16 Reasons You Should TOTALLY Never Date Your Best Friend

The friend-zone is very real and sometimes very necessary... or so we think.

The friend-zone kinda sucks, but there are very valid reasons as to why you should shut them down.

Dating your friend, especially your best friend, is almost always an awful idea, ending most likely in some sort of pathetic tragedy resulting in self-pitty and way too much Ben n' Jerry's ice cream.

The following are definitely things to consider before you jump into a relationship with your best friend.

1. You wouldn't want to ruin the friendship.

Because nothing good could really come from walking down the road of dating your best friend... Right?

2. They know your entire dating history.

And they know that none of your ex'sexese treated you the way they know you are meant to be treated.

3. They definitely know how weird you are.

Luckily, they're just as strange.

4. Actually, scratch that, they probably know nothing about you.

It’s not like all those nights talking about struggles, victories, and nonsense really covered anything important.

5. They will help you with all the gross bodily function tasks.

Popping zit, pealing sunburn, and many other personal hygiene things are suddenly pass-times

6. They won’t understand your humor.

What are inside jokes?

7. But honestly, they can read your mind, and that is a scary place.

You know it's bad when they can finish your sentences; Or even worse, when you don't have to say anything at all and they already know what your thinking.

8. They can be UNPREDICTABLE.

As much as you think you know they're every thought, they somehow keep you on your toes with one surprise after the next.

9. They have probably met your family before.

Nothing like some rude and obnoxious siblings to really bring out the insanity in you. Thank God they seem to fit right into the madness. Is it weird that your family seems to like them a little better than you?

10. You won’t have anything in common.

Like why do you guys spend so much time together anyways?

11. They know all your bad habits.

Because all the time spent together allows you to let your guard down quite a bit.

12.You are past the polite comfort zone.

Be prepared for awkward moments, unapologetic farts, and laughing with you mouth full.

13. There can and will be silence.

You can sit there for hours not saying a word to each other, but once they leave the room you feel incomplete.

14. You definitely are not going to look 10/10 in front of them.

And they don't look 10/10 in front of you either.

15. They will be able to see right through your “I’m Fine”'s.

There’s no hiding your emotions from them alright.

16. They will love you unconditionally.

Friendship over relationship ALWAYS. Even when you don’t want to be loved, even when you don’t feel like you should, they will be there for you always and forever and ever until the end of time because they are your best friend.

What’s better than that?

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.
