27 Signs You're A Member Of Your Best Friend's Family

Best friends are, well, the best. However, there is one qualification that separates the best friends from the best friends forever, and that is their family. Once you are an honorary member of the family, that friend just can't get rid of you anymore. You're blood now.

Here are 27 signs you are crazy close with your friend's family:

1. You know each member of the family very well, including aunts, uncles and cousins.

2. You have had a siblings fight with the brother and/or sister of the friend.

3. You are often present at family dinners.

4. You've probably seen them on holidays, too.

5. Before you could drive, you relied heavily on the friend's mom to pick you up for the movies or whatever event, and you are eternally grateful for her services.

6. You walk into the house without knocking.

7. Sometimes you arrive and the parent says, "I didn't know you were coming over," but they weren't mad about it, and should probably be used to it by now.

8. You've talked to your friend's mom about your drama, and the conversation typically lasted hours.

9. You're on a first-name basis with the parents.

10. You've attended family vacations because, well, you're family.

11. You probably spent more weekends at their house than your own.

12. You have a toothbrush in their bathroom.

13. Your parents and your friend's parents gossip about you.

14. Your friend's mom usually knows more about your life than you do, based on what your mom talked to her about.

15. They will yell at you if you're being out of line and it's not weird at all.

16. They are as upset about you leaving for college as your real family.

17. You've hung out with the parents without your friend being there multiple times.

18. You know where everything in the kitchen is.

19. You have inside jokes with your friend's family.

20. Your friend's parents know embarrassing stories about you and aren't afraid to bring them up for a good laugh.

21. You text your friend's mom.

22. You've received birthday and holiday gifts from them.

23. You've treated the siblings like your own.

24. You've driven the younger siblings around, helped them with homework, and fed them.

25. You really are a member of the family, through thick and thin.

26. You can't imagine growing up without an extra set of family members.

27. You wouldn't have it any other way.

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.

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.
