No make-up can hide this

What really defines "ugly?" With age, I don't think that it's just looks anymore. Of course everyone sits on their own level of attractiveness, but the quirks or qualities of someone’s personality can really enhance or detract from their physical beauty. I've never been able to click with people with boring personalities, the lack of being able to converse and take a joke. No matter how actually good looking you are, if your attitude sucks, your face might as well, too.

So what really makes a person "ugly?"

Cockiness vs. Confidence. I know we're all familiar with this one. There's really nothing attractive about someone that trounces around like they can have and get whatever they want. Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and not feeling threatened by others, which, on the other hand, is totally attractive.

Open mindedness for me is a biggie. There isn't someone more ugly than someone who braces their opinions onto others. Someone that believes their opinion is always right and everyone else's opinions don't matter. Not being able to walk a mile in someone else's shoes or trying to understand where someone else is coming from pretty much makes you a close minded freak. Good luck continuing through life that way.

Negative Nancys -- I'm sure we all know a few. Some people just have a way of sucking all the positivity out of any situation. They are unhappy or angry about everything. Negative energy spreads like wildfire, and that certainly can make the most attractive people, well unattractive.

No one likes a Nosey Nancy either, people that somehow always manage to stick their nose into places where it doesn't belong. There's a difference in being interested and being nosey. We'd all be better off if we minded our own business.

Then, there are the narcissists, egotistical and conceited. Always desperate for the spotlight and sucking all the attention towards them. Monopolizing conversations and having the utmost controlling personalities. Certainly not pretty. Although there is healthy vanity, those with a good head on their shoulders, knowing the good and bad things about themselves, in which they are willing to work on.

And finally, selfishness. People who demonstrate a complete disregard for others. Never interested in anyone else's agenda or well being and certainly never thinking of the affects their actions will bring to others. These are the people that don't think twice about bringing other's down to hoist themselves up. Try being a little more selfless, talking less and listening more. People with honest interest are great listeners, curious an genuinely interested in others.

I believe the most beautiful people are the ones that are open and have the ability to bring the best out in others. The ones filled with humor and with a deep love for life. Embracing everyone around them with positivity and with interest to listen. No matter what body type or face shape, hair color, eye color or even what clothes they wear. A beautiful mind and soul mean far more than a beautiful face.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
