We all have our quirks about us. Most of which we're a little scared to share with others because we think that each of them is unique to us. Over time, I have found quite a few oddities that we can all understand. Below are the top 19 most relatable...

1. Picking out specific Sour Patch Kids colors.

And Skittles. And Starbursts. I know I’m not the only one who will only eat the shades of red.

2. Throwing clean clothes in the hamper.

When we’re just too tired to hang another article of clothing up in the closet.

3. Redecorating our rooms every three months.

The trends are changing faster than we can repaint the walls and purchase a new comforter.

4. Tasting things that we know won’t result in satisfaction.

Like trying that one food that always made your stomach churn one more time just to see if your taste buds have changed their mind.

5. Tossing water bottles under the bed (behind the driver’s seat).

And wonder where all of the trash came from months down the line.

6. Believing that those same water bottles are contaminated and undrinkable after the third sip.

And then wonder why the world is dying.

7. Self-diagnosing illnesses.

Only to decide that we are certainly dying after searching “cough” on WebMD.

8. Choosing only the chips that are covered in flavor dust.

Making all of your friends hate sharing any snacks with you.

9. Imagining my life as a Grey’s Anatomy character instead.

Or a Friends character.

10. Asking yourself “what would Meredith Grey do?”

Or Monica Geller?

11. Sipping from the same spot on the glass each time.

If not only to avoid covering the rim in lip gloss smudges.

12. Having anxiety about automatic doors.

Especially when walking more quickly than it opens.

13. Preparing the voice you will use when you say “here”.

Role call never gets easier, not even in college.

14. Testing out our British accents.

But ONLY in the car, when we know no one can hear our poor impression.

15. Turning down the volume in the car when you get lost.

As if it will somehow help you find the way.

16. Singing the entire alphabet.

Because, apparently, you can’t just skip to the part you need.

17. Listening to the same song for days on repeat.

At least you’ll know all of the words next time you need to bust it out at a party.

18. Peeing in the shower.

We all do it, don’t get so offended.

19. And finally, relating to every item on this list.

But that’s okay, we won’t tell if you don’t.

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.
