An Open Letter To One of My Best Friends

It's not what you think...

An Open Letter To One of My Best Friends

Dear Tacos,

I wish you were here. It’s really lonely without you, and even though I ate a burrito in my bed six hours ago (they only had hard taco shells left, and I definitely discriminate against those), it’s not the same.

We’ve had some good times in the past year, like when you finally got your own emoji (it was about damn time), and also some bad like when you gave a lot of people e-coli at Chipotle (that wasn’t cool you know, you gave yourself a bad name). I know that we’ve grown apart this semester while I’ve been abroad, since apparently Irish people are not yet acquainted with good food yet, but I just want to share with you how much you really mean to me.

You truly are one of my best friends- you’ve been there for it all. All the late nights at Tortica’s (ahem, *burrito king) after a long night at Lion. The embarrassing moment when my Netflix was on hold after my card got declined because I spent all my money on you, and I had to make a choice between you two. Every time my freshman year dining hall had hot dogs for lunch, hot dogs for dinner, and every time I ran out of easy mac. Two days ago when I almost cried after finding a Taco Bell in Iceland. You were there.

I’m in complete denial that I’m graduating next year, but all things considered, I’m convinced I couldn’t have made it through college without you. I can only hope to be as important to you, as you are to me.

I still have a picture of us from 2 years ago at Chipotle hanging on my bulletin board, to remind me of all the good times we have shared, and of your excellence. Only 12 days until we are united again, see you soon.

Love,

Caroline

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.
