13 Reasons Why The Best Friend I Will Ever Have Is My Mom, As Told By Gilmore Girls

Nothing rivals friendship quite like Lorelai and Rory's relationship. Just like Rory, my mom is the best friend I could ever ask for. She's my BFFFL (extra F for emphasis).

1. She is always there for me

She always helps me with whatever I need, whenever I need it.


2. She understands and shares my love of food

Although I can no longer enjoy with her like I used to due to my food allergies, that doesn't change the fact that she will always be my eating buddy. You know food is important when you are willing to drive 107 blocks just to get your favorite froyo.


3. She gives the best hugs

No matter when, where, or what the situation is, she is always there and ready to embrace me on a moments notice.


4. She is loyal without question

If I hate her, mom hates her. No questions. No hesitations.


5. She always knows my true intentions

As much as I hate to admit it, my mom tends to always be right, and she can always tell when I have a hidden agenda.


6. I always know how she is feeling

I'd like to think that I know how she is feeling, but even if I don't, I do think she misses me while I'm away.


7. We have a standing Friday night date

When dad goes to the football games, it's girls night. Whether we just watch a movie, or we go out for dinner, no matter what we do just being together ensures we will have a good time.


8. We laugh even when no one else understands what is funny

Our inside jokes are endless, and even if no one else gets it, that won't stop us from laughing until our bellies hurt.


9. She taught me how to be silly

By always making me smile, she taught me how to share a little laughter with whomever may need it.

10. She supports me

She lets me make my own choices in what I want to do with my life.


11. She's taught me the right way to handle things

She gives the best advice and always knows the way to cope with every situation.


12. She is my rock

She is there for laughs, smiles, and even tears. If someone breaks my heart, I know she will hold me while I cry and then go kick his ass.


13. She is (almost) always down for a sleepover

When I'm at home, it's never an issue if I can't sleep. I get in bed to cuddle... Which almost always means dad moves to my bed or the couch.


Thank you mom! No matter what happens, I know that you will always be there for me.

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.
