During most of my collegiate career, several professors have stated that gender roles are determined prior to the birthing process.

If there is one phrase that is difficult to define, it would be what a best friend is. It can vary from person to person, but for many, a best friend is a special person in your life. They listen to what you’re compelled say when no one else will. When you feel melancholy, they will do their best to ensure that a smile will find its way back to your face.
