Are you an Aunt or Uncle? Well if you are, you have one of the best jobs ever. Nothing is better than getting the title of being the "fun" one. So here is some reasons why being an aunt or uncle is second to none.

Excuse to be a kid again

Once you reach a certain age, its considered “frowned upon” to play with toys, build blanket forts and play games that most 5 year olds play. With nieces and nephews you can be a child all you want, because its for them

Constant spoiling

Oh your mom doesn’t want to buy that for you? Its ok-you know I will! Seeing something in a store that you just have to buy for them is so much fun, even though it may or may not break the bank

The best art

Walls look bare? Need pictures for your desk at work? No need to worry-little kids make the best and most meaningful art pieces out there.

Give 100% honesty

Need an honest opinion of something? Ask the little one. Don’t know about an outfit? Think you’ve gained weight? Questioning someone’s character? Boom-they give you their honest opinion, which is almost always spot on.

Think you’re hilarious

Of course to little kids, most things are pretty funny. You can tell them every lame joke you have and they will think you are the funniest person ever. Nothing boosts your confidence more than little kid laughs

Help in the romance department

Think a guy is cute? Send your even cuter little niece over to him on “accident”. Your niece of nephew is the ultimate wing-man because everyone loves someone who is good with kids.

Taste of what its like to have kids

At the end of the day, you get to see what it is like to actually have kids. It’s so much fun, but at the end of the day when you’re tired you get to send them back home with Mom and Dad.

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.
