You know those little things your S.O. does that really get on your nerves?

Like when...

1. They only send one-word responses

If they're uninterested in how you are or what you are doing, do they really love you? If you are putting in 80% of the effort, are they really that great? If they're still acting like they don't care, they probably don't.

2. They're always on their phone while you're together

Hey! I'm over here! Could you get off your phone for two seconds and spend time with me? Thanks!

3. Their ex is their best friend on Snapchat

Yikes. Social media can be great, but seeing your boyfriend like that girl's bikini pic on Instagram or your girlfriend constantly Snapchatting her ex? Not a good feeling.

4. They always invite their friends on your dates

Okay, as much as I love group hang outs, can we just have one date where it's just the two of us?

5. They make you feel bad for wanting to hang out with your friends instead of him/her

Listen, as much as you love your S.O., spending every waking moment together is not healthy for anyone. Sometimes you just need a girls night out or, dare I say, a Saturday with the boys.

6. They don't introduce you to their family or friends as their boyfriend/girlfriend

"This is my uhhhh... Shelby. This is Shelby."

Awkward.

7. They tell you what you can and cannot do

If he tells you that you can't wear something because it's too revealing or she unreasonably tells you that you can't hang out with someone, just dump them.

8. They don't support your goals

Don't question or ignore your S.O.'s dreams for their future. Be there for them and help them make it a reality.

9. They act disrespectfully in front of your family

They better be on their best behavior around your family and actually want to engage with them. Let's face it-- If your family doesn't like them, you will never last.

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.
