An Open Letter To The Friends I Met In College

Dear College Friends,

Living on the other side of the country from all of you is the worst thing to ever happen to me. Whenever I'm bored I want to text one of you and ask what you're doing so we can hangout, but then I remember I can't. I constantly tell all my at home friends about how you guys are the best, but it's hard for them to fully grasp just how great our friendship is. One thing is for sure, without you guys my first year of college would not have been the same.

I remember the only thing that I was nervous for for college was if I would be able to make friends. What if I ended up living for four years on a campus with people that I really didn't get along with? Seeing that I was 3,000 miles away with no possibility to escape that thought was pretty much my literal nightmare. However, as soon as I met all of you I was able to throw those fears out the window. Finding you guys made my freshman year incredible. From all of our wild nights out that ended up with homemade nachos or wild quests to find mozzarella sticks, to sitting next to each other while we Netflix different shows and everything in between, some of my most memorable moments have been spent with you guys.

Even during times that weren't supposed to be fun we still managed to have it. You are my go to people to procrastinate in a study room with right before finals. You're also my go to people if I'm having a crisis or just need to vent. School may be hard, tests may suck, boys may be annoying, girls may be catty, drama may happen, but we can always talk about it over bagels, laugh about it, and move on with our awesome lives.

So I want to thank you for the best college experience. We all spent our first year of freedom together. Together we are going to discover who we are and what we want to be for the rest of our lives. The thought of that is terrifying, but I'm glad I found genuine people to go on that journey with. I'm glad that it's you guys who are going to be there for all of my highs and lows because I trust you all. I am looking forward to the upcoming years and shenanigans that we are going to get ourselves into because college just wouldn't be the same without it. I'll be seeing you guys soon.

p.s. Remember when you guys dressed me up in a wig to try to sneak me into a party that I wasn't allowed to be at just because you didn't want to leave me behind. That's the definition of ride or die.

p.p.s. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes when it was a long weekend and I had nowhere else to go. Please go on a road trip to visit me so I can return the favor.

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.
