We've all told white lies before, right? You know you have, and you've probably said these 12 exact lies, to yourself and to other people.

Yes, I want my copy of the receipt

We say yes, but we don't need it. We KNOW it's going to end up crumpled on the floor of our cars or at the bottom of a bag somewhere.

Oh shoot, I left my homework at home/on the bus/in my locker

Yes I did it, but I left it at home. Classic cop-out response to get half credit on homework assignments we didn't do

I have read and understood the terms and conditions

HAHAHA no I did not read that 40 page size 3.5 font document, but imma click the box anyway.

I'm on my way

Translation: soon I'll be in the car and THEN I'll be on my way.

Yeah, I floss twice every day

Does anybody ever actually remember to floss twice a day? I definitely don't, but that's not what I tell my hygienist.

That baby is SO adorable!

Let's be real with each other. All babies look the same, first of all, and they also all kind of look like smushed marshmallows.

No, I don't have any other questions

This actually means, "I am so lost that I don't even know what I don't know".

I'll do it in the morning

No, you won't.

 That looks great on you

It doesn't exactly look bad either though, so we'll go with great

 Thank you so much I love it

Translation: I really have no use for this and it will end up at the bottom of my closet, but thank you anyway!

 My phone died

Nope, you just didn't want to leave your house.

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.
