10 Signs Your Big Is Your Second Mom

1. She Calls You Her Child

Yes, there is a really good chance that your big has referred to you as her child. Don’t deny that there’s been numerous moments when she’s called you ‘child’, ‘little one’, or some other variation of the sort.

2. She’s Always on Your Case

It doesn’t matter if it's grades, your new boyfriend, or what you’re doing at any given time. She’s on it and she must always know.

3. He Needs Her Approval

When mom isn’t there to meet and greet a potential/new boyfriend, your big steps in and her approval is almost essential. If big doesn’t like him, it’s almost always a no-go.

4. You Want to Make Her Proud

Even if you don’t realize it, you really want to make your big proud. You’ll find yourself wondering from time to time if a specific action would do the trick and when it does it’s such a rewarding feeling.

5. She’s Always Proud

From getting into your academic program, getting a new job, even right down to mastering something small, it seems that no matter what you do, your big is always proud of you.

6. She Flaunts You Around

Just like mom would, your big gets excited over your accomplishments and she often shows you off to everyone with a pulse any and every chance she gets. Even if it’s something little, everyone knows about you.

7. She’s Protective

She is the mother bear and you are her cub. She’s always looking out for you and always has your back and best interest in mind. If anyone so much as looks at you funny, she strikes and it could get ugly.

8. You Go to Her For Advise

When your mom isn’t there, you go to your big and she would never lead you astray. She has experience under her belt and will be more than happy to help you whenever the time calls for it.

9. She Bends Over Backward For You

Your big would do anything for you. If it's homework help, a ride home from a party, even if you need an extra dollar at Starbucks, she's got you covered.

10. Her Love is Unconditional

No matter what, she will always love you.

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.
