Boomer Phelps Just Understands

Michael Phelps has 28 Olympic medals, 23 of which are gold. And now, a new (smaller) Phelps has joined in on the swimmer's spotlight, his three-month-old son, Boomer. Boomer Phelps has been on the world's radar not just because he's the son of the most decorated Olympian of all time, but also because he's downright adorable in his soundproof headphones, patriotic pants, and chubby cheeks. Boomer is a golden baby and has been front and center during these 2016 Olympic games in Rio to watch his "Superman" dad dominate the playing field his fifth time around.

Phelps finished off his record-breaking swimming career with a gold medal in the 4 x 100 medley on Saturday, August 13, and his fiancée Nicole, mom, and baby boy were in the stands for this historic last race. Although Boomer may not know much about Olympic glory just yet, he's become quite the famous fellow himself. His face, that has been circulating the internet and stealing our hearts, says it all. And he may just understand each and every one of us—take a look:

When you can’t come to terms with what you've just eaten and start questioning every life choice you've ever made:

When you get home from a long day and your bed feels like Heaven:

When you're feelin' yourself and don't care who knows it:


When the person you're with won't stop taking selfies:

When you just got away with something super sneaky:

When you're tired but still want to hold bae's hand:

When you remember that really important thing you were supposed to do but didn't do and it might come back to bite you in the butt:


When you realize you match the carpet:


When your song comes on and you're loving life and no one can bring you down:

When your friends force you out of the house and you're nothing but a big ball of resentment:

When you wake up from that "5-minute nap" that lasted too long and you've never felt more lost:

When you're just happy to be alive (those pants though):

When you realize you have grade-A genes:

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.
