We are often mistaken for being more than just friends.

5 Reasons You're The Girl Who Is 'One Of The Guys'

Ladies, we all know how cruel we can be to one another. Which is exactly why I naturally gravitated towards having more guy friends than girls. In high school, moreso than now, but most of that is because I go to an ALL FEMALE COLLEGE!

In high school, I didn't belong to a specific group after my middle school friends and I parted ways. That's when I became a "floater". In my opinion, I floated around to different groups because I could get along with people easily. Looking back now, I became friends with guys (usually them flirting with me or something along the lines of that) and became introduced to a whole new set of people. Throughout the years, my guy friend list built to a pretty decent size.

Either out of jealousy or misunderstanding, I was often ridiculed or called a slut for having more guy friends than girlfriends. I refused to believe that it was jealousy at the time because in my eyes, I was just like everyone else, but it just pushed me further into having more guy friends altogether.

Why is it that we choose to be friends with guys rather than girls?

1. They are less drama!

Can I get an Amen! Who needs more drama in their life? Definitely not me! Guys don't care about every little thing like girls do so it makes life a little more carefree with them around.

2. If you're lucky they act like your big brother.

When you become super close to these guys, they will feel protective over you whether they intend to or not. It's kind of funny to watch sometimes! They will also start to pick on you and rough house with you like one of the boys.

3. They do athletic/outdoorsy things with you.

They are down for all the crazy adventures that some girls may not be into. I for one, love going hiking and fishing, so I always had someone to take me when my dad couldn't.

4. They don't care what you look like.

You don't have to look nice when you're hanging out with the boys. Jeans and a t-shirt or comfy athletic clothes are stylish enough for them. You'll be lucky if they even brush their hair. They won't judge you.

5. You don't have to worry about not eating because they will make sure you do!

Guys are known for thier bottomless pit appetite, so don't worry, you will get food. Plus, you can chow down on that delicious cheeseburger or wings without a second thought of how your going to look eating it becuase they won't care how messy you get.

Don't take it personally ladies, we just click better with guys sometimes.

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.
