An Open Letter To My Cronkite Friends

Dear Cronkite friends,

I miss all of you guys. The last time I saw all of your faces was last year in April or few days ago. Today, I want to send a message to all of you guys and express my feelings towards y'all. I hope you guys are doing very well in Downtown Phoenix (Well most of y'all) and can't wait to see you guys soon! So here I go:

The first time I met all of you guys was either at the Arcade party on the first day of moving in, floor 12, floor 14, at the pool, or going to a party in Tempe during our Freshman year. I remember we will get in trouble by the CA's, because we will be so loud in the lounge. Sometimes, I wanted to punch some of you guys, because you guys will get off my nerves, including Victor. Anyway, I love how you guys will make fun of my big butt when we're in the lounge or making a joke about eating booty like a Philly cheesesteak. That was funny. I'm so proud of what you guys are doing in Cronkite right now, I'm very proud of you guys. Here's a quote that I want to share with everyone and here it is:

"we're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." - Orson Welles

I want to thank Keegan, Jackson, my future roommate Christian, Alec, Joel, Eliav, Chancellor or Chance, Epley, Sammee, Millman, Gaines, Daniel, Bailey, Delia, Luna, Mikey D., Zach P , Austin, Golan, Misha, Joe or Killian, Juan, Jozy, Brad, Richard, Nathan, Rachel, Isaiah, Casey (even though she is in France), Haley (Now a Cougar, booooo!!!), Yaz, Sav, Austin, Austen, Katie Pippen, Karam, Shane, Kling and Jacob for being there for me, especially Jackson, Christian, Sammee, Eliav, and Alec.

Let's start with Jackson:

Last year in February or March, you recommended "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" to me and I started reading it in October and finished it in March, because I was busy. I'm not going to lie, but the book changed my life and views. Thank you for your recommendation and if you didn't recommend it to me, I would've been the same person from last year. You're the real one!

P.S., I want to talk about the book when I see you soon.

Christian (my future roommate)

First, I want to say thank you for having my back, especially last year when I got kicked out of TP, because of money issue and I don't know where to go. You and Jack were trying your hardest to take me back to TP, but it didn't work well. However, I'm allowed to be in TP now! Again, thank you for having my back and I can't wait to live with you next year.

Sammee

Thank you for letting me stay at Evan's dorm room last year. If it wasn't for your help, I don't know where I would stay. I appreciate it!

Eliav

My (bleep)! Thank you for always having my back and giving me tips on life. Also, few weeks ago, I watched your YouTube video called "Failed To Succeed", and I got motivated by the words you said in your video. I was about to share it in here, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. I think you deleted it. Anyway, you're my man and I can't wait to see you soon!

Alec

I want to say thank you for always being there for me, especially last year. I don't know what I would do, if it wasn't for your help.

And for the rest of you guys, I'll see y'all soon and hope y'all have a great day!

Love, Henry Lyon

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
