5 Things You Probably Haven't Thanked Your BFF For
Grace Kim

Let's face it, without our best friends, we would be horribly lost in life. Utterly dead inside. Without friends, life isn't worth living, and that's the honest truth. We're so close to the point where a "sorry" is not necessary when you "accidentally" push them. A needed "thank you" is forgotten every once in a while. These are five things you should probably thank your best friend for - IMMEDIATELY!

1. Their bluntness (a.k.a. the truth).

This, right here, is so important. Yes, it stings a little when they say your favorite top is actually not that cute and even makes you look fat. But, how much better is it that your best friend said it to you rather than a guy, or even a stranger? Honestly, I've even gotten "you are so ugly" a couple of times, but bless them because the days I actually look good is equal to countless compliments.

2. Their willingness to change sexuality for a night.

Have you ever thanked your friend for pretending to be lesbian, saving you from the very creepy boy(s) at a party? Not once, not twice, but multiple times? I don't think so. It's time to thank them.

3. Their photography skills.

Literally, 10/10 of my pictures on Instagram were taken by my best friends. I'm not sure how it happens, but somehow they become better photographers than professionals, and your pictures turn out AMAZING. To say it bluntly, you would not be getting all those DM's without your best friend.

4. Their stupidity.

This one. I need to thank my best friend, right now. Without her, I would be laugh-less and would not understand what stupid is. Don't get me wrong, she's an intelligent, strong, and independent woman ... who has her moments. Have you ever been asked whether Philadelphia was a state or city? What about watching her have a eureka moment on how pickles are just cucumbers? Of course, she isn't the only stupid one; we influence each other to become the better stupid.

5. Their existence.

Without them, you would be nothing. Admit it! Who else can you see 24/7 without going crazy? Who would you rant to about how underrated white chocolate is? Who would protect you from all the wrong guys and lead you towards the right guys? No one. So go, take a cheesy moment, and thank your friend for existing.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
