An Open Letter To My Weirdest Friend

I seriously love you so much.

An Open Letter To My Weirdest Friend
Sabrina Maxwell

Dear Weirdest Friend,

First of all, please know that I love you; I'm not writing this to mock you but to let you know how much I value you and your individuality. Being around you is always fun, and it's always an adventure. You never fail to make me laugh or smile. On my worst days when school, boys and stress are all getting to me, you can come in and do your demon walk and have me laughing so hard my sides hurt in five seconds flat.

What's more is that you're always optimistic. When things are not going so well, you're optimism and sun-shiny attitude help liven me up to go take on the world. I mean sure, sometimes your humor can get a little dark, but there's always that glimmer of hope that makes everything better.

Your weirdness brings out my weirdness. That's probably one of my favorite things about you. You're so you and so completely focused on living your own life and being the best version of you that you don't really pay attention to what others are doing. Seeing and hearing someone be unapologetically themselves inspires me to do the same. Whether it's not showering before a football game, or staying up late to watch "Shrek the Musical," you march to the beat of your own drum.

Coming to college and being thrust into a new environment (especially one that's far from home) can intimidate anyone, but you made plans to take over the school, find a husband and get married all in a few weeks time. Your drive and ambitions help make me unafraid to dream big, to take everything in stride and just keep moving forward.

So, my Weirdest Friend, you are unconventional and sometimes a bit all over the place, but you're you and you're human and perfect. So you continue to be a star and take the world by storm, I may not always be right beside you (I'm not quite as glamurous as you), but I'll for sure be in the audience cheering you on.

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

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.
