We all have that one friend who has now become family. I was blessed and met this person in 1st grade. After 11 years of friendship, I couldn't be any more thankful. She has honestly made me realize why having a lifelong best friend is a great thing.

1. They are a shoulder to cry on

Bad day? Going through a rough breakup or even a rough week? Need to vent? They will always be the first person who will be all ears and listen to anything and everything you need to say.

2. Endless adventures

They will almost always be your go-to person when it comes to road trips and adventures. Plus every time the two of you go on one, you come back with the best memories and so many things to talk about.

3. Deep convos

Whether it be gossiping or ranting, these convos go on for hours on end, and there's always tears of laughter or tears of hurt. Either way, there is never. day that goes by that there isn't something good to talk about.

4. They're the one person you can ALWAYS rely on

Need some late night snacks? Forgot something? Need someone to go with you somewhere? They always have your back. They very rarely let you down, and will feel bad about it for days on end if they do. You never have to worry about anything going downhill with them.

5. No sugar-coating

They will straight up tell you if you aren't looking too good. They also aren't going to stand back and let you think good things about a person or scenario when they know the truth about it. On top of that, they won't be afraid to let you know how they feel about the person you date. They also won't be the person that hides secrets from you. They would rather tell you the truth no matter how bad it may hurt, instead of letting you believe something completely different and have it destroy you.

6. You can always be yourself around them

They won't ever try to change you in any way, unless it's to help you improve yourself.

7. You never get bored when you're together

There is never a dull moment. You two genuinely enjoy each other's company and can always have fun doing something, even if it's just sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix.

8. You both know that you're friendship will never end

Let's face it. By this point, you two are stuck with each other forever. You truly enjoy having them as your best friend. You have been through thick and thin with each other, and nothing could ever destroy this friendship.

9. They will always be your #1 supporter

They will never fail to support you with every decision you make. They enjoy watching you play your sport, and will always be the loudest one in the stadium, or arena. They make it obvious that nobody else will ever top them when it comes to supporting you.

10. The both of you are practically the same person

You have now become the same person. You think the same, have the same interests, dislike the same things, and feel the same way about a lot of things.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
