38 Things You Should Probably Thank Your Boyfriend For

Let's face it, some of us can be hard to love sometimes. As females, it's in our nature to be overdramatic sometimes and cry over nothing that seems like everything at the time. Sometimes I overreact so much for so little, that I don't understand why my boyfriend would voluntarily love me unconditionally and choose to put up with me. So this one goes out to all the boyfriends who go without recognition for putting up with all the incredibly frustrating things that girls do.

Here're 38 things you should thank your boyfriend for more often.

1. Taking you out on dates.

2. Paying for those dates, no matter how expensive.

3. Letting you choose the location of the date, even if he’s tired of having Olive Garden every time.

4. Gossiping with you about the girl you hate at work, even though he has no idea who she is.

5. Cheering you up when your world is “falling apart.”

6. Telling you that you’re the most gorgeous girl he’s ever laid eyes on, even though you haven’t showered or worn makeup in three days.

7. Wanting to show you off to the world, even rocking a messy bun, leggings and an over-sized tee.

8. For not panicking or getting mad when you disappear in Target for two hours when you said you only needed tampons.

9. And then ordering you your favorite drink from Starbucks.

10. For accompanying you to the mall and struggling to give you an acceptable opinion on everything you try on. (Even though he’s saying you look pretty in everything so you guys can leave.)

11. For putting up when you cry over anything. Blair and Chuck break up again? Cry. When he surprises you with coffee and donuts? Cry.

12. For complying with your constant need for attention.

13. For not losing his cool when he asks you what you want for dinner and you say "I don’t care" but shoot down all his suggestions.

14. For putting up with your constant indecisiveness.

15. Listening to Justin Bieber on replay all day every day.

16. Dealing with your drama queen tendencies.

17. Playing with your hair.

18. Speaking of hair, finding your hair all over everything he owns. (And I mean everything.)

19. For being your knight in shining armor and always killing the spider.

20. For letting you hog the entire blanket.

21. Watching "Harry Potter" marathons every weekend.

22. For not thinking you’re gross when you haven’t shaved for two weeks.

23. Or for not saying anything about your Chewbacca legs.

24. For disagreeing with you when you say some girl is prettier than you.

25. For being a cuddle maniac.

26. Watching the Netflix series you want to watch ("Gossip Girl," of course), even though he’d rather watch "Always Sunny In Philadelphia."

27. Waiting to start a new episode even though you already watched several without him.

28. For suffering through taking a gazillion pictures just to find the perfect “Insta-pic.”

29. For understanding when you change outfits 20 times, and then put the original outfit back on.

30. For loving pizza as much as you.

31. For buying you endless pizza.

32. For taking care of you when you had one too many glasses of wine.

33. For getting along with and enjoying your family.

34. For letting you know when you probably need to calm down.

35. For apologizing, even when it wasn’t his fault.

36. For making you feel perfect when you know you aren’t.

37. For loving you so well, even when you don't deserve it.

38. For making you wonder how you lived your entire life without him.

No matter how much we complain, we actually do appreciate all the things you do for us and put up with.

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.
