No one understands you like your family.

Jessica Carnivale

Family is there for you through the thick and thin. If you are anything like me I wouldn't be where I am without them. I am so thankful for all of them and can gladly call them my family and best friends.

No one gets you quite like your family

Jessica Carnivale

Only the people you have grown up with and have lived with really understand you. Once you have lived with someone they know all about you. All of your quirks and things you don't even realize you do they see them and love you for it.

They know exactly what you need

Sometimes you might not even know what you need but there's a good chance your family knows.

They're not afraid to hurt your feelings

Typically your family doesn't use a filter around you. While it might be a little blunt it's what you need to hear. Your friends might be afraid to hurt your feelings, but your family can be real with you and know you'll still love them.

They've been there since the beginning

From vacation to everyday life they are always there.

Jessica Carnivale

This one is quite obvious but really they have been there for you since the beginning. Your family has watched you mature and grow into where you are today and they will continue to be there for you.

They are always looking out for your best interest

They know what is best for you and are going to do whatever they need to do to help you reach your full potential.

They know what is good for you

Sometimes we don't know what is good or bad for us but our families can see before we can. Odds are your mom can pick out your fake friends before you can. If your family doesn't like a significant other or friend there's probably a good reason why.

Odds are they're a lot like you

They help you reach your goals and motivate you.

Jessica Carnivale

Because families spend so much time together your interest are probably similar. It might be your favorite sport or favorite spot to shop or just about anything in between, there's a good chance your family members agree.

They know if there is something wrong

It's hard to hide your emotions from your family. You spend so much time together that they can tell when something is off or if there is something you don't want to share.

They don't judge you

Rather than passing judgment, your family tries to help you with your issues. Judging a family member is like judging yourself, it just doesn't make sense.

They love you unconditionally

The share similar interest and help you get to where you want to be.

Jessica Carnivale

Your family is a part of you and they love you no matter what. No strings attached they are always there for you and you will always be there for them.

Your family members are always looking for you. Believe it or not they usually know what is best for you before you do. So remember to thank them for what they do for you and look out for them too!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
