During the dazzling teenage years of your life, you will occasionally run into these creatures that make you undergo all sorts of unusual discussions with yourself. You will find yourself arguing about how convinced you are that this monster is plotting to take over you, then later realize you've been talking to yourself about this for the past five minutes. You'll notice your body temperature rise and fall when "it" crawls in the room along with the pace of your thrilled heart growing at abnormal beats. Your hands will strain from pulling patches of hair off your scalp and your perplexed brain will loose communication connection to your frazzled heart. But cry no more! Follow these simple steps to save yourself from a heartbreak whilst getting rid of a filthy cockroach in your life.

1. Identify the Monster.

These creatures come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but most will have a blooming pair of eyes and a devilish smile to match. Do not let their curious hands explore the wonderland of your innocent body; their vile hands shouldn't touch a holy temple. They will whisper pretty things into your ears and convince you they can give you the world when they can't even name half the states in the U.S. If you find yourself stuck in a situation where temptation to cave into the devious tricks of this monster kicks in, think to yourself, "what would Beyoncé do?" Beyoncé is your spirit animal; do not let her down.

2. Study Yourself.

Learn your habits; learn your strengths; learn your weaknesses. Self-knowledge is vital. Memorize your flaws and continue to convince yourself that you are beautiful. You can sit there and try to believe you wake up flawless, but we all know we all look like walking disasters in the morning. Be the beautiful disaster you are.

3. Accept.

By now, you've tried to avoid any interaction with this hideously handsome creature, but "it" always comes back right around to curl its arms around you and weaken you at your knees. Your willpower just wasn't enough to keep yourself from making your way towards him. But jokes on you; accept the fact that you are helplessly in love. Let it happen, and embrace it. Being in love is the best and worst thing to happen to a teenage girl, but don't worry, Beyoncé is still proud of you for trying, you monster.

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.
