8 Simple Things That Separate Women from Girls

1. Having anything for any possible situation handy.

Women are prepared for any potential mishap. While looking through their purse you will find Tide to Go, a granola bar, Chapstick, a comb, a nail file, bandaids, ibuprofen, gum or mints, a wallet with every credit card, a planner, pens, safety pins, and more. A girl carries around a mostly empty bag just to simply look like a woman.

2. Knowing what shade of lipstick to wear and the appropriate times to wear it. 

Women know that the best way to find the right shade of lipstick has nothing to do with what outfit they are wearing, but rather deals with their natural coloring. An everyday lipstick should be a couple shades darker than the bare lip color. Red lipstick typically goes in accordance with skin tone. Girls just pick out the brightest red they can find, and wear it in all the wrong ways.

3. Needing coffee in the morning, not just wanting it. 

Women honestly cannot function without coffee in the morning. Girls just want to take basic selfies with their Starbucks.

4. Drinking to be classy.

Women drink because they like the taste of whatever drink is in their hand. Girls drink to get drunk. 

5. Killing the bugs in their house as if it's their job.

Women kill spiders and flies all by themselves, and handle it with maturity and grace. Girls scream and squeal and call the closest boy to take care of it.

6. Having the fridge and cupboards all stocked.

Women have their kitchens all stocked with any spice, sauce, seasoning, veggie, fruit, or mixture that could be required for cooking. They are always prepared to make a hearty meal, whereas girls often times aren't too sure how to properly shop at a grocery store.

7. Memorizing their social security number.

Women are always knowledgable of their SSN. Life happens and ER trips are sometimes inevitable- a woman knows her social and all of her insurance information. A girl has to call her mom and ask for all of that.

8. Knowing how to dress the right way for an event.

Women know the right things to wear to flatter their bodies. They also know that you either show off the legs or the chest, but never both. Girls wear napkins as clothes.

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.
