I couldn't put it all in words, so I hope this is enough...

An Open Letter To My Friends Who Graduated This Semester

To my friends who graduated this semester:

I wanted to take the time to thank you. To thank you for the all the memories we created together, the simple hellos in passing and the late nights we stayed up talking. For the 3 am food runs, where we just couldn't stop laughing because of something one of us had said and the inside jokes we share and people might think we were crazy for. I wanted to thank you for all these things and there are just too many words to express it. I wanted you to know I appreciate everything you have ever done for me and am beyond grateful to have you in my life. I can only be happy for you as you move on to the next stage of your life, but I'm also sad you're leaving me behind. But don't worry I know it is not any fault of yours. It is wrong of me to be so selfish to want you to stay, for a shoulder to cry on, for my pal during fast food runs, for everything. It is also selfish of me to think you don't want all these things too.

Although you are moving on, I know this is not the end, or at least we say it won't be. For some of us we grow up and grow apart and that's okay too, I will always remember you with a smile and laugh at the dumb things we managed to do. For the rest of us we'll sit at a table and talk about the memories we had together five years from now, and may even make more along the way. Saying good-bye is one of the hardest things to do especially when no one can predict the future. It's kind of like the day we met, we had no idea the friendship that would blossom and the many road it would take us down together. But this, this is where our journey together ends.

I'll still carry your memory with me everywhere I go. That new kid that lives in your room will never replace you, the kitchen will be a little more lonely when I bake cookies to kick the study blues, and no one gives hugs quite the way you do. It sucks that you're gone, but soon I'll be gone too. And it's not that I didn't appreciate you while you we're here because I did, but you really don't know what you have til it is gone. But I can only hope I leave an impact on the people around me, like you left on me.

So I hope you're far off somewhere reading this and thinking of me, because I'm thinking of you too. I hope your life as a 'real adult' is going to go fantastically because you deserve all that and more. I hope happiness finds you because we all deserve it, and that you live your life to the fullest each day. I hope to see you soon.

Best wishes, good vibes, and all my love.

Congratulations you made it.

Love, 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.
