An Open Letter To My College Friends As We Part

Dear Homies,

This farewell is about as hard as when Jack said goodbye to Rose in "Titanic." I realize that most of us have already said our goodbyes, but I can't help but confess how lonely my life is without having you two minutes away and how much I miss you all already.

Although you are just about the craziest, wildest and best people I have had the privilege to know, all of you have helped me make this first year of college the best yet. You have made me laugh day in and day out, been there for me when I need a helping hand, been able to keep me sane during finals, loved me for who I am and made every day a great one.

We have gotten so close throughout the year and I am so grateful for you and your crazy selves. Even though we have friends we are now able to reunite with from home, I can't help but say please don't forget about me!

Now I understand that almost four months apart will be a very, VERY long time not seeing my beautiful face, considering we saw each other at least once a day for the past three months. But don't worry, our Snapchat streak will be on FIRE by the time we reunite and I'll be showing up at your door regularly just like semester is still in session.

Regardless of where we are or how far apart we may be, just know that I am so excited for our reunion (even though we just said goodbye). I can't begin to explain how heartbreaking it will be when I need your help with homework, need to make some coffee, need to use your vacuum, have you help me pick out my outfit or meet me for breakfast knowing you are now so far way. I will miss our lunch, study, ice cream, gym and every other date. I mean, I know you will have other people to have dates with at home, but just know that a piece of me will be missing you when I need a date to the mall.

Although missing you is heartbreaking, the struggle becomes real when I want to tell my high school friends about all the crazy things we have done this semester. They don't understand the irony or the love behind our friendship because they don't even know you like I do! (Yes, I love to brag about you.)

The most amazing part about leaving college for the summer is knowing that our reunion will be the best thing ever. So many plans and so many laughs that we get to catch up on. No, I don't want this summer to fly by, but knowing that I get to reunite with some of the best people will make going back to school that much better.

I hope you all have a fantastic summer and don't miss me too much. Only kidding. But in all seriousness, I love you and I'll FaceTime you in a minute.

I miss you already,

Me

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.
