It's true what they say, best friends come in to your life when you're least expecting it. When I first met you, I didn't know you'd be my best friend. I didn't know I would want you in my wedding one day or that my fear of not being your friend would haunt me more than my fear of bugs. I didn't expect you and I to hit it off as well as we did. I didn't expect your calm and collected personality to blend well with my stubborn and persistent personality. And I sure didn't expect for you to become my new "home." Moving to college was at the least a transition. But you've helped me learn and grow more in these past couple of months than I could've ever imagined. Here's 10 reasons why you're my best friend...

1. You accept that my 15 minute naps actually mean that I'm out for the night.

Thank you for playing along with me whenever I say "I promise I'll wake up this time, I just need a power nap."


2. You plan spontaneous trips to New York City with me.

When I told you I wanted to go to New York City over Christmas break, you didn't laugh in my face, instead, you said, "l et's go."

3. Your laugh is contagious. Literally.

You're always telling me "funny" stories and laughing at absolutely everything. To tell the truth most of the time I'm laughing is pure because your laugh cracks me up. I can't help but to laugh every time you laugh.


4. You got my back when I can't reach it.

I think this may be the most important reason you're my best friend. Thank you for always fake tanning my back for me, even if you're still half asleep.


5. You make everything fun.

Whether we're driving back to College Station early in the morning or our hair is frizzing up because it's raining at Wurstfest, I am always having fun when we're together.

6. My happiness is your happiness.

You are so supportive and so happy with everything that I do. Anytime something exciting happens for me, you're the first person I tell because I know we will celebrate together.

7. Nothing we say to each other is awkward.

Let's admit it, we say some pretty weird things to each other that would probably be best left in our heads... but we don't even hesitate to say it out loud.

8. We share our faith.

We openly talk about God, our beliefs, and our spiritual aspirations. We go to Breakaway together and constantly push each other to grow our relationships with God.

9. You understand me.

Literally. I don't even understand what I'm saying half the time. I often talk way too fast and all of my words jumble together and you still understand what I am saying and vise versa.

10. We share dreams.

Although our future ambitions and dreams may seem out of reach. We push each other. You don't just support me, you say you'll be there for it all. We have dreams of moving to New York together and doing really amazing things in our lives and never once have you doubted or shot down what I've had to say or believe.

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.
