11 Reasons Why Your Boyfriend Should Also Be Your Best Friend

Spending time with your significant other is time that is always cherished. Whether it's a night of spontaneous activities or just hanging out and snuggling on the couch for hours, it's never boring. Being together is something that we're always down to do, no matter what. It's an incredible feeling to know that you always have someone right by your side, supporting you every step of the way. A partner that takes your hand and walks through every adventure with you.

But life becomes even more gratifying when your boyfriend is also your best friend.

Here's why:

1. You can make each other laugh for days.

When you're also best friends, you understand each other's humor like no other. Whether you're playfully poking fun at one another or giggling over the same silly comment someone made in class, laughter is key. It brings people closer together and makes them happy. Come on, who doesn't like to spend their day laughing with their significant other?

2. You have TV shows that you both watch together.

Nothing better than bonding over the same show. And when someone watches an episode without the other, it's never a good idea. It's something to look forward to at the end of the day when you just want to unwind together.

3. You can literally tell each other anything and everything.

It's nice to have someone you can always trust no matter what, especially when you really need to vent and just let it all out. Plus, this builds a unique kind of trust between the two of you, which is always a good thing.

4. You don't have to be afraid to be yourself.

When the two of you are also best friends, nothing "weirds you out." You can be as eccentric and carefree as you want, because they'd never judge you for being you. They accept each and every part of you no matter what.

5. You always have someone cheering you on.

Having someone who always believes in the best of you is very fulfilling. They help to bring out the best possible version of yourself. They are motivating in every way possible. We feel encouraged each day by each other, and there's nothing better. It's so comforting to have your number one support system right by your side.

6. You can always ask each other for any kind of advice.

The two of you are always willing to listen to what's going on with each other because you genuinely care. You're there for each other when the other is having a serious crisis or just doesn't know what to wear with what. Either way, they never let you down.

7. You have no problem being honest with each other.

When you're super close, honesty is always key. At this level, you can take a little bit of constructive criticism or truthful opinions without getting offended. You know that they're just trying to look out for you and want you to be the best that you can be. You should be completely comfortable with this person at all times.

8. You know what one another is thinking just by the look on their face.

When you can tell what each other is thinking just by a look on their face, that's when you know it's real. It's a special talent. How he can tell when I don't like someone is beyond me!

9. You can steal each other's clothes.

OK, I'm probably the one in the relationship that does the stealing of the clothes, but still. He's probably not too happy about it, but what can I say? I just feel so comfortable and safe in that sweatshirt, so you just can't say no! (Oh, and P.S., when you say, "Can I borrow?" it actually means "I'm keeping this").

10. You're always each other's first choice.

There's no one else you'd rather be with. No one else you'd rather snuggle up and watch a movie with. No one else you'd rather do your errands with. They're always there. The first and last thing on your mind each day.

11. You're connected on a much deeper level.

At this point, you know each other like the back of your hand. You always know what to expect from one another. Having someone by your side every step of the way is like nothing else. Just being there with each other is enough. They've been through it all with you, and still love you at your worst. Now that's a connection.

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.
