9 Reasons Why You NEED a Sidekick

When you run out of gas.

Personally, this has only happened to me once in my life. I’m quite responsible when it comes to filling up my tank, but if YOU do run out of gas, make sure you have a sidekick.

You run out of toilet paper...on the toilet.

Now this one, I’ve experienced on several occasions. Whether at home, or in a public stall, we have experienced the last sheet of toilet paper problem. So, if you’re in this predicament, it’s always good to have a sidekick bring you a new roll.

When you're hanging a big frame in your new apartment.

Sure, all of the independent people out there can do this on their own, but what if you drop your nail? Your sidekick will be there to hand you a nail before you drop the sizable frame on your big toe.

When you need your opinion on the debate validated.

"Wait. Hey Sidekick, did Trump just interrupt Hillary 5 billion times? Did he just talk about Rosie O’Donnell during the presidential debate? Ummm… Sidekick, why is Hillary smiling like that? She’s scaring you too, right?"

When you're too drunk.

We’ve all been here. We all have that one sidekick to look out for us when we get sloppy or vice versa. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our sidekicks for saving us on multiple occasions…….

When you need a wing-man.

You’re feeling lonely, or old and need a night out on the town. Well, you need a sidekick to help your nervous self when talking to a girl or a boy. Nobody can do this one alone—successfully. So, grab your sidekick and get out there!

When you need your first like on Instagram or Facebook, but it's not happening.

Okay, you know you don’t want to admit that this has happened, but let’s be real, it has. If you have a sidekick, you don’t have to worry because they will like your post if need be.

When you lock yourself out of the house.

Well, your sidekick should always have your spare key and since he/she is obviously always with you, you should never have to worry about this issue.

When you lose your debit card.

Always, always bring your sidekick to the bar. You never want to have to stiff the bartender and your sidekick is nice enough to pay the bill, trusting that you will pay him/her back!

Okay, so we’ve established that your sidekick is extremely important in your life. He/she is there to help you during the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, this is the most important thing to know before you decide to find your sidekick: Your sidekick is not your B**CH. You are there to be their sidekick in the same way that they are to you. It’s a two-sided relationship, so be prepared for responsibility!

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.
