Growing up, I always got along better with boys than I ever did with girls. I'm not sure why but it wasn't until my senior year of high school that I started to make more "girlfriends" than I did guy friends. Before having more girlfriends than I do guy friends, I met one of my very best friends still to this day. Having a guy BFF has its perks and downfalls but in the end, you always know they'll have your back and you're forever thankful for their friendship.

1. They'll listen to you complain about other girls and won't take sides because truthfully they could care less.

2. You can let your inner dude out around them and they won't think you're gross (well maybe a little gross).

3. They give the best advice when it comes to guys because they know how guys work and can help you pick the right ones.

4. They won't try to hook up with you because you're like a sister to them.

5. They are great listeners.

6. He's not afraid to put you in your place.

7. You learn so much about male species from them.

8. They act like your guy translators when you get a weird text from your crush.

9. They give you the most straightforward romantic advice than any of your girlfriends could give.

10. If you need a date to anything they're always there.

11. They don't care if you haven't showered or brushed your hair that day.

12. They're always down to take pictures with you... or of you.

13. He's your wingman when you need him to be or vice versa.

14. Your family has basically adopted him and made him their own.


15. You can ACTUALLY just Netflix and chill with them without things getting weird.

16. They have seen you at your best and worst and still love you at the end of the day.

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.
