20 Struggles of Going to a Different College Than Your BFF

Times are tough whenever you're far away from your best friend.

20 Struggles of Going to a Different College Than Your BFF

1. No one else has even seen your favorite movie, so quoting it makes you feel stupid.
2. No one understands your inside jokes. So when you bring up a story, no one laughs.
3. You don't laugh as much. It's impossible.
4. You don't get to harass her significant other (in person, at least).
5. However, you can creep on all of her boyfriends and friends via social media. And they probably will think you are crazy.
6. Whenever she visits you or you visit her, you either ignore everyone else in your college town or you have TOO FUN of a night. To the point to where you're both are worthless the rest of the weekend.
7. You can only vent to her via text message. Or phone call. Or Skype call.
8. Whenever she doesn't reply to your text in 2 minutes, you harass her.
9. Her best friends from school call you whenever they can't find her. Also, you are close with her best friends from school (not a struggle, actually kind of cool).
10. You have to go through awkward date functions and events WITHOUT each other.
11. You aren't in the same pledge class. Or probably the same sorority. But that's okay, because you two find a way to provide "Greek unity" and somehow combine the Kappa Kappa Gamma hand signal with the Delta Zeta hand signal. It works (not really).
12. You actually have to drive a distance to visit her. When at home you live 5 minutes apart. Or just at each other's houses.
13. You can't be roommates. Even though you know y'all would have the PERFECT living situation.
14. You wake up to her 100 second long Snapchat to you and you are instantly jealous that she's having fun while you're studying.
15. Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks seem forever away.
16. You are typically too busy to visit each other because face it, college sucks sometimes.
17. You have no one that agrees that you are, in fact, the funniest person ever (even though you both obviously are).
18. You try to describe to your friends at school how cool she is, and they just don't get it.
19. Everyone else you send hideous snapchats to will screenshot them and show the world. You know that she will screenshot them, but only to send you weeks later and LOL about.
20. SHE LIVES FAR AWAY AND YOU MISS HER.

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.
