7 Things Best Friends Know to be True

1. You hold each other to a certain standard.

You expect the same things out of each other. That means being a good friend, how you decide to treat others, and being loyal. Double standards do not exist in your friendship, it is an all-or-nothing kind of deal.

2. You are bluntly honest with each other.

If one of you is being unbelievably naive or immature, you can bet your biscuit your best friend is going to call you out on it. A best friend is not going to let you chase down something that will inevitably hurt you down the road. Plus if there is something in your teeth you can trust they won't let you walk around talking to people like that.

3. You support each other, no matter what.

It does not matter what you did, your best friend will not only love you but they will help you figure out a remedy. Perhaps you're going to go do something dumb-- your best friend is by your side ready to go down with you. Who knows, they may even end up in the shoe with you.

4. They are your favorite source of entertainment

From their obnoxious singing, to their daily shift driving the struggle bus-- there is no one who you enjoy spending time with more. When you're together you laugh until you cry and then you laugh even more because you're crying. It's a truly vicious cycle.

5. They're your go-to person

Need someone to get fast food with you at 1a.m.? No one is more down. While they may complain, they will always go do your errands with you as you will with them. As long as you're together, you couldn't be happier.

6. Time/ Distance apart doesn't mean jack

So you haven't seen each other since who knows when, it has zero affect on your friendship. Oceans apart or a mile away, you will always pick up right where you left off.

7. There is nothing you wouldn't do for each other

Seriously you two have no limits. Dealing with your (mildly insane) family? Check. Take care of you when you don't feel so hot? Check. Go to jail with you? Hopefully not, but still, check!

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.
