10 Reasons Why You Are Just Like Your Mom

Mother's Day is just around the corner. It’s a perfect time to show your mom just how much you love her by buying her flowers or jewelry and some DIY project you found on Pinterest. For some reason, though, you pick out something you would like, too, so you just grab/make two. Then, you realize you are just like your mom. Crap. Show your mom a little more love and share why you are just like her.

1. You tell your friends to be safe going home.

“Text me when you’re home safe!” you say to them as they walk out of your house. Being worried about your friends’ safety is like a second nature to you. You may deny the feeling at first, but embracing it is the best thing you can do to show others that you actually do care about them.

2. You always make sure everyone has the appropriate attire on.

It’s 40 degrees outside, and you’re about to go out when your friend walks out in a tank and jeans. Uh, you are going to freeze! “You may want to grab a jacket ,so you don’t get sick.” Your friend looks at you like your crazy and walks out the door. All right, don’t blame me when you get sick.

3. You’re curious and worried about the new guy your friend is seeing.

Your BFF starts going on dates with a new guy; you’ve seen pictures of him, but you don’t know anything about him. The more time she spends with him, the more worried you become. “I want to meet this boy!”

4. You question when your friends are coming back.

You worry way too much, so when your friends go out, you always question when they will be back, so you know if you should listen for them or not. When they finally do come back, you want to know about everything that happened that night.

5. You plan out an agenda for your entire day.

Every morning, you write on a sticky note or in your phone everything you have to do that day, especially when you’re stressed out. You have the memory of a squirrel, so if you don’t write it down, then it won’t get done.

6. You sass people way too much.

You take every opportunity to give sass to anyone because why not? Someone asks a stupid question, give him or her a stupid answer. “Where should I put this trash?” “Oh, try the refrigerator.”

7. You bring hand sanitizer to ever where you go.

You never know when you’re going to touch something disgusting or go somewhere without sinks (porta potty, ew). No one is about to have germs today because GermX is here to save the day.

8. You turn down the music in your car when you talk.

I hate to cut a jam session short, but I have to say something about the sky. Talking over anyone or anything is not something you enjoy doing, so turn down that music and listen up! There’s no point in talking louder when you can basically turn the music off.

9. You get mad at little things.

“Where you born in a barn? Throw away your trash!” Any little thing that goes wrong or is inconvenient to you, anger takes over your body, and you have a meltdown (either yelling or crying depending on the day).

10. You always have some kind of medicine with you.

Someone has a headache at dinner? Don’t worry, you have ibuprofen. Someone has an upset stomach at a party? No problem, you grabbed some Pepto before you left. Your friend has cramps? Don’t sweat, there’s a Motrin in your purse!

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.
