Dear Senior reading this. Can you believe it's the end of your senior year already? Senior year really does fly by doesn't it? This is your last summer before you all go away to college. Right about now I'm sure the tears have happened on your last day of school and your group of friends has made a pact to never split up. But listen to me when I say make this summer the best summer you've had so far and make the most incredible memories.

Go out with them every chance you get. Even if you think you don't want to go out, trust me, go out. You will regret the nights you wanted to stay in when you all go to different schools. Sometimes you have the best times when you least expect it.

Stay out as late as you can. I've found the best memories are made late at night. Drive with the windows down, blast music, sing with your friends. Just enjoy the simple things like this late at night. I promise you won't regret it.

Take lots and lots of pictures and Snapchats. You will find yourself looking back at these more than you think. Each picture will also remind you of all the memories associated with it. I'm not saying be on your phone the whole night or record EVERYTHING. But, record and photograph a good amount. This pictures will mean so much to you later.

Have as many sleepovers as you can. Sleepovers with your best friends are truly irreplaceable and you will miss them when you go to different places. Trust me, you don't know how much you will miss them until the school year starts and you can no longer call and ask if they want to sleep over.

Moral of the story is, spend as much time as you can with your best friends and make the best memories. You're going to miss the comfort of having them so close.

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.
