No matter what you call them, your grandma is one of the best people in your life. My nana is always there for me whatever the situation may be. Whether it's something small like not knowing how to cook chicken, or something bigger like being stressed about college, she is always there to be my right hand.

She's the reason you want to come home every weekend from college even if you're not feeling that homesick. You miss the smell of her home-cooked breakfast waking you up in the mornings, and those little back scratches she gives you while giving her a hug. She gives your life the light it needs after a long day of work or school when you're under a world of stress. Her little pep talks get you motivated to do whatever you put your mind to. She is your biggest supporter, and your number one fan.

You may butt heads sometimes, but it's for all the right reasons. She is just looking out for your best interests and helping you grow as a young adult. Without her, you probably would've ended up in a bad place a long time ago. She helps you prioritize so you can go far in life, and be a successful person. She's your rock.

Over anything, a nana is your best friend. She helps you through every problem in life, and gives you advice without judging you. She is the mother you always needed and will love you no matter what you do. She'll brag about you on Facebook anytime you do something remotely good to show you off to the world. You guys have the best time together even if it's just going through a drive-thru to get food. She will always be by your side to watch you grow into a genuine person. You wish to be half the person she is because in all honesty, there is absolutely no one better than a Nana.

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.
