Moving out on your own? Here is what you need to know.

1. Your parents won't be right there when something goes wrong.

You know when you get into deep trouble with your landowner, roommate, or the police, your mom won't be there to handle the situation. Your an adult now, meaning you have to take full responsibility.

2. You're responsible for waking yourself up.

You know how your mom always would make your breakfast and make sure you were up on time? Yeah, she won't be there anymore. Meaning you better set a million alarms or you might miss class or even work. Then you start to become irresponsible.

3. You have to manage your finances.

You're now responsible for paying all the bills, meaning you have to manage your money reasonably. No more binge spending and eating out all of the time.

4. Your gonna have to do chores.

Unless you want a messy house you are gonna have to clean and do your own laundry. That's right, your mom and dad won't be there to do it for you.

5. There's tons of freedom.

You can literally do whatever you want to your place and in your place. Although you still have to be responsible about everything you decide, because it may cause you to do something you shouldn't. There's still rules when living on your own that you are required to follow that are set by your landowner or roommates.

6. You make up your own rules.

Speaking of rules, you get to set your own curfew and visiting rules. You can make it as strict or as free as you want in your own place.

7. The responsibility is unreal.

With all the bills, cleaning, and adulting that it takes to live on your own it gets exhausting. Although, if you stick with it enough you will get the hang of it and it will seem effortless and the stress will go away.

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.
