19 Struggles Of Being The Friend With Their Shit Together

There's always that one friend in the group that's the glue that holds everyone together. Literally. They're the ones that are making sure everyone is safe and taken care of, and put together - and pulling them back together when they're not. When you are that friend, it comes with it's fair share of struggles.


1. People have higher expectations for you




2. Everyone depends on you all the time



3. Everyone expects you to always have the answers




4. It’s really hard to tell your friends "no", and even harder for them to accept it


5. Everyone always asks to borrow things


6. You’re always feeding everyone and cleaning up after them




7. You’re the shoulder to cry on




8. With your friends you have to be prepared for literally anything when leave your house




9. You’re expected to be the D.D. whenever necessary




10. You have to stay a little more together when drinking




11. You’re the one that takes control in emergency situations



12. You’re constantly apologizing for your friend’s behavior


13. Which means, you’ve learned to be really good at talking you and your friends out of sticky situations



14. You're always the one taking care of people that are tooooo drunk



15. You can’t not give a shit




16. Sometimes you’re envious of your friend’s carefree attitudes



17. You hate feeling like the mom friend – but you sooo are




18. Sometimes you just want to like chill and not have it all together, but then you take it too far



19. Which leads to: No one knows how to handle you when you lose your shit





But that's okay, because you can always handle your own shit, right?

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.
