7 Problems of Being the Monica of the Group

Every one of your friends fits one of the "Friends" cast molds. You know right away who is who, but us Monica's gotta stick together. Solidarity, sister!! Amirite?

1) People never acknowledge that you're always right

You honestly give the best advice out of your friend group, and when they don’t follow it, you can’t be blamed for the outcome of the situation. If they would simply follow your advice, their lives would be much less complicated.


2) Making the best of the situations they get you into

You have invariably gotten into some interesting situations, some of them your own doing, others… not so much.

3) Being an amateur psychologist

You are definitely the one that everyone come to for advice. This puts you in the position of having to figure out everyone else’s problems even when you can’t really figure your own out sometimes. Everything from decoding text messages to deciphering their subconscious motives falls under your job description.

4) Putting them before yourself

You tend to put others needs in front of your own if it will make them happy, especially any of those in your close-knit friend group. You give them what they need, even if it comes at your expense.

5) Planning everything

Trying to get all of your friends together for anything more than a casual hangout takes weeks of planning down to the minute. Even then, you have to wrangle them and check in to make sure that everything is going according to plan. This may include having to dress someone in order for them to get ready in time.

6) Keeping track of all kinds of information

When someone needs information about one of your friends, whether it’s a Christmas gift from their significant other, their work times for scheduling their hair appointment, or details on their new boo for their parents, you are the go-to person.

7) Being the emergency contact on EVERYTHING

If something goes wrong, you are the person that gets called. Whether it’s having to get out of a bad date or needing a ride to the doctor, your phone lights up.

Let's face it, they'd be lost without you. Bt at the end of the day, everyone friend group needs a Monica, and you're glad that it's you.

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.
