If one person is going to get ice cream, you're all getting ice cream.

You really don't know someone until you live with them! This is a lesson I'm quickly learning this summer as I have taken the opportunity to live with my best friends from high school. The four of us were separated when we all chose four different universities, but we are now all living the dream together at the beach. This is a list of 12 things that you adopt when deciding to live with your best friends.

1. Four separate closets quickly morph into a closet the size of a small boutique.

2. You find yourself making mass amounts of food for family dinner.

3. If one person's getting ice cream, you are all getting ice cream.

4. Every single night is a sleepover (obviously consisting of talking into the wee hours of the morning, eating midnight snacks and watching countless movies.

5. You carpool pretty much everywhere you go.

One person needs to go to the bank? "I'll ride with you."

6. If one person goes to the gym, everyone goes to the gym.

Same goes for naps.

7. You find yourself sifting through laundry extremely confused about whose laundry is whose.

8. You'll need to label your leftovers because that fridge belongs to everyone in the house.

9. The competition surprisingly never stops.

10. At least twice a day you hear, "What's your phone at? I need the charger".

11. A dance party is always happening because there is always someone in the shower blaring their music from the bathroom.

12. You realize you wish you could live in this moment forever.

What's better than living with your besties?

They may be in your space 24/7, but would you really have it any other way?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
