What is it like being late all the time? It's a very complicated and frustrating process. I am one of those people that is always trying to be on time but is always late no matter how hard I try to be on time. There are stages to being late and but there is no going back to fix it once you already realize you're going to be late.

1. You start out being so confident that you can be on time. Thinking I can do this, I am going to be on time today!

2. You think "oh I don't need to get ready yet I have plenty of time before I have to leave I'll still be on time."

3. You realize okay I really need to start getting ready now.

4. You get distracted while getting ready so it takes you longer than a normal person to end up getting ready.

5. You realize you need to leave in half an hour and you're only half way ready and just wonder how is this possible.

6. You need to leave in 5 minutes to get there on time and start thinking maybe today isn't going to be the day you are actually on time.

7. You've accepted you aren't going to be on time, because that would mean you need to leave now and that it's okay because you're just a late person.

8. You were suppose to leave 10 minutes ago to be there on time.

9. You were suppose to be there already but you're still at home just about to leave.

10. You decided tomorrow is a new day and you will try harder to be on time then.

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.
