FUN FACT: You are probably lactose intolerant.

Considering that approximately 65% of the world's human population suffers from a lactase deficiency after infancy, the odds are not in your favor. As we grow older, we lose a lot of the lactase enzymes that were necessary for nourishing our bodies as a child.

If you're still in denial, that's okay. Just remember the next time you eat a Dairy Queen Blizzard and reap some less-than-pleasant symptoms...it's the lactose intolerance devil inside of you.

As good old Teddy Rosevelt once said, “nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life." AMEN, Teddy.

Sometimes, the pain is worth the ice cream and queso. Here are 7 signs you're lactose intolerant, but honestly don't care enough to give up dairy.

1. "Are you sure you can you eat that, [insert name here?]


The answer is no, but I'm going to eat it anyway.

2. Ordering food you DEFINITELY should not be ordering.


Because sometimes, it's WORTH THE CHEESE FRIES.

3. Being endlessly taunted by your friends for being unable to consume dairy products.


Natural selection is coming for us.

4. Going to ice cream with your friends, because YOLO.


Don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences.

5. REGRET.


When your stomach starts doing.........the thing - you know it's all over for you.

6. Swearing to never let the evil spirits that are dairy products come near you ever again.


This happens every time, but this time is different!!!

7. But hey, you'll never cry over spilt milk.


How punny.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
