5 Ways To Know If You Are the "Crazy" Family
Jodi Cannon

Okay, I’ll admit it. I am apart of a “crazy” family. Not only am I apart of a “crazy” family, but I am a contributing factor. We’re loud, laugh when we’re not suppose to, and make a lot of crude jokes but I love my family more than anything. Here are some signs that you are the “crazy” family too:

1. Your Friends Laugh From the Moment They Walk In Your House Until the Moment They Leave

Those of us who are apart of a crazy family know this all too well. Your friends always suggest to hangout at your house simply because they get a kick out of your family. They aren’t accustomed to the constant yelling, petty fights, and ridiculous jokes that you play on your family. So, joining in is always a treat. Everyone always wants to go to the person’s house with the crazy family because that’s where all the fun happens, right?

2. You Are The Least Favorite Neighbors On The Street

Let’s face it, there is always a downfall to every good thing. If you are the crazy family on the street chances are your neighbors probably hate you. The loud family fights, the fun parties, or the wild conversations you have on the front porch probably piss them off to no end. The way I look at it is that you cannot please everyone!

3. Everyone Is Always Telling You How Loud You Are

If your family is crazy, you are automatically the loud friend. Everyone is always trying to tell you to “shh” or letting you know you are always the loudest one in the group. But obviously you can’t help it! Speaking loudly is the only way you are going to be heard in your nut house.

4. Playing Jokes On Your Family Is A Part of Everyday Life


Whether it’s popping out at mom or dad around the corner, or purposely hiding something of your siblings just to see their reaction: practical jokes are an often occurrence. Your family gets a kick out of joshing with another family member. It’s always fun playing the joke but it is never fun being the one on the receiving end. Being the one at the butt of the joke always calls for revenge. You could say there is a never-ending cycle of fun and hysterical laughing.

5. You Love Like Crazy


One of the main benefits of being the crazy family is being able to love like crazy. Having passionate emotions and the ability to love like a crazy person is the best part. Although sometimes it can be extra embarrassing, being apart of the crazy family might be the most rewarding thing ever. We laugh louder and love harder. Our fun-loving nature is the key ingredient in living happy and positive lives. I could not ask for a better (or crazier) family!

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.
