They say your 20's are your selfish years; the years to be greedy with your time. They're meant for traveling, exploring, and being ridiculously silly, stupid, and wild all at the same time. It's when a city girl goes to college in the country, or when a college graduate takes a job offer on the other side of the country. Life's too short to spend your entire existence living within the same familiar boundaries of what you already know. I grew up in a small town with local farmers markets and small family owned businesses down every street before moving to Tampa, Florida for school in my early 20's.

Here are 10 struggles every person who's made a major move can relate to. And remember, be daring, stay curious, and take the chance.


1). Using your GPS to get to and from everywhere


2). Going places alone because you haven't made any friends yet


3). Living like a caveman the first few weeks because your wifi isn't set up yet #FirstWorldProbs


4). Pretending you're a master at putting together IKEA furniture because you didn't want to pay the extra $100 to have them to set it up for you


5). Your FOMO at an all time high from missing out on everything going on back home


6). The tedious trial and error process of discovering your new go-to spots


7). Registering your car in a new state


8). Finding a job


9). Forgetting where you put things because you're used to your setup back home


10). The endless phone calls to everyone in your family to see how they've been going without you

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.
