Ever since I was a young kid, I was always the closest to my mom. In all descriptions, she fit the classification of a best friend. In celebration of mothers and daughters who are best friends, I've formed a collection to prove why its awesome to be best friends with your mom.

1. Your mom is usually going to be honest – and sometimes a little too honest- about what she thinks of your haircut, outfit, new boyfriend, shoes, friends, and anything else you're involved in. While her opinions sometimes feel like too much, just know she's only looking out for you.

2. She's always prioritizing your health and safety above all else.You're practically her entire life, of course, so that is her most important task; or as she may call it, her superpower.

3. Another one of her top mom priorities is making sure you're happy and knowing when you are and aren't. Usually, it's not easy to hide emotions from your mom.

4. Mom's don't keep score, even though they know that they do way more for you than you do for them. They're fair, and they know that it's nearly impossible to catch up at this point anyways.

5. It does not matter what time or where; if she hears your call, she will answer. Bonus points for their unconditional ability to rush to you when they're needed, and of course when they're just wanted there as well.

6. She offers the best advice and chances are, she has been through the exact same thing that you're struggling with now. Moms are professionals when it comes to guidance.

7. When your friends or boyfriend cancels on you, mom is always there to hang out with you and binge watch Pretty Little Liars and eat whatever junk food you want, without judgement of course. And honestly, you'd rather be doing that anyways.

8. She doesn't get jealous of your other friends, and will even play the mom role in their life when needed. They have a gift for guiding everyone, believe it or not.

9. Along with number eight, your mom will never get jealous of what you have. What's hers is yours and what's yours is hers, right?

10. Worrying about her stealing your boyfriend or crush will never be an issue. No explanation necessary.

11. She'll get mad at you and you'll get mad at her, but you'll never stop loving each other or being best friends. You were literally made for each other.

12. She'll always be proud of you, because you're her beautiful daughter and she couldn't ask for anything more.

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.
