Urban dictionary defines a first world problem as, "Problems from living in a wealthy, industrialized nation that third worlders would probably roll their eyes at."

We are all guilty of complaining about at least half of the following:

1. When you're watching three different TV shows at once, so sometimes you have to manually type in the channel number instead of pressing the "last" button on the remote.

2. When your fortune cookie doesn't have a fortune in it.

3. When there isn't a proper emoji to convey the exact emotion you're feeling.

4. When your mom buys whole carrots instead of baby carrots and then you have to peel them yourself.

5. When your phone charger chord is too short to comfortably use your phone in bed while it's charging.

6. When you buy a new phone and have to log in to all of your accounts again.

7. When you lose your phone on silent.

8. When you binge watch a Netflix show too fast, and then have to wait for the next season.

9. When someone texts you in the middle of watching a youtube video on your phone.

10. When all of the self-checkouts are full at the grocery store, and you actually have to talk to real people.

11. When you're too full from dinner to eat dessert.

12. When you're out of milk.

13. When you can't find the remote.

14. When you don't want to eat left overs.

15. When there are too many commercials.

16. When you can't find a good parking spot.

17. When your phone uses auto-correct too much.

18. When there's nothing on TV.

19. When you're out of toilet paper.

20. When your friend has an annoying ring tone.

21. When Words With Friends won't accept your word.

22. When the Xbox controller dies in the middle of a fight.

23. When you accidentally like someones Instagram picture from 73 weeks ago.

24. When you have to pee in the middle of a movie.

25. When the Starbucks barista spells your name wrong.

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.
