15 Times 'Parks and Rec' Accurately Described Long-Distance Friendships
www.vulture.com

So you moved for a job, or a relationship, but you never imagined long-distance friendships would be so tough. Making new friends and wading through all the preliminary friendship stuff is hard when you already have that one friend at home who can come over in their pajamas and bring you McFlurries, or knows how to have an entire conversation using mainly eyebrow expressions. Here are 15 times when "Parks and Rec" knew that the struggle was real:

1. So you did it. You packed up and said goodbye, but you still don't want to leave your person.

2. And why would you want to?They know everything about you.

You literally begin to doubt whether you'll be able to survive.

3. And when they tell you to have a good time without them and make new friends, it's an offense to your soul.

4. Because, really, on some days you don't want to be with anyone else in the entire world.

5. When they tell you that they're coming to visit, though, the whole world suddenly gets brighter.

6. Because when you're together, you come up with the best ideas...

7. ...introduce them to your new friends and try not to show partiality...

8. (which is definitely hard, considering how much you know they'll charm everyone)

9. And even when you get upset at each other, you know that face-to-face time is a precious commodity so you keep it short.

10. Because- let's be honest- you secretly know that they are the best in the history of time and space.

11. Despite the distance, your loyalty game is still fierce.

12. So when they need you, you'll convince your boss to give you work leave...

13. ....and drop copious amounts of cash on a single plane ticket.

14. Even though leaving them is traumatic to the soul every time,

15. You know it's all worth it when you finally see them again.

because no amount of distance could break you two apart.

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.
