Friends are not easy to find. They are taken for granted and are always there when needed. Good friends are the ones that are by your side through thick and thin, support you during a breakup, and are the scapegoat to temporarily dealing with problems.

There are five main types of friends which include: The Leader, the Cheerleader, the Prophet, the Confidant, and the Motivator. Within each friend is a blessing, one you do not expect. Friends hold you up, they support and guide you. They are there to listen to you and be there whether you are in a time of need or just around for shits and giggles.

The Leader will tell you to pull your act together and keep fighting, they are the reason you are so put together even when you feel like you are not. They push you to be your best self.

The Cheerleader will cheer you on and tell you that you're doing great, even if you are doing everything wrong and should stop altogether. They have that special kind of pep that you used to get from the girls in uniforms at those football and basketball games in high school.

The Prophet gives wise advice, not the crap (sorry dad) that you get from your parents, but the type of advice that relates directly to your situation. Although parental advice is always needed and is awesome and all, friend advice is always good because they understand what you’re going through because they are going through the same things.

The Confidant is the friend you can trust anything with. Secrets, help, support, they got you.

The Motivator is the friend who motivates you, duh. They give you reasons to not quit and will be there 100% of the way.

If you're anything like me, I'm not an easy person to love. Friends put up with A LOT of shit and the majority of the time, we take them for granted. Take the time to thank them for being there for you through thick and thin and don’t do anything stupid to lose them. They are your friends and they want to be there for you, so let them.

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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
