8 Ways To Be 'Boyfriend Goals'

Guys, would you like to know how to be the overall definition of the "boyfriend goals?" Think outside of the box for once, geez. Us girls, we really aren't that complex to figure out. Just read our minds. We know you've always wanted to be a psych major or you just have that inner power like all guys should. If you don't read minds (which we really hope you don't -- for your own sake), then I'm your girl. Here's the 411 on how to be perfect, without losing your man card.

1. The "Talking" Phase

Cut that crap out. Are you still in high school? Seriously, either date the girl you're with or cut the strings. Pretty simple. Nobody wants to waste their time to not be official.

2. First Date Convos

What does water do in a river? How does blood move through your veins? FLOW! Conversations are meant to flow on first dates. Topics should happen naturally without having those awkward "what do we talk about next" moments.

3. My Friends vs. Your Friends

A little give a little take. Spend time with my friends and I'll spend time with yours. Don't complain every time you get pushed out of your comfort zone.

4. All Eyes on Her

Give your girl some lovin'. Whether it be to post an Instagram pic, write a love note, hold her hand, or compliment her around your friends. We like that sh*t and we most definitely like to be shown off.

5. Master Chef

Don't be the stereotypical alpha male. Don't be afraid to throw on an apron and cook for your girl -- we don't always belong in the kitchen.

6. Take a Lesson From Bob The Builder

We all don't need a "Magic Mike" in our life, it's nice to have other things. Be the first phone call when your girlfriend gets a flat tire, fixes a broken door, or when she needs you to stop everything you're doing to kill a spider. We hate spiders. Or maybe a load of wash. (Although we would love some "Magic Mike" in our life/)

7. May the Force Be with You

Your girlfriend wants to be protected and that doesn't just mean by your size. Protect what's yours, even if it means getting into a bar fight. We want to feel safe even in the darkest alleys.

8. Take the Risk for the Fall

Competition is always fun, especially in relationships. Set up a challenge to do together. Plan a backpacking trip to test the limits of your relationship. Nothing beats shooing flies away, peeing in the woods, or taking a quick skinny dip in the lake in front of each other. See who whimps out first.

Take these tips to life and you shall receive the award of being "boyfriend goals."

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.
