An Open Letter To My Christina Yang

I guess you do meet your best friends in college.

An Open Letter To My Christina Yang
Alexandra Morris

When I decided I was going to move out of state for college, like most freshman, I was extremely nervous about making friends. I did not know anyone else from my high school going to the same college as me. When I met you, my fears subsided. My mom always told me that you meet your best friends in college, and like always, she was right.

It didn't take long for us to become close. You became more than my bestfriend, in fact, you became the whole package deal. You are my best friend, my sister, my (at one point in time) roommate all in one. I know people always joke about being the two old ladies causing trouble in the retirement home, but I think that really will be us

I just wanted to take some time and thank you for everything you do for me. I know we always send each other best friend articles with the caption "this is so us", but it is hard to find one to exactly describe us. Every friendship is unique, and that is what makes it so great!

Ultimately, I thought you deserved your own personal one. Here it goes:

Thank you for listening to my countless rants.

Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on, as well as a partner in crime.

Thank you for the dance parties when we were stressed, and for sending me quotes to cheer me up.

Thank you for standing up for me at all times, even though you are much smaller, you always did seem to be my little bodyguard.

Thank you for giving me boy advice, and then comforting me when I did not follow it.

Thank you for getting me through all those crazy nights (we never did have a normal night together).

Thank you for bringing out my wild side.

Thank you for taking care of me, always. You never failed to be there when I had a rough day, or to hold my hair back when I was sick.

Most importantly, thank you for sharing my love of Pizza Hut and Coca Cola.

In all seriousness, thank you for everything. You push me to be the best I can be, and you support me in all of my good (and bad) decisions. You are an incredible person, and you deserve the world. I love that I don't even have to explain myself to you, because you just already understand. I am not sure if soulmates are even a real thing, but if they are, you would definitely be the friendship version.

Remember,

I keep you safe, and you keep me wild.

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.
