I am the mom of my friend group and I am proud of it. You may be the mom of your friend group if you do any of these 12 things.

1. Your purse looks like a mom's.

You may be the mom of your group if your purse looks like a bunch of junk inside. It is also really heavy from carrying all of the stuff in it.

2. You are prepared for every emergency with what's in your purse.

You may be the mom of your group if your heavy purse contains everything under the sun. You are super prepared with band-aids, Advil, alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer, some type of gum and a bunch of snacks. If it came down to it, you could survive for days just based off of these supplies.

3. Your friends ask you for this emergency stuff.

Since your friends know that you have all of this stuff, they are constantly asking you for it. They just aren't prepared for life honestly if they do.

4. They ask to borrow money a lot. But they do pay it back.

For some reason, once you are labeled as a mother, your friends will find the need to ask you for money since you always carry it on you. Except unlike they do to their real mothers, they actually pay you back.

5. They will ask you for your "motherly advice."

Often times, since your friends think you are responsible, they think that it is okay to ask you really big life questions. These questions might include anything from the topic of sex to how to eat more healthy.

6. They most likely won't ask you to go out with them because you are boring.

More likely than not, your friends will not ask you to go out with them since you remind them of a mom. Meaning your definition of fun is to go to sewing circles and staying up past 10.

7. When you do go out with them you act like a mother.

Sometimes they feel brave and ask you to go out with them because they feel badly that they haven't in a while. They are soon reminded that going out with you means that it will be a evening of you telling them what not to do.

8. You try to embarrass them in front of their other friends and significant other.

One of your key roles in being the mom of the group is to constantly embarrass your children when they are with other people by telling them stories of what happened when they made that dumb decision.

9. They will ask you to help them get out of their problems.

If you are the mom of the group, it is not uncommon to get a drunk call from of the friends to say they did something really dumb. It is now up to you to help them get out of it whether you like it or not because you feel responsible somehow.

10. You care about them so much, it creeps them out sometimes.

You caring about your friends often creeps them out because you do in fact act like a second mother to them.

11. You wipe the tables down at restaurants because you think they are very dirty.

Classic sign of being the mom here is that you take a wipe and then wipe down the whole table, because mom's are afraid of you getting sick.

12. They even call you mom.

You know that you have fully embraced the mom lifestyle when you get called "mom" by your friends.

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.
