Complaining, jealousy and high expectations. These are all markers of a bad girlfriend, right? Wrong. If your girlfriend does these four "bad" things, then you may just have an amazing girlfriend.

She complains.

You know you’ve got a good girlfriend if she complains. There are two types of complaining: complaining to you or complaining about you. If your girlfriend complains to you, that’s great! It means she trusts you and talking to you about her problems makes her feel better. It means she’ll also be open to being your shoulder and listening to your problems, which is key in a good relationship. If your girlfriend is complaining about you, that can be good as well. Most people immediately think that having your significant other complain about you is negative, but it isn’t! If your girlfriend complains about you, it just means she knows that you can do better and she’s pushing you to be your absolute best. Her complaining, in either situation, is good for you and your relationship in the long run.

She makes you get off your phone, Xbox, Playstation, etc.

If your girlfriend gets upset and makes you stop playing on your phone or gaming device, then you’ve got a great girlfriend. This can mean several things. One possibility is simply that she misses you and wants your attention to be on her, which makes her a great partner. She may also make you get off of your devices if you have something more important to do. In this situation, she’s simply looking out for you and your best interest, which is also another marker of a good girlfriend.

She expects too much.

If your significant other expects too much, it’s probably just because she’s a good girlfriend. It just means that she knows that you can do better. This can seem very negative, but it’s actually a compliment. If your girlfriend thought you were as good as you were ever going to be, she wouldn’t expect more. But she does, which means she’s helping you grow and better yourself. She sees potential in you that you don’t see in yourself, which is most definitely a sign of a good girlfriend.

She gets super jealous.

Jealousy tends to carry a negative connotation, but it’s actually very endearing. Your girlfriend thinks you’re amazing and really cares about you. She sees all of your amazing attributes and probably thinks it would be easy for other girls to fall for you, too. But since she cares about you, she doesn’t want to loose you. If you’ve got a jealous girlfriend, then you’ve got a great girlfriend that cares about you and your relationship. If your girlfriend wasn’t jealous and didn’t care about losing you to someone else, then you’d have something to worry about. A lack of jealousy can actually be a marker of a bad girlfriend.

If your girlfriend does these four things, then you probably have an amazing "bad" girlfriend.

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.
