At every family function there's some things you can always count on. Such as the food being great, the conversations to be long, and your family's personality traits to shine through. While there are many different families that come in all different forms. There's some family members that we all seem to know and love... or loathe. These are just a few of the people that we all have in our family.

1. The grandpa who tells the same stories over and over again.

No matter how many times you say, "Grandpa, we've heard this one before," he'll insist on telling it again. It's best just to let him tell it and laugh at all of his jokes, no matter how bad the punch line is.

2. The overly successful cousin who does everything right.

The star of your family. The one who gets all the praise and attention. No matter how much you succeed in your life, you just can't seem to top your perfect cousin.

3. The one aunt that tries WAY too hard to be cool.

You know her. The one who acts like she's still in college. She reminisces on the crazy days of her youth at every gathering. Someone should probably tell her that Aeropostale is out of style now.

4. Your great aunt who?

That one woman who's known you your whole life. She's watched you grow and always comments on how big you've gotten at every family party. Even though you're pretty sure you've never met her before.

5. The cool grandma.

She'll slip you a $20 underneath the table and keep all your secrets from your parents. She always makes you laugh and is the person you're most excited to see at family gatherings. There's nothing like a day at grandma's!

6. Your one cousin who brings a new girlfriend to every party.

Every holiday means a new girlfriend for your one cousin to introduce to the entire family. No matter how many times he swears it's serious this time, you know he'll be with a new girl by the time the next family party rolls around. Why bother learning this girl's name?

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.
