A Letter To "Swagmail from EmmaD"

I just want you to know that I love you so much and your friendship means more to me than I can even describe. We have known each other for nine years now and you became my best friend from one of the first moments that we met. You have been there through all the ups and the downs, the super late nights, and really early mornings. You let me shop through your closet when I needed something to complete my outfit. We jammed out to music together, especially One Direction, and we went to concerts together. Truly, you were always there, and girl, I cannot thank you enough.

I remember when we agreed to tell each other which colleges we were going to our senior year of high school, and I also remember how excited we were that we happened to decide to go to the same college. We made so many plans together. We were going to go to every football and men's basketball game together, hammock, and workout together. Eat every meal that we could, text and call each other all of the time. We were going to do everything together like we did in high school just in college, and yet, our relationship could not be more different now.

We barely talk. You send me a picture on Snapchat everyday just to keep our streak alive. We don't hammock or go out to dinner anymore, heck I feel like I am lucky if I see you on campus once a month, but I want to let you know that I still think about you all the time and I hope that you are okay. A One Direction song will come on every once in a while, and it immediately brings me back to their concert that we went to, or that one time you tripped in my basement and completely wiped out from dancing around too hard.

I would be lying if I didn't say that it has been hard knowing our friendship is not the same. It is hard not seeing you every day or feeling like I could talk to you because I know that you would always answer. It is especially hard knowing that we are from the same town but mostly live in the same city. We go to the same college, and yet, it is like we barely know each other now. It is hard for me to comprehend what happened and how we got here, and maybe the answer is just that we simply became busy.

I know that I am graduating a year early, and therefore, we are going to lose a year of going to school together, but I just want to let you know that no matter where we both end up, I am always going to love you like my adopted sister, and you are always going to be one of my best friends. No matter what time of the day it is, I will be here. If you want to shop through my closet, you can always help yourself. If you want to jam out to some more music or put on some old One Direction jams, I will clear my schedule. As hard as it is to accept and realized that our friendship has changed, I am excited to see what our future holds because I know that true friendship never really ends.

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.
