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?

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

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.
