Why You Should Live With Your Best Friends In Your Twenties

Your twenties are your adventure years. These are the years to stay out til 6 a.m. when you are supposed to be waking up at 7 a.m., to live off of McDonald's at 11 at night, and to spend the little bit of money you do make at your minimum-wage job on once in a lifetime adventures. The only thing more important than making sure you do these kinds of things is making sure you have the best kind of people surrounding you to do these things with. In your twenties, your best friends basically become your lifeline once you finally move out of your parents' house and live on your own. No need to take on this new stage in your life and go through it alone when you can move in with your best friends who are going through the same transitions. It's not guaranteed every time, but for the most part moving in together will strengthen your friendship.

When you decide to move in together

When it's actually move-in day

The glorious moments when you no longer have to get ready to go out by yourself

Dance parties anytime you want

Going insane at the bar/fraternity houses when they play your favorite song that you always have to blast through the house

Suddenly your closets just all merge together and you never have to wear the same thing twice again

They get your brand of humor

You don't even have to wait for them to respond to your texts because you can just go to their room

They love you despite knowing what you look like first thing in the morning

You can be as needy as you want and no one outside of the comfort of your abode has to know

They'll go to the ends of the earth for you, even with ridiculous requests

When you're sick but at least one of your roomies has watched Grey's Anatomy all the way through so she can basically diagnose you

They're the closest people who understand how neurotic your family is without being in your family

You basically become kind of famous because they always put you in their Snapchat story

They'll always have your back

Even if you're being self-destructive and not yourself

You are constantly surrounded by people who love you and only want the best for you

So why struggle through these years of firsts alone when you can conquer them with your best friends?

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.
