An Open Letter To My High School Best Friends

Seriously, nothing has changed.

An Open Letter To My High School Best Friends

Dear Best Friends,

Congrats! We have officially completed our first semester in college. In this short time, we have been away from home, we have grown so much. We each have found our own friend groups and have probably already had unforgettable memories with other people. Parties, boys, school, coffee drinking: we have done it all without each other this past semester.

We have all experienced something new and different and have started our own independent journey through life. Although many things have probably changed, one thing has not, and that's my love for each one of you. Even though we're all in different places doing our own thing and finding ourselves, I still find myself thinking about all the good times we have had in the past.

All the late nights, laughs, dinners, study dates are missed, and most of all your company. Going through those middle school awkward stages, puberty and even pointless high school drama can do a whole lot to connect people, through thick and thin we have been together through it all, so why should that stop now?

Even though things have changed, the bond and relationship I have with you guys never will. Looking at the great scheme of things, high school seems like such a small part of life but in no way were you a small part of my life. Every single one of you has an everlasting imprint on my heart and it has practically turned me into the person I am today.

So I'm dedicating this letter to you guys (yes, you know who you are) as a thank you for everything all the memories, the laughs, the jokes, and even the endless food binging parties. I can with a full and loving heart say that no matter how far we each may go and no matter what different direction life will take us in I will always be by your side. With anything and everything that life throws at you know that you can always count on me to support you every step of the way and nothing will change that.

Thank you so much for being an amazing you and I hope you are showing life who is boss.

I love you,

Your High school Best Friend

"Friendship is... secretly giving people nicknames so only we know who we're talking about. No need for explanation always knowing what the other is thinking. Comfortable silence, long phone calls about nothing, annoying each other and thoroughly enjoying it being each others' therapists, sharing every little detail about every little thing, The ability to talk total nonsense and have that nonsense respected! Not being able to wait to tell each other stuff ... Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing and laughing forgiving each other no matter what! Conversations impossible for others to understand! A reassuring presence, a whole conversation with just one look and never getting bored with each other."

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.
