4 Things To Look For In A True Friend
Bess Stone

How do you find the friends that will be there for you through it all? How do you know when someone is honest and true blue? When you're hungover on a Saturday morning and do not want to move from your bed, will they be right there with you? Top four things to look for in a friend are:

1. Trust:

Have they kept your secrets? Have they tried to slash your ex's tires? Will they tell you if you're being a bitch or your outfit is ugly? As ridiculous as it sounds, these questions are necessary in the process of finding your true friends forever. A girl needs her best friends to get through the obstacles life throws at her. These are so important to keep an eye out for.

2. Motivation:

Are the people you surround yourself with motivated? Do they motivate you to be the best version of yourself? Are they optimistic? When you can't see the good in yourself, do they point it out for you?

3. Happiness:

Find someone you can crack up with at any hour of the day about anything in the world. Find someone who makes you happy and excited! Find a friend that you can sit on the couch with for an entire day and not say a word to, but still feel like you're spending time with them.

4. Appetite:

Last but not least, make sure you can eat with them. I know everyone eats but make sure you can pig out like food is about to go extinct tomorrow with them. Super important- probably the most important factor!

I have gone through a lot of friends in my 21 years. They come and go and come back and leave again, but the best ones stick with you through it all.

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.
