We all hear or read about people saying they're the mom or the dad friend, but why do we never hear about the grandparent friend? You know, the friend who strangely reminds you of your grandma or grandpa.

If one of your friends don't automatically pop into your mind while you read this, then congrats, you're probably the friend of the group. Here are some signs that will show if you're the grandparent friend.

1. 8 p.m. became the new 3 a.m.

Nothing makes me happier than getting a full night of sleep.

2. You'd rather sleep on a Saturday night, than go out with your friends

3. You can't stay up to date with the newest lingo

How the hell do you guys come up with this crap?!

4. Can't keep up with all the dances that are coming out

5. You find it hard to understand what people are saying in their music these days

Okay, but can anyone actually understand them?

6. You complain that the music sucks and insist that someone changes the station

7. Always complaining that something hurts

All grandparent friends need life alert.

8. Or just always complaining

9. You often refer back to your days, even though you're one of the youngest in the group

It seems like my childhood was so long ago.

10. Operating technology is like rocket science to you

11. You have a favorite spot to sit and watch your favorite show

And you probably get pissed off when you see someone else sit in your spot.

12. Things have to get repeated to you five times before you just give up on trying to hear

Just smile, nod, and pretend like you heard them.

13. Tell jokes worst than dad jokes

Where else do you think your father or mother got their sense of humor from?

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.
