1. People referring to your bedroom as a "cave"

Every time you look to dip to your room someone says, "There she goes off to her cave."

2. Love being alone

As much as you love hanging out with your friends you love me time more.

3. Social anxiety

When your around your friends you are comfortable and can hold a conversation easily. If you have to interact with anyone you don't know in a social setting without a little liquid courage you get hit with a wave of social anxiety and awkwardness. Small talk is your enemy.

4. Being non-existent

Your parents or siblings will have friends over and if you happen to come out of your room to meet them they say, "Oh this is the one I never met," or sometimes it'll be, "I didn't know you had another daughter or sister."

5. Partnering up in class

This is the absolute worst. You hate working on projects with other classmates that you don't know. If you get the chance to work alone you'll take it.

6. Rainy days

These are hands down your favorite days. Laying in bed at home on a grey day binge watching your favorite television show. You would do this on any sunny day too but at least the rain is an excuse so others don't think you're lazy. They may not understand that we just love down time.

7. The daydreamer

Since you're quiet and don't like to talk much you spend a lot of time daydreaming. You come up with different scenarios and stories in your head. Your imagination grows more each day.

8. Feeling alone in the biggest of crowds

No matter how many people you are surrounded by you always feel like a misunderstood outsider.

9. I'm not shy

Being an introvert doesn't necessarily mean you're shy. Just because you prefer not to say much doesn't mean you don't have a lot to say.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
