Things That Happen When Your Family Is Crazy

We can all probably agree that our families are a little crazy, but I think mine takes the cake.

Between taking board games way too seriously and giving plungers to each other for 18th birthday presents (according to my dad, that is a practical life gift that I should treasure), my family takes weird to another level. So here are a number of things that happens when your family is crazy.


When you try to take a cute picture, it comes out like this.

I just wanted a cute mirror picture, is that too much to ask?


You and your dad can have conversations just using hashtags.

You tell your best friend you are writing this article and she says: "I bet you have plenty of stories to use"


And do I have plenty of stories, like the time my dad rode a carousel horse at Disney World.


When counting how many meals your mom can make, 90% of them are frozen.

So. Many. Frozen. Lasagnas.


The workers at the urgent care by your house know your family because you go so often.

They offer a large variety of cast colors!


Your family drove all the way back from Vermont to Charlotte with a 7 foot tall teddy bear.

The name is Vermonster by the way.


You've spent all your Christmas money on arcade baseball games to prove that you could win a stuffed animal.

See that purple bear under the dolphin I'm holding? That's my proof I can do it.


Your dad takes pictures like this:

And I guess I inherited those genes too.


All in all, my family is pretty weird, and you probably think yours is too. But I wouldn't trade them for the world.

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.
