An Open Letter To My Best Friend At A Different College
Ariana Hernandez

Dear Best Friend,

First of all, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being there for me always, and listening to my problems sometimes more than you’d want. Thank you for liking sushi as much as I do, and wanting to get it for lunch almost as much as me. Thank you for being the person I can do completely nothing with and still have the best time. Thank you so much for the amazing friendship we’ve shared for the past few years.

It’s so hard to keep in touch sometimes, and we both know that. Whenever you’re busy, I’m not. Whenever I’m busy, you’re not. Our schedules are always conflicting, and we rarely have a free moment at the same time. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear about the hot guy in your class that you made eye contact with for a fraction of a second or the exam that you did really well on. I want to hear about it all- the big and small things.

You’d think that going to different schools would affect our friendship in a negative way, but it hasn't, and I couldn’t be happier. Every time we see each other over breaks it's almost like we were never separated in the first place. We still make jokes that only we understand and we seem to already have a knowledge of what is going on in the other person's life.

It’s crazy how much I miss you. I’m slightly (okay, extremely) jealous of your college friends because they get to be you every single day. But being apart has made our friendship stronger. I see you making memories as I am making mine, and I am so happy that we are still best friends, despite the distance.

You don't know every detail of my life anymore, and I may not know your latest gossip. But, with summer right around the corner, I am sure our days will be filled with catching-up. Even though we don't see each other every day, I just wanted to remind you how special you are to me. I hope you have an amazing rest of the semester. You better have good stories for me, because I have plenty for you!

Love always,

Your Bestie

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.
