Mom always knows best.

Life As "The Mom" Of Your Friend Group

Almost every friend group has a girl who is considered the "mom." She is the one who is always prepared in times of need and who is worried about the group. I, myself, am the mom of my friend group. I didn't choose to be, the label just came naturally. This is for all of the other friend moms.

1. Your bag puts Mary Poppins' to shame. You have everything from snacks and chapstick to bandaids and cough drops.



2. You love giving hugs, no matter what the occasion is.


3. "How are you?" "Are you well?" "Do you need anything?" These are common questions that come out of your mouth.


4. You're always cheering on your friends during their biggest life events.


5. You are the one taking photos to document the night.


6. "Be safe," is a common phrase in your vocabulary.


7. You have no shame about staying in on a Friday night to drink coffee and catch up on TV series.


8. People always come to you for advice and you are willing to give it, even if it's 2:00 in the morning.


9. It has gotten to the point where people refer to you as "mom."


10. You complain about being the mom at times, but, for the most part, you secretly love it. After all, mom does know best.


So, here's to all of the moms of friend groups. We love you and we know that we couldn't live without 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.
