So I got my nose pierced about 6 weeks ago, and it has been a challenge. I have been put through some things that I wish I knew was going to happen, but even after all the crazy things I experienced with my new piercing, I absolutely love it. I even want more! Please note that my experience may not be the same experience that you go through, so keep that in mind. Also, please don't forget to tip your piercer!

1. The pain you feel may vary

Everyone's pain tolerance is different. Personally, the actual piercing did not hurt. It felt like a lot of pressure. About maybe 10 minutes after I got it done, it started to hurt. So I suggest to take a few ibuprofen.

2. Your piercing may get ripped out

So with it being in such an exposed area, there's a higher chance of it getting ripped out. I got mine ripped out and it hurt so bad. This can also put you at a higher risk for infection. As soon as your piercing gets ripped out, please go to a nearby tattoo parlor to put it in for you so your piercing doesn't grow up. So please be careful!

3. CLEAN YOUR PIERCING RELIGIOUSLY

SERIOUSLY. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. You nose carries a lot of bacteria, so there is a higher chance of infections. I still clean my nose at least twice a day. I will continue to clean it forever and ever amen.

4. Sneezing is weird now

The first time I sneezed with my new piercing in, a few things went through my head. 1) "OMG what if my piercing falls out!!!" and 2)"What if snot gets stuck in my piercing?!" But come to realize, your piercing will not fall out if you sneeze. However, if you blow your nose, you have to be careful with the piercing so you don't accidentally pull it out.

5. You may want more piercings

Getting piercings can become addicting, and I want more! I want two more nose piercings and maybe some more piercings in the future.

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.
