An open letter to my bestfriend

Dear Bestfriend,

We met freshman year, I asked you for a piece of gum in health and you wouldn't stop talking and I'm so thankful that you didn't. We made it through biology together switching seats with people to make sure we always sat together even if our teacher purposely separated us so we would stop talking all period.

Sophomore year we had no classes and didn't talk quite as much but I could always count on you to be there if I ever needed you to be. Whether it be with homework or just to simple have you call me to listen to me rant for hours about the boy I was dating who was slowly breaking my heart. And you could do the same. But school always has taken the best side of you which wasn't a bad thing but we fell off and didn't talk as often by the middle of the year. We both knew we were still there and loved each other no matter what. That's just what bestfriends do.

Junior year the most painful and stressful year of both of our lives. From boys to the ACT. It was a hell of a year to say the least. The boy I was dating took over my life and I forgot about you and I am still so sorry about that. But thank you for being there when it ended and I was an absolute mess. Thank you for still loving me after I told you everything I stayed through and didn't tell you about when it happened. I love you so much for that. And I'm still sorry for not being there when you needed me. But there was so many memories I will never forget. Especially being there with you while getting ready for prom although I decided not to go. You looked absolutely stunning. Junior year was definitely the peak of our unbreakable friendship. We learned more about each other in that year than we did years past and although it was a crap year I wouldn't change it in a million years.

Summer going into Senior year. We were inseparable. We spent every waking moment together and it still wasn't enough time spent together. And when we weren't together I missed you the second you dropped me off at home. Even though my real home was yours. That summer your family turned into my second family and I love them just as much as I love you. Thank you for experiencing our first Lollapalooza together and fighting through the crowd and standing for an hour just waiting to see J Cole perform although it turned out to be not all it was cracked up to be. I'm still sorry we stayed longer than expected at G Eazy and missed the one person you truly wanted to see, Somo. I promise we will go see him in concert one day. Thank you for being there for me that summer when new boys came into my life- when they made me sad and you were there to remind me who I was or when I met that one boy who made me the happiest I was in a while. You told me to let my guard down but I know you kept yours up and continued to look out for me. Most of all thank you for the over all best summer of my high school experience. I wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way with anyone besides you.

We are coming to the end of our first semester of senior year. We are half way to graduation and the best summer of our lives. Lollapalooza, boat days, Country Thunder, and plain ole days hanging out besides your pool. But all I can seem to think about is how although I can't wait for all these things with you at the end of the summer I will have to say goodbye to you. I have decided on U of Alabama and you are in between schools. I am so proud of you and I know whatever school you decide on is going to be the best but I cant help being sad that you aren't gonna be beside me for our first year of college. We have always been less than a 10 minute drive from each other, I don't know how I'm gonna survive with it being 10 hours and 51 minutes in short few months. You have always told me "Cutie no one will replace you" and babe I know you mean that with every bone in your body but its a hard transition I won't be ready for. Just know no matter what and who I meet you will Forever and Always be my sister, soul mate, partner in crime, bestfriend.

Sincerely, Your Bestfriend

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.
