Every group has the friend that takes care of the rest. If these sound familiar, you’re that friend.

1. You constantly feed your friends regardless of their hunger levels.

Oh, you’re not hungry? I don’t care; I made an entire pot of Kraft mac and cheese just for you. You feel the internal need to stuff your friends full with snacks and drinks.

2. You’re always reminding them about things they forget.

Do you have your keys? Don’t forget you have an appointment tomorrow! You’re not leaving without your jacket, its freezing! Whatever they’re forgetting, you’re the one to be on their case about it. Who needs a planner when you have a “mom” friend?

3. Their accomplishments feel like your accomplishments.

You feel nothing but pride every time they achieve and maybe even feel personally responsible for helping them get there. A win for them is a win for you.

4. You’re the tour guide and concierge everywhere you go.

In unknown territory, you’re usually the leader of the pack. You always have carefully researched where the hotspots are and have practically memorized the Google map of the area. Every adventure is planned down to the minute when you’re around.

5. You have a “Mary Poppins” purse.

Chapstick? Hair tie? Snack? Got it. Whatever your friends need, its bound to be somewhere in your bag. You could survive a significant amount of time during an apocalypse solely off the contents of your bag.

6. You’re best friends with their actual moms.

Well, it makes sense. Why wouldn’t their mothers adore the person making their lives easier? When your friends ask their parents for permission, name-dropping you results in an automatic “yes.”

7. You’re there for them when they’ve had one too many drinks.

Whether its holding their hair back or confiscating their phone, your friends can always depend on you to keep them out of trouble when they’ve had a bit too much to drink. And you’re always there with water and Advil the morning after.

8. You’re always the first to go to bed.

A mom’s got a tough job and they deserve their beauty sleep. Despite your friends calling you a party pooper, you’re usually the first to hit the hay no matter the day of the week.

9. You worry about them endlessly.

You always force them to text you the second they get home so you know they’re safe and freak out if they don’t text you on time. No matter what, everyone’s wellbeing is always on your mind. And you’re usually the first one to object to risky endeavors.

10. But these are the reasons they love you.

Let’s be honest, your friend group would be a mess without your maternal instincts. They love that that they can always count on you for some advice or a warm meal. After all, a second mother never hurt anybody.

If these signs sound like you, congratulations, you’re the “mom” friend. Without you, your friends would most likely be starving and lost.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
