7 Best Things About Having A Long Distance Best Friend
Rebecca Wood

Coming to college, you end up meeting endless friends and hopefully a few really good friends. But nothing beats seeing your best friend from home, who has literally seen you from your awkward stage into your glow-up stage. I think it's best for all of us to acknowledge some of the greatest things about them.

1. You have more of a reason to go home

No doubt, the moment you go home you hop in the car to pick up your best friend. Not a moment can be wasted because you know you are in for a long night of laughing, crying and just talking.

2. You have a non-biased opinion

When you need life advice about drama or a boy, your friend is right there to share her view on it. Yet they always ends with "but regardless, I support whatever decision you make", even if they doesn't agree.

3. Visiting your favorite places when at home together is even more fun than before

You had those places you spent nights hanging out with friends, talking until 2am or just driving around. These places are even more fun to visit now because they just give you the feels again.

4. They are always honest with you

*sends a pic of text conversation*

"Am I being psycho?"

"Yea kinda but like I would have said the same thing"

5. You get excited about the other person's life events

Okay "life events" as in I met a boy last night who could be a potential husband. You both freak out and want to know every detail of the night. Then this crush is over in approximately 48 hours.

6. You can call without warning

And at any time.

7. Through it all, you know they are always there for you

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.
