If you're like me, you know nothing is quite better than finding the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe while shopping, sliding your credit card through the machine (the chip killed this vibe) and walking out of that store knowing the next day you're about to look on fleek. But there are some downsides to shopping all the time, I'm just sorry I had to be the one to admit it. Trust me when I tell those who don't understand, the perfect pair of shoes can be more powerful than that of a drug. Here are 12 things every shopaholic is guilty of.

1. Being subscribed to all your favorite stores email and mailing lists so when there's an event, you're the first one there! (online or virtually).

2. Being on a first name basis with the manager and associates at "your" store.

3. Receiving special discount cards in the mail for being one of the top shoppers.

4. Constantly online shopping, I mean constantly. In class, in the bathroom, before bed, while driving (jk don't do that), at the alter. I mean seriously.

5. Any notification of a sale makes your heart drop because you couldn't get to your computer quickly enough.

6. When you're broke yet still putting things in your cart or window shopping just to feel complete.

7. Having the perfect outfit planned in your head as you scour the racks for the perfect items.

8. Shopping when your happy, sad, bored, jealous, lonely, angry. All emotions really.

9. Having a closet full of clothes that you honestly haven't worn each thing more than twice.

10. And the few things you have worn more than twice are the things you wear everyday and can't seem to put to the side to try something new.

11. Daydreaming more about Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots than boys.

12. Going out to buy something new for an event the same day because nothing you have will do.

Truthfully it's the only thing keeping us all half sane.

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.
