It has not always been rainbows and sunshine, but we always have each other’s back no matter what.

Ten things you say to your neighbor when you're BFF's
Maggie Cretens

Growing up in a small local neighborhood where house are a few feet apart makes it pretty easy to meet your neighbors- even if their a few houses across or over. Sometimes you’re lucky and make a friendship that lasts a lifetime. I can’t even begin to describe how close my neighbor Geena and I have been ever since we were little. It has not always been rainbows and sunshine, but we always have each other’s back no matter what. Here are some phrases you can relate to if you and your neighbor are besties;

1) “Do you have power/gas/water?”

Unfortunately, the no water issue is like a bi-monthly occurrence in the neighborhood I live in.

2) “Want to grab lunch?”

This is a weekly question.

3) "Did you hear that?"

It could have been the monthly test alarm going off but either way they've always got your back!

4) "I have the best story to tell you, I'm coming over."

Oh the stories; Maybe it was something funny that occurred in class or an amazing first date, they're always down to hear whatever you have to say and vice-versa.

5) I made some *insert food here*, want some?

This comes in clutch especially when you're babysitting a neighbor and you're hungry. Mac and cheese for the win!

6) Can I come over?

This is a daily question.

7) Can I come over? Okay good because I'm here.

Even better!

8) Want to go to *insert store name here* with me? Because I don't want to see *insert name of someone you don't like* alone.

No one likes shopping alone, especially when you could possibly run into someone you don't like..

9) Target and/or ice cream run?

Who doesn't like Target and ice cream? Driving the back roads you grew up on blasting some music and jamming hard is always a great time.

10) Wine night?

Do I need to say more? Everyone likes grapes!

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.
