5 Reasons Why Mother Knows Best

We've all got one, the woman who's known you longer than anyone else. It's almost as if the two of you were separated at birth! She's always got your back because no one messes with her babies, and her love is unconditional. Moms always have a way of being right. No matter the situation, there are a few reasons why mother knows best.

1. She's known you longer than anyone else.

She's the one who was there through the good of your first words, and graduating high school. But she was also there changing your dirty diapers, and supporting you when you ignored her advice and did exactly what she told you not to. In her eyes no one knows you better and we've all gotten the "There's nothing on you I haven't seen before" line.

2. Every piece of advice she gives you is gold.

Sure, at the time it might come off as annoying. She's just worrying too much because she's a mom right? Wrong! As you get older you'll start to realize just how much your mom taught you. Every day I have to stop and say to myself "Wow, Mom was right!"

3. They always do their best to make you happy.

Nothing can replace the priceless moments like when you have friends over and your mom tries to hang out to be "hip with the kids." As cringy as it can be, there's a certain charm about your mom trying her best to be your friend and I wouldn't have it any other way.

4. There's no beating mom's home cooked meals.

Even if your mom's not the best cook in the world. There's nothing like sitting down at the dinner table and enjoying a nice meal cooked with love. They might not be the best tacos in the world, but no one makes them like mom.

5. There are just some things that only moms can do.

When it turns out that your friends might not have been who you thought they were, or when college doesn't end up being right for you. You can always go back to her and she'll be waiting with open arms. Whether you need a friend to share secrets and have fun with, or someone who's going to police your habits so you don't get too out of hand. Moms can do both and so much more. It's not in the job description, and they're not paid for it, but they do it anyway out of love.

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.
