15 Things You Should Thank Your Boyfriend For

Sometimes we take the little things for granted, so here are 15 things you should thank your boyfriend for:

1. For putting up with the amount of hair you shed because let's be honest, your hair is everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

2. For listening to you talk about makeup, clothes, jewelry, and other things he really doesn't know anything about. Yet he sits there listening politely and nodding his head as though he's actually learned something from the 75 billion makeup tutorials you've forced him to sit and watch.

3. For taking care of you when you're sick, and I'm not talking you 'just have a cough' sick. I'm talking the 'your nose being raw and red from blowing it so much and your eyes are puffy from lack of sleep' kind of sick. The kind of sick where everyone asks you "Did you forget to put on makeup this morning?" or they say things like "You should really go to the doctor."

4. For telling you that you're the most beautiful woman he's ever seen even when you're in an over-sized t-shirt, the oldest pair of sweat pants that you own, and you don't have a stitch of makeup on.

5. For calling you out when you're fighting with one of your friends and he knows you're the one who's in the wrong.

Usually, his facial expression looks a little like this:

6. For waiting for you to catch up when you're a few episodes behind on the Netflix series you've both been binge watching for the past 6 weeks.

7. For being the only person who's able to make you laugh even on your worst days.

8. For understanding that you're totally and utterly crazy and being 100% accepting about it.

9. For being okay with you sending him 20 text messages in an hour because you're bored and you miss him.

10. For basically being your own personal chauffeur.

11. For not getting angry whenever you wear his favorite sweatpants and keep them in your closet for the next 6 months. Let's face it, they're your favorite sweatpants now too.

12. For buying you chocolate and heating up a heating pad for you when it's that time of the month. Not to mention putting up with your mood swings.

13. For listening to you cry when you don't even know why you're crying.

14. For spending time with all of your extended family over the holidays and acting like there's nowhere he'd rather be.

15. And lastly, for not only being your boyfriend but for also being your best friend and biggest supporter.


We don't really realize how much our significant others do for us. They are really there for us through it all. So, have you thanked yours yet today?

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.
