Yeah, I may be a 70-year-old woman trapped in a 19-year-old body, so what? I’m like a fine bottle of wine, better aged. Every friend group has them and can undoubtedly point that person out. You play an essential role in the dynamics of the friend group and are the calm to everyone’s storm. I prefer the term “mature” rather than "old."

10 signs you’re the grandma of the friend group:

1. Wine is 9 times out of 10 your drink of choice.

Why would you want to sip on Natty Light when there’s Pinot Grigio? Still gets the job done.

2. You refuse to pull an all-nighter and are rarely in bed past 10 p.m. on school nights.

You'll never regret that full night of sleep.

3. Yet you’re the first one to wake up every morning.

Waking up at 9:30 is considered sleeping in.

4. Whenever your friends ask if you’re going out your answer is, “I don’t know, want to have a wine night instead?”

5. And when you do venture out, you’re the first one to ask if anyone wants to leave.

"Uber will be here in 10 if anyone wants to join."

6. You’ve replaced your finsta with a food insta or an insta for your dog.

Please, we've moved on to bigger and better.

7. Nothing excites you more than a good sale.

You know every promo code, where you can find that Free People top for cheaper, and the only notifications you get on your phone are from sales on your fashion apps.

8. You’re constantly complaining about every ache and pain in your body.

There's always something wrong, and you can never take too much Advil.

9. When your friends need to find you, you’re most likely at home.

Debating turning off my location on Find My Friends so people don't judge me for the unhealthy amount of time I spend at home.

10. When grandma does hit the town, the town takes a hit.

Who doesn't love old people? This grandma's still got it.

We're just a step ahead of everyone else.

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.
