It isn't as fun when you're not the one getting all the love.

10 Things That Happen When Your BFF Gets a Boyfriend

1. You are forced to be nice to other people in attempt to make friends.

Once your BFF is busy doing her thing with the new bae, you begin to realize how much time you actually spent with them, and now you have all this time to do cool things, but no one to do them with.

2. Every movie night is ruined.

Remember all of those awesome movie trailers you watched with your BFF, and planned on seeing the moment they came out in theaters? Well, you can't anymore because she has already seen all of them, with him.

3. You have to keep it 'PG'.

Your conversations can no longer consist of inappropriate jokes or awkward, embarrassing moments, because he reads them all. Your BFF was also the one you would creep on guys with while walking to class, or driving down the street. There are no longer any "OMG did you see how hot he was?" conversations, because she will not answer honestly.

4. "Third-wheel" becomes your middle name.

When you finally do get to hang out with your BFF, she is with him 99% of the time anyway. It almost makes you want to be in a relationship just so you can go on double-dates with them to see your BFF more.

5. You actually start to like her BF.

When she starts dating someone you actually like, you make sure to remind her to never break up with him because then who are you going to make fun of your BFF with?

6. You hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.

You are obviously the first person (other than her new bae) that she tells things to when she is excited or pissed off. Most of the time, everything she wants to talk about has something to do with him. You start to feel like a marriage counselor because you know all of their drama and are expected to give good advice in order to fix things.

7. You can no longer have sleepovers.

We have all had those nights where you just had a crazy weekend or are having a super emotional week and all you want to do is sleep over at your BFF's because sleepovers are like the magical answer to everything. But you can't do that anymore because he will be there. Every night.

8. Boy advice is so much better.

When you need advice on the new guy you are seeing, your BFF suddenly becomes way more helpful because she has been in almost every situation with her boyfriend. You also get advice from a guy's perspective because he is always around to listen.

9. You are bored all the time.

Your BFF used to be your go-to friend to text when you were bored and had nothing to say, but needed some form of human interaction. Since your friend is busy all the time, she no longer texts back, and you are left alone, hopelessly contemplating if you should watch 'one more' episode on Netflix, eat more chips and salsa, or just go to sleep 7 hours early.

10. You stop being so negative.

When you were both single, you would be sitting on the couch, sharing a pint of ice cream and crying with your BFF that all guys were idiots, and that you would both be 'forever alone'. But now, after seeing your friend so happy, you start to realize not all guys are terrible, and now you're the only one who will be 'forever alone'.

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.
