16 Things Only Best Friends Can Understand
Daily Mail

We've all got one and our lives are significantly greater because of them. I am talking about best friends. They act as our counselors, nurses, comedians, and so much more. They are your biggest fan, and the person you want to go on continuous adventures with. Having a best friend means that there are some things only the two of you can fully understand, and you cannot help but love it.

1. You are each others biggest cheerleaders.

Whether it is a sporting event, academic accomplishment, or just getting out of bed, best friends are there to cheer you on and always show support. They do not mind standing on the sideline to be there for you because they know it is something you really want and they know you will do it for them too.

2. Keeping secrets is not a thing.

They know all of the embarrassing things about you and you would not have it any other way. They are the first person you want to tell when something big happens in your life because you know they will react just the way you need them too. They know that you wore Crocs in middle school and your deepest fears but that is what keeps you so close.

3. Your style starts to rub off on each other.

Your closet starts to have more of her clothes than your own. You always go to her for outfit and style advice and she is always willing to give it. You may start to realize that your styles are rubbing off on each other maybe too much, but hey you both look great.

4. She is the best wing woman you will ever have.

She knows how to make you sound good, and can tell you when someone is interested in you when you may not even know yourself. She gives you the best advice when it comes to relationships because she may know what you need more than you do.

5. You have multiple inside jokes.

Your friendship thrives on inside jokes. They are created at sleepovers or really deep car rides, and they last forever. Its your chance to find the funny side to a normal situation and it is only between the two of you.

6. Her family dinners are your family dinners.

Her family can feel like your second family. You are welcome to family dinners and you make yourself at home as soon as you walk through the door. Odds are you are in at least a few family pictures and you are more than happy about it.

7. You have many throwback songs that call for choreograph dance moves and excitement.

You have a whole playlist that means something to the both you and when a familiar song comes on you cannot help but freak out and burst out into dance.

8. She will take one hundred pictures of you so you can have one good one.

She will play to be your personal photographer just so you can get that one good picture to share with the world. She will reach high and low to get your best angle and she will not mind putting herself in dangerous situation, such as standing on train tracks, to get that perfect shot of you.

9. You can communicate without words.

You can give her just one look and she will know exactly what you mean. Whether the look means that someone is creeping you out, you are over it, or if you like someone, she will pick up on it immediately and it is kind of scary but cool.

10. You get in sticky situations together.

You constantly find yourself and her in weird situations and you have no idea how you got into them. However, she never complains about being in the weird situation but rather you two can have a good laugh, an unbelievable story, and sometimes you accomplish something.

11. You have their medical history memorized.

You most likely know her allergies, what makes her sick, and her medications, and she knows yours. You both try to play nurse for each other even if it means just feeding her ice cream until she falls asleep.

12. She is welcomed to all of your dates.

She is always your tag along and vice versa. You know it better be okay that she is there because whoever he is needs to get used to you and your best friend being a packaged deal.

13. You know what makes her mad.

You know every little thing that will set her off and you are prepared to calm her down at all times. You also know when to warn her or avoid situations for her emotional well being.

14. You love her craziness.

She is crazy and weird a lot of the time, but you would never change one thing about her because you love her. Her craziness is often refreshing and keeps your life interesting and besides you owe her for dealing with all of your crazy.

15. You are not afraid to be honest with each other.

You tell each other how it is, in the nicest way possible. You know you can always turn to each other for honest advice.

16. No matter what she is your go to.

She is not just your best friend. She is like a sister and she is your person. You will never know what you did to deserve her, but you are glad you did 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.
