10 Reasons You Know You've Found A Keeper
Jamie C. Pelletier

1. You're beyond in love with them

While having an "I don't need anyone's love, but my own" mindset can be good for self-confidence, I personally feel that there's nothing better than having someone to love, and who loves you back just as much. When you feel like you have someone who means more to you than absolutely anything, it's an unbelievable feeling.

2. You can't get enough of them

I spend most nights at my boy friend's house, and I always end up missing him like crazy when I don't. While most college girls spend their nights partying at frats, I'd much rather spend mine cuddled up next to my boyfriend and watching Netflix. Snuggling and being wrapped up in his arms beats inhaling vast amounts of tobacco at a hookah bar in my book!

3. Back rubs

Because having a boyfriend means always having someone to massage your back and play with your hair. Need I say anymore?

4. They get you

Whether you need help studying or you've been hurt, your partner will always be there for you. They understand you- they're your rock, your shoulder to cry on, and you can always rely on them.

5. You're literally the same person

Always having someone who's down to order take out, go on a crazy adventure, or just ready to jump at pretty much anything you suggest is the absolute best! You have that special connection, which can also include: reading each other's minds, finishing each other's sentences, and laughing at the same things.

6. The way they make you feel

That feeling you get when they send a thoughtful text, surprise you with something meaningful, pretty much whenever you think about them. Pure happiness.

7. You would do anything for them

You already spent the day doing their laundry and cleaning their room, but you know that if it ever came down to it, you'd take a bullet for them.

8. You love their family and pets like your own

If their mother already considers you her child-in-law, it probably means you're off to a good start. You know that if anything were to happen between you two, that you'd miss their family and their pets just as much.

9. You're constantly thinking about your future together

You know you've found a keeper when you can picture a clear future together. You've already talked about everything major, such as religion, children, and goals. You share each other's hopes and dreams, and have the same ones for your life together.

10. You wouldn't trade what you have with them for anything

For all the money in the world, for the most attractive man or woman on earth. There is nothing that compares to the relationship you have with them and you wouldn't do anything to put it in jeopardy. You are fully aware that you'd be completely, one-hundred percent lost without them. You love who you are because of them, and you know that without them you wouldn't be the same person you are today. They complete you, and you are beyond thankful for them.

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.
