I'm one of those people who wants to look good and to be known for looking good. For example, one of my good friends, Jenna. Jenna has the quirkiest style, she has a corny and somewhat nostalgic style with a touch of boho.

Makes no sense, I know. But it works.

Everyone loves it and she doesn't even have to try anymore, it's an established style.

I'm envious.

Then there's me, with the ever-evolving style depending on my income.

1. Emo - Middle School 6th grade

This was actually disgusting, not only was I poor (So I couldn't establish the style with my clothing), but I couldn't apply eyeliner. It was actually horrendous. Someone should've called the police. It was a hard time for me.

Luckily this was short-lived and I gave up.

Thank God.

2. Quirky - Middle School 6th-9th grade

It was atrocious but a lot better than the emo style. Crazy fluorescent socks and T-shirts that go along the lines of, "Rawr means I love you in dinosaur". Or my favorite, the ketchup and mustard bottle saying, "What's up dog?" to a hot dog- I lost that so long ago.

3. I tried to establish skirts and dresses as my own style - High school 9th-11th

This one has kind of meshed with my "style" now. Except for skirts, those fly up too much. The quirky style was embedded in there too, it was sort of a mess.

4) Florals and premature bohemian - High school 11th-12th

This was around the time my mother stopped buying my clothes and I began to have a sense of my own style. The bright colors have been thrown away from my wardrobe and become warmer or darker. A lot of floral textiles and a lot of tunics.

5. Vintage bohemian with textiles. Freshman year- to current.

This one is more diverse. I pretty much wear the same color scheme now: beige, brown, black and softer colors. Birkenstocks, oxfords, baggy pants. Crop tops and cardigans. Sometimes minimal clothing, it's a more body positive style.

6. Overalls! - Current

I've taken an appreciation for overalls. I own only three, two skirts and one pant. But they're widely accepted by my "style." The overalls collection is continuously growing.

I'll give this stage in fashion another four years, let's see if it develops into something unique.

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.
