Why You Should Date the Southern Mess

Life with her makes perfect sense because she's your best friend.

Why You Should Date the Southern Mess
Sierra Chapman

1. She can hang with the boys.

There's nothing like having your girl around -- I totally get that, especially when you're crazy about her. However, having her around the guys at times can be a little discomforting to your "crew. " She's the kind that your friends don't mind having around because when she opens her mouth, she doesn't sound like another female. Not everything is "yucky," and you can catch her saying, "Hey boys watch this."

2. She's the best fishing partner.

Ain't nothing better than sitting on a river with a cold one in one hand and seeing your girl with a zebco in hers. She ain't around to bait her own hook. Heaven forbid you take the fish off the hook for her because you can bet she can do that herself.

3. She's always down for whatever.

She's the wild ride. She's sliding on in, shotgun ready to see where the road takes her. She's always ready to get into whatever you are, and she wouldn't trade a night of riding and singing along to every country song for a night downtown with her girlfriends.

4. She's your right-hand man.

She's the kind that you can find elbow deep in an ole' box Chevy discussing how you need a 7/16ths wrench instead of a 3/8ths. She's there cheering on the SEC with you every Saturday in the South!

5. With her there is less drama

She isn't worried about what this person and that person are doing on social media. Partly because she is more worried about what fish is nibbling at the end of her hook. At the end of the day, she's only worried about what makes her happy and what makes you happy. Life just seems to be simpler with a Southern girl at your side.

6. Your momma really loves her

She has that Southern Hospitality that hardly exists nowadays. She's respectful in all the right ways. She cares about you and what truly happens to your future or the future that possibly includes her in it. She's the kind you bring home to mamma, and next thing you know, she and your mamma are in the kitchen cooking fried chicken with a pan of fresh corn bread in the oven. She respects the woman who raised you and isn't afraid to love her just the same.

7. She knows how to treat you

She can bring out your wilder side, but she also knows how to love you. She knows that you need all the love and support you can get after a long day. She is always there to vent to, and you know she will never be biased about anything. She will always give her honest opinion even when you are being a dumb ole' donkey. She can sass you around long enough to make you see she is only wanting the best for you.

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.
