Are You The Mom Of Your Friend Group? ...... YES
Caitlynn Ledet

We’ve all got one in our friend group. Some groups have more than one, if they're very lucky. You possess qualities that can only be compared to that of a loving, middle-aged women – a.k.a your mom. You’ll find yourself worrying like a mother while doling out snacks, breath mints, and gum from your bottomless purse. If eight or more of these fit you, you are definitely the mom of your friend group!

1. Everyone goes to you for advice

No matter the situation you always know what to say and when to say it. From relationship advice to health advice, your friends know they can count on you for the best advice.

2. People trust you

As children, we grow up trusting and believing that our mom has our best decision at heart. You are a leader and have a charismatic personality. You always keep things to yourself, because you strongly hold privacy to yourself.

3. You're the go-to shoulder to cry on

After a long day, you are the person they know they can lean on. No matter the problem or situation, your friends know you will be there to wipe away their tears.

4. If your friend is sick, you're the one they call

When your friend is in need because they are feeling horrible, you are their go to girl. You know all the at home remedies and quick fixes. Most of all, you're the expert at making extreme hangovers go away!

5. "Be safe" is your go-to motto

Regardless if they are driving home, going on a date, or various other activities, you always suggest to be careful.

6. You always keep everyone in line

You're the friend that makes everyone get up and go to class, no matter what their excuse is. Studying is the only option your give them come "dead week" and finals week. When it comes to going out though, you always are the drink limiter. You keep them from making bad choices and possibly doing things they would regret.

7. After a night out, you make sure everyone made it home safely and is okay

We all know that friends check on each other after a crazy night out in downtown, but you make sure EVERYONE of your friends is okay! They are blessed to call you a best friend because they will make it home safe after wild nights!

8. They are required to text you when they make it home

No matter the occasion, it is a required part of the friendship to text you when you make it home. You will worry constantly till you know everyone is safe and sound.

9. You give the best pep talks

Everyone knows that you're the best at getting them ready for something nerve-racking. You always tell them.... "If this happens, do this..."

10. And you hate to say, "I told you so"

If they just didn’t listen and did it anyway, you give them a gentle reminder that they probably should heed your advice from now on. It’s for their own good.

You should be proud of yourself because you're a great friend. All your friends love you from the bottom of their heart because they know they can count on you! Always remember that being yourself is what your friends love about you, regardless if "telling it like it is," isn't want they want to hear right now. You are an appreciated, loving, and selfless person that your friends admire!

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.
