Throughout my first year of college I have learned some major life lessons from people who I thought were my friends.

I had heard so many stories of people meeting their best friends in the first year of college, for me I hoped I was one of those people. Yet as time went on in the first semester we started to see the true colors of each other and had to forget the friendship ever existed. Finally though my first year went by and I finished, but this year I started off the same way; fake friends I thought I knew for years. Although I have lost some major people in my life I have learned some lessons that each of the lost friends have taught me.

1. It doesn't matter how long you've known them

People are so unpredictable. Tip I've learned is have at least one friend that has been something major with you; they're less likely to leave you as quickly

2. They will act like your "BESTIES" before you enemies

Always have someone to hear you vent about them that you know will never get back to the "fake" friends. AKA mom, dad,aunt,uncle,grandma,grandpa

3. You WILL second guess yourself for leaving them behind, but DONT

Never let all the negative energy keep tearing you down time after time. Leave the past behind you.

4. They will make you out to be the bad guy.

On social media, to common friends, hometown gossips; but ignore all the talk. Because all that matters is the people left standing in your corner

5. It will take awhile for you to get your life back to normal

Be Patience, let life flow the way its gonna and jump on for the ride, cause you never know where it will take you.

After you have left those unbelievably fake people, you will never feel better. Soon you will notice new and exciting people that you think would be good for you, and your right they are and will be; just let time do it's thing first.

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.
