10 Signs You're The Mom Of The Friend Group
Kiera Stubbs

Almost every tight friend group includes a mom of the squad. I, myself, could never take on this duty (I prefer the child role), but we all have that friend in mind who keeps us in check. This ultra-responsible person functions as a best friend and a mom all in one. Bonus! To all you mom-friends out there, I'm sure you can relate:

1. You make sure to pack snacks for every outing, just in case someone gets hungry.

2. When you're in your friends' messy dorms, you can't help but tidy up a bit.

3. Friday nights out are spent monitoring your friends and making sure they don't embarrass themselves.

3. Requiring that they all text you when they get home safely.

5. You're the first to disapprove of your friend's new boy.

6. But you're also the first to dry your friend's tears when he turns out to be a jerk.

7. Your friends are happy to sit back and let you take charge of everything: uber rides, ordering takeout, making plans, etc.

8. Heck yeah, you're responsible — someone has to be!

9. When your friends call you lame, you feel the need to defend yourself, but just end up sounding even more lame.

10. At the end of the day, you know your friends appreciate all that you do (and that they would be goners without 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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
