The 7 Types Of Friends In Every Friend Group

Though roles in a friend group can be blurred, there are some friends you come across in every group.

1. The Mom Friend

We all know this friend — they're the first one you run to when you have a problem, the first one you run to for medicine, the one that will fight anyone and everyone on your behalf, and the one with the best advice for any situation.

2. The Loud Friend

This friend more than likely has that unique, loud laugh that can be heard from across campus. They also forget that indoor voices are a thing, and you probably have to remind them constantly to turn the volume down on their voice box. And they can't whisper. At all. But do you need someone yelled at, or do you need to ask your near-deaf professor a question? Have no fear — the loud friend is here.

3. The Quiet Friend

You'll usually find this friend on the edge of the crowd, inserting comments every now and then, but otherwise just observing. They're wallflowers, in a way. (Hah, get it? Because of the .gif? I know, I'm funny.)

4. The Animal-Loving Friend

This friend has an animal radar. They can immediately tell when an animal is near, and will run through, jump over, knock down, or otherwise bowl over anything or anyone that stands in the way of them getting to said animal.

5. The Extroverted Friend

Is the friend group bored? Turn to this friend, because they'll always have some spontaneous idea up their sleeve! Want that guy's number, but you're too afraid to ask? Don't worry, you've got the most outgoing wingwoman/man in the world by your side!

6. The Sporty Friend

Not only does this friend own the most extensive collection of running shorts, spandex, tank tops, tennis shoes, and other sports paraphernalia, this friend also has the natural ability to literally be good at any sport ever.

7. The Smart Friend

This friend is the walking encyclopedia of the group. You can always count on them to make the good grades, to be the source of knowledge, and to always be up for answering your questions. This friend is also either very humble or very arrogant about their intelligence. There is no in between.

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.
