Look at you, you started college, made some amazing friends, and survived your classes. Congratulations! Your life could not be better. You and your friends have plans for the rest of your college careers, maybe even plans that go beyond college. And you've pretty much gotten used to a certain group of people and lifestyle. Then, just when the semester is coming to an end, one of your squad decides to transfer and they shatter your future plans, and of course, you're going to miss them like crazy. What are you going to do? You're going to move on, that's what you're going to do, and here are a few tips on how to do that.

1. First of all, stay in touch with your transferring friend.

Put Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and every other social media you have an account with, to good use.

2. Keep building your relationship(s) with your friend(s) that aren't transferring.

They didn't leave you, so reward them with more love than usual.

3. Make new friends to fill the hole in your heart where your other friend used to be.

4. Pretend they never existed.

5. Focus on school.

After all, you're in college to get an education, who needs friends?

6. Get a job or internship so you can have money to buy things that also fill the gaping hole in your heart.

7. Cry a little (or a lot).

8. If you must, use a little passive aggression to get out those emotions brought on from abandonment. Throw a little shade, drag them subtly.

9. Occasionally reminisce about old times with your friend by looking at pictures of you together, but remember that they left you and everything was a lie.


10. Get a cat.

A cat would probably solve all of your problems.

11. Remember, you're a strong and independent woman or man.

12. Realize that not everything is about you.

Your friend didn't leave you to intentionally cause you this grief. They obviously had some logical reason to leave, such as a financial reason or they just wanted to be closer to home. Good friends are forever, and although you may not see them every day like usual, they will always be there for you and you will eventually see them again. So, stay positive, love your friends, get your education, and keep pushing forward.

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.
