An Open Letter To My High School Girl Friends

How lucky am I to have found a group of girls that make saying goodbye so hard.

An Open Letter To My High School Girl Friends
Maggie Mae Sheehan

This letter may sound cliché and oversaid, but I mean every word of it. I honestly do not know where I would be without you girls. You brought me years of laughter and memories, and made living in Floral Park that much better. You have all been my support when I needed it, and managed to put a smile on my face with just one gesture.

When I think of home, I think of all of you. Every memory we have made will forever hold a special place in my heart. People can try and say they have a bond closer than ours, but that just isn’t true. Not many people can say they have a group chat with eleven of their friends and talk it in every second of every day. Being over 600 miles away from all of you has only made me realize more how much you all mean to me. When I think back to high school, I think back to all of our crazy adventures. From going to random towns to meet each others roommates, or going into Manhattan just to leave an hour later to make it back to a party, every second was worth it. You all hold such amazing qualities, and I am so proud to call all of you my best friends everyday. I never thought I would find a group of girls that could make me feel so complete. Whenever I am with you guys, I can be myself and not be ashamed or embarrassed of anything. I can turn to you girls for just about anything and know that you guys will make everything better. I can call any of you at any hour of the day and know that you will pick up in a heartbeat. Every minute shared with you all will forever be cherished. These next four years are going to fly by and before we know it we will all be right back in Floral Park together. Although we may be hundreds of miles apart, I truly am just one phone call away.

And If you are reading this and happen to come across one of these girls, please know this; you truly are the luckiest people in the world. I have never met a group of girls more loving and crazy than mine. Treat them like gold, be there for them always, and enjoy every second you have with them. It is rare to find people in this world that can make such a difference in your life, so when you find people that do, hold onto them forever.

I hope you all have the times of your lives these next four years. Stay true to yourselves and know that you have an amazing group of friends that will always love you for you. This wasn’t goodbye, just a see you later. Just know I’m counting down the days until I am reunited with all of you again. Have fun my crazy friends, love you all always.

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.
