Because of this, I simply can't justify celebrating Mother's Day since I see my mom as so much more than just my mom. I think we should celebrate more of a BFF day since you meet that criteria a little better.

Sunday morning phone calls begin with "you'll never guess who I made out with last night"


Your selfie game is strong.

She knows to just nod and agree when you're just venting.

But she also gives great advice when needed.

You text about the TV shows you binge watch together.

She isn't afraid to tell you when you're being a b*tch (but in a nice way).

She doesn't have to comment on Facebook photos asking about the boy you're standing next to because she's heard all about him already.

You borrow each other's clothes.


P.S. Sorry for taking the light wash jeans hostage this semester.

You text her at all hours of the day, especially when you're having a life crisis.

An ideal Friday night is spent together watching "Friends" with a glass of wine.

You rely on each other for fashion and shopping advice.

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
