shirt! Who knows. It's up to you.

7. The search

This is just part of the fun. Searching up and down the aisles until you find that perfect piece.

8. Vintage!

Oh ya, baby! Styles come back...wait, is that your Grandma's Coat?

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.
