10 Things That Happen When You're A Third-Wheel

If you ever had a day full of third-wheeling, then here's some things that might have happened to you.

1. There's never enough room on the sidewalk for all three people.

Every third-wheeler should be in front of the pack, just like you're leading an army to battle. Being behind while walking on the sidewalk is just sad.

2. As a third wheel, your job is to take pictures.

You're like a photographer for the day, taking pictures of the couple in front of random objects.

3. When you're third wheeling and they start arguing.

You literally get so fluster and sweaty while the couple is bickering. You have no idea what to do, should you leave? Should you stay? So many questions race through your mind.

The worst part is when they ask who's the right one in the argument. Run.

4. When you're third-wheeling and they start making out.

What do you do? Just pretend you don't see them? Leave the room? Find a new and single friend? There's just no words to describe the awkwardness.

5. You'll hear, "Don't worry you're not going to be the third-wheel," at least 100 times, but you always end up being the third-wheel.

Your friend will convince you to come with them and swears that you will not be the third wheel. Approximately 30 seconds into hanging out with the couple, the wheels start turning and the third-wheel is officially comes into motion.

6. You realize that the only thing that gets you through being a third-wheel is alcohol.

You're not a third-wheel anymore, vodka is your date now.

7. You keep having high hopes that you'll eventually reach a Harry-Ron-Hermione friendship, but it never seems to work out that way.

Being a third-wheel is like wearing that invisibility cloak.

8. Sometimes you wish you stayed home and been a unicycle for the night.

Unicycles are fun.

9. During the third-wheel date, you think to yourself, "I can't believe I thought this wouldn't be this weird."

It became very weird, very quickly.

10. In the end, you are happy for them, but you secretly hope they won't invite you to anymore places.

Deep down you're extremely happy for their happiness, but you're tired of looking down at your phone during awkward third wheeling moments. Maybe skipping a few dates isn't such a bad thing.

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.
