Traits You Have When You're 19 Going On 79

As much as we try to fight it, some of us just have old souls at a very early age. If you’re one of the lucky, easily satisfied few, here are some characteristics about you.

1. You know how to cook.

Not only do you know, but you love it. For nearly any social gathering, you’ll offer to make something just because. More so than just popping things in the microwave or oven, you can read off of recipes and maybe even measure out a few ingredients.

2. You know how to sew.

Nothing too major, but it’s no problem for you to repair a hole or rip in anything.

3. You own an iron.

Because you hate wrinkles and love looking presentable.

4. You have no problem saying no to going out.

When you’ve had a long day of work, class or you just don’t feel like leaving the house at 10 p.m., you have absolutely no problem resting with a good book and cup of tea. You’re pretty shameless about it, really.

5. You love a good movie.

Really and truly, a movie night with good company is an ideal night.

6. You like to sleep.

Not the kind of sleep where you stay up late and sleep until noon sleep, but balanced sleep. You’re in bed by a decent hour and up by a decent hour too, most likely before anyone else on both ends.

7. You keep a schedule.

A little spontaneity never killed anybody, but you have to be reminded of that because you're a creature of habit. You really like knowing what your day looks like so you can prepare for it, and you're not really one to “go with the flow.”

8. You appreciate the little things.

The little things such as a nice breeze, running into someone that you didn't expect to see or some really good music mean more to you than most people.

9. You love things that most people have never heard of.

Speaking of that good music and those books, they’re either from time periods no one pays much attention to or from a really unpopular source. You can talk about your fascination all you want while your friends will smile and nod, but few people will actually know what you’re talking a bout.

10. You’re a traditionalist.

You can go along with significant changes to society, but you have core values that are at the heart of why you are. With this, it’s still the little things: lack of phone usage, boys coming up to your door for a date and spending quality time with people.

11. Your sense of humor isn't the best.

Well, other people don't think it is. You think it’s great that you're amused by a corny joke, street sign or commercial. Honestly, the cheesier the better.

12. You’re good at keeping up with people.

Not only that, but you love it. You really value relationships and know how to put effort into them.

13. You’re smart about money.

You just don't see the value in blowing it off, your money is cherished because you know how it’s earned.

14. You’re technologically impaired.

You know a solid half of what people your age know about how to use anything electronic, and you really don't care to learn unless you have to. God bless your friends, because they’re always explaining things to you, making fun of you minimally.

15. Peer pressure has never applied to you.

Above all else, you’re completely content doing your own thing and you don't feel like you’re missing out on any new trend that you just don’t understand or want to be a part of. You know how to make your life exactly what you want it to be, and you’re unashamedly you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
