It’s 2009. Jason Derulo’s “Whatcha Say” tops the charts. Bedazzled Juicy Couture sweatpants and hair feathers are all the rage. Your best friend has somehow gotten her hands on an iPhone while you still have to flip your cell open to type “rawr XD." After school, you catch up on Jersey Shore and Glee, and when it’s almost six o’clock, you start getting ready for the school dance. You’re sporting sparkly Uggs and lipgloss, which of course will get your crush’s attention. You ask your mom to drop you off a block away.

In the packed gym/cafeteria, the DJ plays the Top 50, while you and your friends dance in a circle, sing loudly, and scream whenever you see someone you know walk in. Here’s a list of the songs that you still definitely know all the lyrics to.

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.

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.
