When You Have The Same Birthday As Your Parent

It's all fun and games until cake gets shoved in your face.

When You Have The Same Birthday As Your Parent
Carlie Wiseley

My Dad and I just had a birthday...together. I was born on his birthday, and that's pretty cool. His mom and her dad also shared a birthday. I guess it just runs in the family! From sharing your cake to finding that perfect card, if you share a birthday with your parent you know how special, and crazy, it can be.

1. All cake decisions must be made jointly

Well...sort of...

2. You have recently (jokingly) threatened your parent with princess birthday cake


3. You have the same zodiac sign so you're hard headed in the same ways

But you have also been caught scheming together. What? We didn't do anything!

4. You were their birthday gift the year you were born...

5. And you have tried to recycle yourself as a gift because you can't come up with another idea

Let's just stick that bow on my head and recycle me for every holiday. I'm the best present ever anyway, right?

5. Your parent spends a lot of their own birthdays chaperoning your parties

6. When you tell people you two share a birthday, this is their reaction:

Wait, wait, wait. Really??? That is so cool! But see this look of fear in my eyes, that's because I'm afraid I might forget, and only remember one of your birthdays.

7. No card ever adequately describes the situation.

9. That one time you weren't together on your birthday and it was the weirdest day ever

Wait, what do I do?

10. It gets hard to sneak around and figure out gifts when there's two people to buy for

Uh oh, I've been caught

11. You two are the only people allowed to pick on each other the whole day

But seriously, stop shoving cake in my face now.

12. Sharing your birthday makes it so much more special

Here, I'll even share OUR cake with you!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
