10 Signs You're More Like Family Than Friends
McKenzie Evans

Have you ever wondered if you and your best friend are actually family? Well, here are a couple of signs:

1. You know each other's garage codes.

You get to your best friend's house and no one is home? No problem -- you can just type in the code and chill until someone gets home.

2. You know where everything is located in the kitchen.

Isn't it awful when you go to someone's house and have to look through all the cabinets just to find a glass for your water? By the time you actually find it, you feel like you wasted half of your life. Well luckily for you, this isn't a problem you have at your best friend's house.

3. You hang out with your friend's parents when your friend is not around.

Your friend isn't home? There's no one to talk to? Nonsense. Their parents are just as good as them... or maybe better.

4. You know how to work their shower.

Is it not the worst when you are ready to get in the shower at a friend's house and then you realize you don't know how to work the dang thing?! Well this isn't your problem anymore. You are so familiar with it that you have started to teach their other guests.

5. You know the extended family.

Family party? You're there. I mean, its not a problem because you already know everyone.

6. You have the inside scoop on all the family drama.

You are around your friends family so much that they feel like you are part of the family, so they always have to catch you up on latest family fiasco.

7. Your Wi-Fi connects automatically.

Nothing better than walking into a house and automatically connecting to the WiFi. Nobody has time for those crazy long passwords anymore.

8. You can get food without asking.

Congrats! You have passed that awkward point of asking if there is any food you could possibly eat. Instead, you go grab your armful from the fridge and plop back down on the couch next to your other family.

9. You have to help clean the house.

There's people coming over? Hope you know where all the cleaning supplies are located!

10. You get in trouble with their parents just as much as yours.

The worst part of being more like family than friends? You get in trouble from your friend's parents like you are one of their children. You consider yourself to be, but you hoped that discipline wasn't included in that.

Having friends that are more like family is awesome, even if it does mean getting yelled at and helping clean a house. At least you're getting some free food out of it.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
