10 Signs You're More Like Family Than Friends
McKenzie Evans

Have you ever wondered if you and your best friend are actually family? Well, here are a couple of signs:

1. You know each other's garage codes.

You get to your best friend's house and no one is home? No problem -- you can just type in the code and chill until someone gets home.

2. You know where everything is located in the kitchen.

Isn't it awful when you go to someone's house and have to look through all the cabinets just to find a glass for your water? By the time you actually find it, you feel like you wasted half of your life. Well luckily for you, this isn't a problem you have at your best friend's house.

3. You hang out with your friend's parents when your friend is not around.

Your friend isn't home? There's no one to talk to? Nonsense. Their parents are just as good as them... or maybe better.

4. You know how to work their shower.

Is it not the worst when you are ready to get in the shower at a friend's house and then you realize you don't know how to work the dang thing?! Well this isn't your problem anymore. You are so familiar with it that you have started to teach their other guests.

5. You know the extended family.

Family party? You're there. I mean, its not a problem because you already know everyone.

6. You have the inside scoop on all the family drama.

You are around your friends family so much that they feel like you are part of the family, so they always have to catch you up on latest family fiasco.

7. Your Wi-Fi connects automatically.

Nothing better than walking into a house and automatically connecting to the WiFi. Nobody has time for those crazy long passwords anymore.

8. You can get food without asking.

Congrats! You have passed that awkward point of asking if there is any food you could possibly eat. Instead, you go grab your armful from the fridge and plop back down on the couch next to your other family.

9. You have to help clean the house.

There's people coming over? Hope you know where all the cleaning supplies are located!

10. You get in trouble with their parents just as much as yours.

The worst part of being more like family than friends? You get in trouble from your friend's parents like you are one of their children. You consider yourself to be, but you hoped that discipline wasn't included in that.

Having friends that are more like family is awesome, even if it does mean getting yelled at and helping clean a house. At least you're getting some free food out of it.

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.
