I am at a point in my life where many of my friends are in long-term relationships. Many of those same friends wouldn't mind spending the rest of their lives with their current significant others. I have always been the single friend who gives everyone else advice, and while I'm a little tired of third-wheeling, I don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon. Here's why:

1. I am terrified to make the first move.

When I see a cute boy, I pretty much keep my mouth shut... forever. I'm not likely to ask them to even hang out as friends, nonetheless on a date. I will never make the first move... I have zero confidence.

2. Commitment is kind of scary.

Not to sound old-fashioned or generalize, but commitment isn't what it used to be. People are usually never satisfied these days, and it's scary to see something so good go south so quickly.

3. Sometimes I expect too much.

From both myself and others. I get upset when I don't receive the results I expected, too. This would be a factor in a relationship that's hard to work with.

4. My mental health hasn't been great lately.

I cried over not being able to successfully cook ground meat yesterday.

5. Feelings are dumb.

Feelings can really blind you from seeing something for how it truly is.

6. Dating apps will never be my thing.

I'm never gonna be able to message first. I'm never gonna wanna hook up and I'm never gonna be smooth enough to interact with boys on Tinder.

7. I have zero time to relax.

My schedule is jam-packed with schoolwork, regular work, and other commitments. I don't even know when I'd be able to make time for a possible date.

8. I am not a patient person.

I'm working on it, but patience is so not my strong-suit.

9. I don't know how to flirt.

?????Is there a class for this??????

10. I don't go out enough to meet someone.

The parties I do go to are with friends and friends only.

11. I'm incredibly awkward around boys.

Palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti awkward.

12. I'm not actually actively looking for anything.

It'll happen when it happens, right?

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.
