Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.


1. Leaves you voice mails.

mom voicemail

Then they will text you to tell you they left you a voicemail.

2. When you answer, the phone says, "Hey it's Mom!", even though you have caller ID.

3. Tells you things about your friends she found out on Facebook.

"Did you know Gretta is engaged!?"

4. Fast-forwards through sex scenes.

This is the most awkward thing any human will have to experience.

5. Asks you what really provocative song lyrics mean.

"What does she mean, she loves herself?" "I don't know mom!"

6. Comments on everything you post online.

Do you just snoop on my profile all day?

7. Asks you if you are seeing anyone.

Nothing will make you feel more single then having to tell your mother you're single.

8. Tells you what she had for dinner when you aren't home.

9. Asks you the same question over and over.

That I've answered a thousand times already.

10. Tells you you need a haircut.

My hair is fine!

11. Tells you you need to start eating more.

"You look so skinny! Have you been eating?"

12. Snoops on your life.

13. Wakes you up in the morning in that annoying calm voice.

A million times.

14. Tells you she's proud of you about everything.

"You are so talented."

15. Uses lingo in the dorkiest way.

That's on fleek!

16. Asks you to vote for her favorite contestants on 'American Idol,' 'Dancing with the Stars,' or 'The Voice.'

My mom likes Kat on The Voice more than me.

17. Makes a ridiculous amount of snacks when your friends come over.

Moms make the greatest hostesses.

18. Loves you unconditionally.

No matter what, your mom is always there for you. She's your shoulder to cry on and the only person you want to talk to when you need to calm down.

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.
