How You Know When Your Friends Are Family

There is a distinct difference between friends and best friends, but after a while best friends turn into more. Once you have been through hell and back, or just survived the torrent of high school drama together, you're more than best friends. Here are a few signs that your best friends are actually your siblings.

You walk into their houses instead of knocking

You know the code to their garage

They always defend you even when you're wrong

But they won't let you forget that you were wrong

You not only borrow their clothes, but also their mom's

Or their dad posts pictures of you on facebook with the caption "my daughters"

They drive insane distances for you, like visiting your college

Sharing the same bed is a given

Cuddling is also never unexpected

You have more bad pictures of them than good ones

You absolutely berate each other on social media, in person, and through text

They know how to make you laugh in seconds

And know when to let you cry and when to tell you to stop moping

Your conversations are filled with memes and facebook links

Their food is your food to nibble on

When you're over their house you don't feel weird asking for food

You probably just grab a snack from the cabinets without asking too

You. Share. EVERYTHING. Lipstick, clothes, shoes, phone chargers, jewelry.

Your favorite nights are ones filled with heaps of Chinese food and awful Netflix flicks.

Of course you also watch the same shows together

They'll let you know when you look awful, and know exactly what you should change into

A majority of the stories you tell have them in it

The "are you looking cute or dead?" text is answered with dead 90% of the time thankfully

They go completely out of their way to help and support you whenever they can

They're your #1 fan through it all

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.
