10 Reasons Why I'm Thankful For My Best Friend
Caroline Toone

We all have our person that carries us through it all. The person that is always there by your side, the person that can always make you laugh when you're feeling down, and the person you can always count on to be your rock. For some girls, it's their best friend, for some girls, it's their boyfriend. Luckily for me, my boyfriend and best friend is the same person. And for that I am thankful.

1. He treats me like a princess.

Whether it's taking me on fancy dates or being my babysitter after my wisdom teeth surgery, he always treats me like a royal highness. Not many guys would treat me as well as he does, and I'm so blessed he has that quality.

2. He loves me when I'm stressed.

Even though college can be stressful and I can get so wrapped up in trying to get the best grades, he's always there through the A's and the D's.

3. He understands why I cry over Grey's Anatomy.

The post-it note, 007, Lexi, McSteamy, McDreamy... too many feels.

4. He takes a million pictures with me even though he hates it.

Even though he'd rather be doing literally anything else than taking a picture twenty times because it looked awkward or the angle wasn't perfect, I'm thankful he smiles through it.

5. He shows me off like a trophy, but respects me at the same time.

He introduces me to everyone and makes me feel like I'm valued and wanted. He shows me off wrapped around his right arm, but always makes me feel incomparable.

6. He's always encouraging.

The daily texts he sends of "you got this" and "I'm so proud of you" never goes unnoticed. He's my biggest cheerleader and encourager and I couldn't be more thankful.

7. He sings in the car with me.

From Adele to Justin Bieber, he's always in the mood for rolling down the windows, blasting the music and singing at the top of his lungs with me.

8. We always end up eating when we're together.

Mexican food, Chick-Fil-A, Waffle House, Bojangles.. there are just so many good choices.

9. He always makes me laugh.

He has a great sense of humor and can make me laugh on the hardest of days. Whether he makes a corny joke, or is just being his goofball self, he never fails to make me crack a smile.

10. He's my best friend.

I can tell him anything and talk to him about everything. He's the shoulder I cry on and the first person I want to call after I've had a bad day.

Yes, I'm "one of those girls" that calls her boyfriend her best friend, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
