Rule 1: You must visit the Duck at least once in your life. Not many of us know why it's here, but it is.

Rule 2: Whatever beach you choose, you must stay loyal to that beach.

Rule 3: Brownstone's is a must for brunch. You haven't had brunch until you have had Brownstone's.

Rule 4: You must post a picture of your Diner By The Sea milkshake, after waiting ten minutes minimum for it.

Rule 5: Starbucks is always your first choice, always.

Rule 6: If a concert isn't playing at Jones Beach, you aren't going. No other theater on the island compares.

Rule 7: Never, ever, change at Jamaica.

Rule 8: All American's shakes may not be as pretty as Diner By The Sea, but they're always there for you (and open super late).

Rule 9: You're either a Frozen Cow fan, or a Marvel fan. No in betweens.

Rule 10: It's hard to live anywhere else when wherever you go you're always five minutes away from the beach.

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.

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.
