Why My Mom Is The Best Friend I've Ever Had
Ashley McDonald

Mothers. There's not much not to love about them. They're there for you through your worst moments, and everything they do is laced with good intentions. Here are a few reminders why your mom really is the best.

1. She will always be honest with you.

Whether you're trying on prom dresses or asking her opinion on your new boyfriend, you can always count on your mom to be totally, brutally honest with you. It's out of love... I think.

2. She always has the best advice.


Boys, fashion, family, friends, school... She always knows just what to say, and when to say it. Even if you didn't ask.

3. You can raid her closet.


Whenever you're bored of your own clothes, you know you have a second closet just waiting for you to rummage through in the room next door. Win!

4. You can always count on her to make a big deal over anything that's bothering you.

You got the wrong order at a restaurant? Your shoes are uncomfortable? You're hungry? You're tired? You bet that your mom is going to take care of that in about .5 seconds.

5. She makes the best food.

Speaking of being hungry, there is nothing in this world like a home-cooked meal from your mom. Whether your mom can cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner or if she can only make cereal, when it comes from her, it's the best food ever.

6. If you hate someone, she automatically hates them even more.

She is the one person in your life who you can trash talk anyone to, and even if she doesn't know them, she will always agree with you. She's on your side, no questions asked.

7. She's the most selfless person you know.

Day or night, she is always a phone call away to soothe your worried mind or make you laugh. She would drop anything she's doing to help you in whatever way she can.

8. She really is your biggest fan.

When no one else wanted to drive six hours to take you to your cheer competition, or wake up at the crack of dawn and stand in the rain to watch you from the sidelines, she was there. She supports everything you do unconditionally.

9. There is nothing she can't fix.

She seems to know just what medicine to give you when you're sick, and just how to fix your outfit with only a safety pin. Even your worst days can be magically fixed with a hug and kiss from your mom.

10. She truly is your best friend.


She takes up a big space in your heart full of comfort and love that could NEVER be replaced. And at the end of the day, you know you want to be just like her when you grow up.

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.
