7 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My "Boy-Friends"

It's very rare to find a group of guys who you can count on for almost anything, and when you do, it's a blessing.

Of course, you have your go-to girls who you can spill all your drama to and have late night conversations about the cute boy from math class with but there is something a little extra special about having "boy-friends."

This group of guys are your go-to people whenever you need an effortless laugh, a shoulder to cry on or some unexpected advice. We females sometimes give boys a bad name, but once you find the ones who you can rely on as your best friends, you begin to see how lost we would be without them. They make the tough times easier, the heartaches hurt less and make the laughter grow stronger.

Thank you, boys, for always being there — I would be lost without you.


1. They're never on a diet and are always down for food.

The word "diet," isn't in their vocabulary. So if you're feeling those fries at 2:00 a.m., guarantee they are too.


2. They'll always be there to protect you.

It doesn't matter if he's Ryan Gosling or Channing Tatum, they'll never think he's good enough for you.


3. They always know the perfect time to make you laugh.

Considering they never take anything seriously anyway (unless when needed of course), they can effortlessly bring a permanent smile to your face no matter the situation.


4. Nothing is ever awkward.

They're boys, they never over think it. So go ahead, burp as loud as you want, they'll probably just try and compete with you anyways.


5. They're there when "he" isn't.

Of course, other guys are going to come and go from your life and possibly break your heart, but you always know you'll have your best guys by your side through it all.


6. They give the best advice without knowing it.

Sometimes you just need to see the male perspective to realize you've been over reacting the whole time.


7. You'll probably end up marrying one of them.

Let's be honest, they're still boys and will probably try to grab your heart in a more romantic way from time to time, and maybe you'll find yourself falling for one of them too. So go for it! What's better than ending up with your best friend?

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.
