13 Things You Know If You Have A Guy Best Friend
Jacob Ufkes

1. He teaches you to be tough

Aside from that sensitivity you catch yourself feeling every so often, a best guy friend will always be there to give you that strand of tough exterior when you need it. No more whining and crying about that boy that said you were ugly, they want you to kick his butt and show him what he's missing.


2. Drama is kept to a minimum

Guys are super cool for the simple fact that their feelings don't control their entire life. For the most part, your friendship is drama free and even with the occasional disagreement, nothing gets too out of hand


3. Life is never so serious

I think if it was possible I'd worry the entire day about all of the stressful parts of life. In reality, having a best guy friend teaches you that serious times don't have to be so serious. Fun can always be worked into the schedule. You always have someone to be your funny self with.


4. You expect your guy friend to understand everything you deal with on a daily basis

A huge apology on this one because I, myself, don't even understand everything I deal with on a daily basis. You just can't. Girls are too much sometimes.


5. You ALWAYS have someone to vent to about mean girls

I mean, if we are going to be honest talking about your encounters with mean girls to a guy is so much funnier than dishing it out to a girl. They just have a way of saying things that put things into perspective, and make you laugh at the same time.


6. You gotta let him know when you think a guy is cute

His advice is really good, even if it isn't what you want to hear. Chances are, he can decode those weird text messages for you and help you navigate through that awkward "talking" stage that everyone hates. After all, he is a guy.


7. You sometimes drive him crazy, and enjoy it

On the off chance that you decide today is the day to be annoying, he's your number one target. His reactions are priceless and you can't help but laugh.


8. He's seen your ugly cry and still talks to you

Now that's a good friend.



9. He's always there to snap the ugliest pictures of you

Some of the ugliest moments of my life could leave me friendless if he decided to share those off guard pictures. Man, I do not have many good angles.


10. If a problem is big or small, he's there

No matter the issue, you always have a friend to see you make it out alive.

11. You agree on a lot of the same things

Political issues, tv shows, you name it, he's with ya.

12. He's always equipped with the best advice, even when you least expect it



13. You definitely couldn't imagine life without him

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.
