Ever feel like you’re literally a mother? There’s always that one friend that can relate…

  1. Your “children” rely on you for everything
  • It doesn’t matter what it is. Your counted on for advice on boys, outfits and asked how to do laundry… Sometimes you don’t know the answers to the questions yourself, but hey, you fake it ‘til you make it...right?

2. Things that shouldn’t be your responsibility, ARE 100% YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

  • And let’s be honest, you love being in charge, but can’t anyone else dial a damn phone number to call the taxi or text that girl asking where the party is?

3.You are expected to know what to do in every situation

  • Get a weird text from a random guy? You’re on it. Need directions? Whip out that GPS. Sick? I got DayQuil, Tums and Advil, what’s the issue?

4. If one of your “children” can’t get to their phones, you are automatically in charge of keeping their snapchat streaks

  • I can’t tell you how often I get the text, “can you do my streaks for me?” And then making sure that you send it to EVERY person they have a streak with… Because every streak is precious.

5. You’re always the one to say stop drinking

  • Because you know if they don’t stop you’re going to be the one cleaning up after them later… Which also has become one of your least favorable jobs.

6. You can basically read your “children’s” minds

  • You know exactly what’s wrong before they even have to tell you and they know that you will do whatever you possibly can to make them feel better.

7. You are always prepared

  • You got extras of everything. Phone chargers, sweatshirts, food, you name it, I got it.

8. Your “children” get nervous when you don’t go out

  • They will say, “who will stay with me?” or “don’t leave me.” And after they guilt you into going out, you start to feel bad that you’re leaving them so... you go out.

9. Sometimes being a “mom” is stressful

  • You can only give your advice, you can’t expect your “children” to always follow it, and when they don’t, and get hurt, it hurts you too.

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.
