Situations You're Bound to Experience While in a Serious Relationship: As Told By GIFs

I'm not sure what's causing it, but love (and engagements) always seem to be in the air. ALWAYS. So if you and your special someone have been dating for 6+ months (or over 2 years like my boyfriend and I), it can be assumed you've run in to a majority of these awkward situations thanks to your peers...

"So...have you looked at rings yet?"

One of your friends openly threatens to end her relationship if there's no ring by spring. 

Friends who are also in serious relationships start up an intense workout routine so they can look good in their engagement pictures...

Girls you barely know "jokingly" ask what they have to do to get invited to your wedding.

Your friend group refers to you and your boyfriend as "Mom" & "Dad".

Your sorority sister gets upset she wasn't the first in the pledge class to get engaged.

Your best friends take it upon themselves to start deciding who your maid of honor should be.

You get asked if you have picked out a style of bridesmaids dresses yet (probably by the same people who decided who your maid of honor will be).

You have been called "Mrs. _____".

Every time you and your significant other do anything remotely romantic in front of friends, they are suddenly "dying of cuteness."

No matter how many times you tell people you can't predict the future and don't know when/how/if there will be an engagement, they always give you that same look...

...and this is the only response you can muster.

Peers tell you they may or may not have a bet going on when the engagement is going to happen.

And let's not forget when any of the above situations happen when your significant other is with you...

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.
