Thanks for always being there

An Open Letter To My Squad

Dear Squad,

Without your friendships I do not know what my life would have been like at college. Maybe we did not know each other forever let alone all four years but it feels like we have. You guys are the ones that I know I can always come to when I need a drunken night, a nice calm dinner, a shoulder to cry on, a good laugh and a judgement free zone.

The thing that makes us great is we can handle ourselves in any situation but it is sure nice to have you guys right there incase someone gets a little overboard. You guys are the dancing queens, and drinking machines in my life and thank god for that because I can not do it all on my own. Maybe people find us annoying because we really only go out with each other. And maybe people find us clingy, but we really all just get each other.

What is also great is we are not even close to being similar. Every group needs the mom, who makes sure everyone gets home safely. If you do not want to leave with a guy she is right there to pull you away and let the guy know he is no longer needed. Every squad needs that one friend who is always getting into awkward situations and does not know how they get there ever because usually they are the drunkest one. The friend who is always up for a good time no questions asked ever. The friend who you have to kind of push to get them out but once they do they bring the party with them.

We have stories to tell, some of those stories can't go untold. Our friendships are the most valuable to me. We all look forward to spending time together even if it is a movie night with no homework.

You guys are the first people I want to tell good news to. The first people to celebrate any event at any time with and to know that I am here at any given time for you. I know that no matter what, you guys will never judge me. You accept me for me even if I come off completely rude or a little dramatic about situations. Thanks for keeping everything pretty much drama free because none of us need that in our lives.

This is me saying thanks for everything. Thanks for always including me in basically everything, even if I couldn't come. Thanks for sending me snaps on a regular basis so I could keep up with your life. Thanks for making time to skype and text and just catching up with me and caring about me. I could not have done my first round of senior year without you four and I do not know what I am going to do for my last round without any of you. But I know you guys all are going to be doing great things in life and are some of the most intelligent, driven and hard working women I know and I am proud to call you guys my best friends.

Until next time,

I love you squad.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
