We all have one; that one best friend who absolutely refuses to give your family their personal space.

For this friend, your entire home is their oyster. They happily eat the food out of your pantry, put their bare feet up on your coffee table, and throw curse words around your parents like it's MTV. However, how you view this friend varies based on your status in your own best friend's home.

Here are 12 sure-fire signs that you and your best friend's families have merged into one.


1. You don't ask permission to come over, you just walk inside the house.

2. You never hesitate to ask for food at each other's houses. Instead, you can literally go into their kitchen and grab whatever you want.

4. You get an automatic invite to any family parties or events.

And you never feel out of place because you already know the extended family.

5. You always get asked if you two are sisters when you go out with their family and you secretly love it.

Ironically, you guys actually look nothing alike.

6. At this point, both your parents have even become good friends.

7. You have easily spent hours planning out elaborate vacations together, and actually go on them.

8. You can spend the entire day watching Netflix in their living room without feeling bored.

9. You have been snowed in together for multiple days on end and didn't feel an urge to pull out each other's hair.

In fact, it was so much fun you wish it could have lasted longer.

10. You call each other's parents Mom and Dad.

11. Your best friend's parents have given you valuable life advice from the heart and vice versa.

12. You're both always welcome at each other's houses anytime. No exceptions.

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.
