10 Things You Should Never Forget To Thank Your Girlfriend For

Guys, let's face it, your girlfriend does a lot for you that goes unnoticed. Take a second out of your day today and share your gratitude with them. Here are just a few of the things that you should thank your girlfriend for this year:

1. Keeping us updated on what is in style

As embarrassing as it is to say, without my girlfriend, I would still be rocking cargo shorts. Whether your girlfriend has pushed you to get rid of your patchy beard, your cherished old shirt with the hole in the armpit (you know the one I'm talking about), or your worn out Nike shoes, they keep us from looking like dweebs.

2. Always taking the last bite of food

We didn't want the nub of the hot dog, or the crust of the pizza anyway.

3. Being our partner in crime

Whether it's staying up till 2:00 a.m. to see a rare sighting of South Georgia snow flurries, or taking a spontaneous day trip, you are always up for anything.

4. Taking thousands of random pictures of us

Though at the time we may not appreciate it, the random pictures you take document our adventures and preserve our memories.

5. Tolerating our impulse purchases

Whether we buy a motorcycle or a fishing boat to pursue our dreams as a professional bass angler, you stand behind us 100 percent and we can't honestly thank you enough for that.

6. Always "having our six"

This is especially important in college when we are trying to figure out what we want to do with the rest of our lives. It makes things just a bit easier knowing that no matter what path in life we choose to go down, you will always have our backs and support us the whole way through.

7. Laughing at our jokes (no matter how funny they really are)

Ladies, we know that not all of our jokes are "Friends" or "Seinfeld" material, but you still laugh at them to make us feel better about ourselves.

8. Giving up control of the T.V. remote every fall

We know that you would much rather be watching something on TLC, but thank you for being a good sport and watching football with us every weekend.

9. Always being our plus-one

From weddings, to family barbecues, you are always happy to be by our side at every special event and it makes the event that much more special having you there.

10. "Stealing" our clothes

Ladies, having you wear our shirts is about as close as we can get to taping a sign that reads "taken" to your back. Thank you for always gladly wearing our big t-shirts and sweatshirts.

Though the list could go on forever, these are the most important things you should take time out of your day to thank your girlfriend for. Let's face it fellas, they deserve it.

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.
