You know the drill. Go to college, meet new people, become super close and never want to leave again, right? Well, yes, but not entirely. There's not a problem with staying best friends with the girls you were inseparable with back home, but the hardest part is when they go to different schools, in separate directions, hours away.

1. You HARDLY get to see each other. Like ever.

You have different schedules. You go home on different weekends. It's next to impossible to meet up, unless it's the holidays and then you have to work around all your family time just to see them, but that's what social media, texting and FaceTime were invented for...amIright?

2. You get a tad jealous because they're making new friends...but so are you.

I mean really, you didn't expect them to not have any friends at all, right? They are around these people all the time. They can't be boring all the time. Plus, you have your new friends too. It will be okay. They won't forget about you!

3. You get to find who you are, without them.

This might be one of the harder things to take in. You think you know who you are, but let's face it, you base that off of who you are WITH them. Going to a different college, you get to explore yourself and find out who you are around other people, people who don't know you...yet!

4. You get to visit new places!

One of the best parts of being on your own and in college is getting to go places whenever you want! Going to visit your BFFS at their college and getting to see what their life is all about is fun and new adventures is what college is all about, right?

5. And finally, when you do finally get to see each other, it's a BLAST.

You never run out of things to talk about with all the new things going on in each of your lives. You learn something new about each other every time, even if you thought you knew everything about each other already, but you always pick up where you left off.

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.
