5 Reasons Why Your Aunt Is Your First Best Friend
Alyssa Humphrey

"Only an aunt can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend."

1. She Has Been There From The Beginning

Ever since I can remember, my aunt has been by my side. When I look back on all of my major milestones, she has been apart of them. She always makes our successes hers as well and it makes me feel good, knowing that she will always be one of my biggest fans.

2. She Understands Me

I can honestly say that my aunt is the one that I can go to for anything. No matter what it is, I have no problem opening up to her. We have this trusting relationship, where I can open up about any issue without her judging me. I want to thank her for being that extra ear to listen to all my problems.

3. I Am Always Laughing With Her

A lot of people will never get our inside jokes or our personalities, but no matter what she always puts me in a good mood. For example, you can always pick her out of a crowd, whether that is sporting events or even a concert. She has a loud mouth and doesn't mind getting kicked out from time to time. No matter what, you will laugh once or twice while with her.

4. We Always Have Our Girl Time

Once or twice a month I can always look forward to going out to eat or getting our nails done and venting about whatever is going on at the time. It is a nice break from reality, where I can gossip and vent.

5. Most of all, She Is Like My Best Friend

Through it all, my aunt has given me guidance, discipline and most of all laughter. We have such a diverse relationship and this is why the above quote reigns true. She is not only my aunt, but my second mother, sister, and friend.

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.
