10 Reasons Why Massachusetts Is The Best Place To Grow Up

1. You know that not everyone in Massachusetts fails to pronounce their R’s.

People who were born in Boston have very strong accents, but that really does not mean everyone does. How are you? =” Hahwahya?”

2. Dunkin or Dunks

when you live in Massachusetts nobody really says the entire name “Dunkin' Donuts.”

3. When people say they are from Boston when they are truly not.

“Boston is pretty cool, I live like 20 minutes from the city." That really does not mean you are from Boston.

4. Jay-Walking

So you need to cross a street in the city, why should you wait for the signal? That would be a waste of time, and you know the cars aren’t going to hit you if you time it correctly. So you take a lot of caution and start walking forward and holding your breath in.

5. Snow

During the winter season the children always love to play in the snow. The adults never really like the winter session for them, it means more cleaning up the snow in the cold.

6. Cape Cod

Every summer people always say “ I am going to the Cape, do you want to come with me?”

7. Tom Brady

The majority of the people who live in Massachusetts have a crush on Tom Brady because he is really handsome.

8. You have been to the Museum of Science, Museum of Fine Arts, and the Children's Museum all on field trips or maybe you bored.

You weren't a kid growing up in MA if you didn't going to the Children's Museum...

9. Sports

Sports are very important to everyone who live in Massachusetts. Whether it be the Bruins, Red Sox, or Patriots, everyone shows love to their favorite New England teams.

10. Public Transportation

At least once in your lifetime in Mass you have had to take the train or the bus. Especially since it less expensive than using a car!

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.
