Six Signs You Are The Irresponsible Friend

There are some friends who are type A and have everything organized, there are some who manage well enough, and then there are those who are a hurricane. Here are six signs that you may be the irresponsible storm out of your friends.

1. You lose everything, and I mean everything.

Sometimes it’s your car keys, oftentimes it’s your ID, and always it’s your phone. Actually, if we’re being realistic, you lose books, sweaters, and your dignity as well. Things are left at restaurants, in ubers, or are found months later underneath your bed

2. There is always a rescue mission involved.

Whether it’s yourself that needs the rescuing or your lost phone, your friends are now use to playing the part of a rescue team. What do you mean your phone is in another town? Why are you still stranded there? If you’ve heard these questions before, then you are more than likely the irresponsible friend.

3. People actually LOL when someone suggests that you be in charge of something.

It’s not that you aren’t capable of planning an event or heading a group of people, but oftentimes you find yourself saying “we’ll just wing it” on things that most definitely should not be winged.

4. The thought of 'adulting' terrifies you.

To you, anxiety and the real world are synonymous words.

5. Times, dates, deadlines--they're all irrelevant to you.

It’s an accomplishment if you show up only ten minutes late to an event, considering that you’re probably late to everything. That dinner you thought you had on Wednesday? Yeah, it was actually scheduled for Tuesday, but close. And while others stress about deadlines, you’ll occasionally consider turning things in on time.

6. You literally go missing.

Some nights, you just do your own thing, but people have no idea where you are for 10+ hours. This means you often find yourself waking up to texts from concerned friends asking of your whereabouts and the status of your health.

Being the irresponsible friends does not mean you are lacking. You are equally dependable and kind. It just means you have a relaxed view on structures and order, and at least you keep life entertaining.

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.
