5 Different Types of Friends You For Sure, 100 Percent, Have In Your Squad

Ever needed a friend for a certain situation? Have you been considered the "mom" or "adventurous" friend? Need some clarification on what those types of friends are? Well, I'm going to provide 5 types of friends you probably have had in your life.

1. The childhood friend.

Do you remember that friend you met when you were a young kid? You may have meet them at the park, elementary school, or neighborhood. The point is the moment you guys met, you got along well with each other and the rest was history. You guys grew up together where you would go to each other's houses and met the family. They accepted you as their own child and took care of you each step of the way. Essentially, their house was your house. You celebrated birthdays together and went through the awkward moments of puberty together. From your first crushes, fights, and adventures you have made it through it all. Now that you are adults and may have separate lives, distance doesn't matter. You guys are able to reconnect and act like good old pals since day 1.

2. The school friend.

Ever had that friend growing up, where you didn't talk about any personal business, but JUST SCHOOL?! Well, this is your school friend. You probably had the same teachers with almost the same exact class schedule. You would vent to them about how you worried you are about exams and projects. You did study groups with each other and tried the best of your abilities to pass that class and get the grade you want. Additionally, if you have the same goals or career pathway, you vent to them about graduate school, medical school, law school, dental school, etc. These friends are also real-life savers where they helped you with your homework and helped you passed your test you were stressing about. In this type of friendship, you struggle together academically and try to succeed to the top.

3. The mom friend.

Ever felt like crap and things aren't going well in your personal life? You have suffered a break-up, family drama, or lacking motivation? Well, there is always that one friend who has the heart and personality of a loving mother. You call them crying on the phone or go to them personally for all of the problems or insecurities you may have. They are with you each step of the way and are soothing, calm, a great listener, and non-judgemental. They give that warmth whether it be their hugs, words of wisdom, or making your favorite meal, THEY GOT YOU! They are like your therapist and you feel comfortable sharing what you have been keeping bottled up inside. Additionally, if you had one of those wild nights where you got completely trashed, they are to make sure you don't do any bad decisions.

4. The wild friend.

Ever made a decision that you know you weren't supposed to do because it's not smart yet you do it anyway?! Ever called a friend saying to do something crazy or out of your element? You want to live that crazy daredevil life but need that support from a friend to push you out of your comfort zone? Well, there's always that friend down to do road trips, go to the club with you, skinny dip, etc. We all have that crazy friend that we love and likes to live life to the fullest.

5. The stay at home friend.

Want to avoid the social world in the outdoors? Would you much rather go over to your friend's house and sleep all day taking naps? Do you prefer to order takeout or cook together while watching one of your favorite all-time movies together? You would be wearing matching PJ's or in comfortable clothing, chilling in the indoors. Being introverted enjoying each other's company.

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.
