B.F.T.A.B.

Best friend that's a boy.

125
B.F.T.A.B.

Every girl out there has an Alex Karev to her Meredith Grey or a Carter to her Sam from "Another Cinderella Story." A guy in her life that she's not attracted to in any way. Who she treats like her brother in every sense of the word. A guy that you don’t care if he sees you without make=up on or your hair in a slicked back ponytail. Every girl has a best friend that's a boy. There are many perks of having one of these.

1. They let you vent even if they're not listening. Which is okay because sometimes you just have to get it out.

2. Sometimes you just want to watch soccer and not talk so you go to their house and they are MORE than happy.

3. If a boy hurts you they always offer to beat them up even if they know good and well the boy is 3 times their size.

4. If you text them "SOS HELP," they immediately respond with are you okay? But in reality something major just happened on "One Tree Hill."

5. You always have a "boyfriend," if a creepy guy at the bar comes and talks to you and a date to those awkward family weddings.

6. If you don't have a husband by at least 32, don't worry, just marry him.

7. They'll always be there to give you advice and you'll do the same for him. Even if he asks you about the girl that you're not too fond of.. You just have to keep telling yourself "if he's happy, you're happy for him."

I'm glad to have a best friend that’s a boy to call my own. He gives me the opportunity to boss a boy around without having a brother or boyfriend. He also allows me to be a stylist even though he wears the same sorority formal t-shirts and Columbia navy shorts, I try to help his wardrobe. Even though he drives me up the wall sometimes with all his questions and he’s a meatball, I still love him.

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.
