She May Be 500 Miles Away, But She's Still My Best Friend

She's family, no matter the distance.

She May Be 500 Miles Away, But She's Still My Best Friend
Constance Woodard

We have been best friends since the hideous years of middle school, the rivalries of high school, and just the drama involved with being a girl. And even after it all, she's still got my back no matter. So, of course, we would still be friends even through the distance of college.

We may be 500 miles apart, but my best friend is still my best friend.

Leaving home and going to college is hard. And leaving behind so many people that mean so much to you doesn't make it any easier. But the great thing about it is that you are able to find out who your true friends are no matter the distance.

We don’t have the friendship of talking continuously every single day and that’s perfectly OK.

Because we have that sense of family that no matter what time of day or what is going on in either of our lives if one of us needs each other we are there for each other. Even if we can’t be physically there.

She has always been the one there to help me get out of my comfort zone. And I have been there for her when everything is falling apart and all she wants is a chicken plate from Zaxby’s with extra ranch!

Even though we are so connected, doesn't mean that I don't still miss her, because heaven knows there have been many moments when I want to drive and visit her.

But she's still there to remind me why I came to college and to not allow anyone to get to me!

We understand each other so well, that no matter how far apart we are it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change who we are or what we’ve been through together and that’s one of the glories of college.

We both know that we have each other to lean on. Whether that’s through the stress of finals or even just drunk Facetime calls, she still listens to it all.

She may be at a different college and may even be almost 500 miles away, nothing has changed. She’s still my amazing best friend and will still be my maid-of-honor at my wedding!

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.
