I could list many more reasons than just ten, but here are some of my favorites.

10 Reasons Why You're My Best Friend

First of all, I want to say thank you for coming into my life, I thank God every day to have someone as amazing as you. I know I don’t always tell you how I feel about our friendship or how much I treasure it but here it goes.

1. You're always down for spontaneous "dates."

I know you’re only a text away when I’m bored out of my mind and feeling a little adventurous. I can always count on you to pick me up in 5 and we just drive around aimlessly for hours listening to music.

2. You’re there for me no matter what.

Even when you’re mad at me you still manage to help me through everything whether it’s help with homework or some dumb boy. You listen to me and let me vent and then you always know exactly what to say to make me feel better.

3. All the inside jokes.

Throughout the years there have been endless laughs and memories made. Sometimes we find ourselves laughing at the jokes we made back in middle school that weren’t even that funny but kind of stupid actually. Some of the best laughs come from all the jokes that have been shared.

4. I know I can make fun of you and you won’t be offended (and vice versa).

Going back to reason number 3, I think most of our jokes relate to us just making fun of each other. Whether it’s laughing at our random blonde moments or pulling a prank on the each other, I can always count on you for a good laugh.

5. You always know how to cheer me up.

When I’m having a bad day you know exactly what will make me feel better. Even though sometimes we’re not together you still send me cute dog videos from Facebook because you know that’ll put a smile on my face in about 2 seconds. Of course, it’s better when you’re here because then you can pick me up to get ice cream and drive around, nothing beats that.

6. You’ve seen me at my worst and still love me for who I am.

When I’m broken up about something whether it be a boy or a bad grade and I’m just miserable you comforted me and gave me time to heal and get past that rough patch and I love you for it.

7. We can hang out for days (and sometimes weeks) in a row and not get tired of each other.

We used to get on each other’s last nerve when we hung out for a couple of hours but as we’ve gotten older I think we’ve both learned to appreciate each other more and more. I can spend each day with you and somehow we still manage to find a new adventure.

8. When we see each other for the first time in a long time, it’s like we were never apart.

Sometimes it can be awkward for people to hang out after going months without seeing each other, but not us. I think I could move across the country for a year then come back and things would not change one bit.

9. You always seem to have my best interests at heart.

Whether it’s clothes, boys, or jobs, you always tell me straight up what you think even if it’s not exactly what I want to hear. You tell me how it is and even though I may not be happy hearing it, I know it’s probably true because you’re always thinking of me.

10. We can communicate with a “look.”

If we make eye contact at the right time in certain situations and we give each other “that look” we know we’re thinking the exact same thing. I mean we’ve basically been the same person since the day we met but we don’t need words to communicate, a simple glance from the other side of the room will get our point across.

Basically what I’m saying is that I love you. I love you for who you are as a person and for being in my life every day. I’m beyond grateful to have someone like you and I’m not sure what I would do without you. You keep me on my toes day in and day out but that’s what makes this friendship so exciting and strong. Always know that I’m here for you the same way you’re there for me. Thanks for being my best friend.

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.
