An Open Letter To The High School Friends Who Stayed

Friends help you back up when you trip, but best friends laugh at you and ask you to do it again for Snapchat. Best friends also request an article dedicated to them when they come home for fall break, so that’s exactly what I’m doing, as per your request. And hey, even though it was your request, I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to tell you guys how much I appreciate you than publishing it online.

You know those friendships where you don’t have to text every day, you don’t have to Snapchat or FaceTime every day, but whenever you hang out, it’s as if you just saw each other yesterday even though it’s really been months? That’s exactly the friendship my friends and I have.

Even when we all go in totally separate directions for school, we still act as though time never passed whenever we come back together. Conversations carry on without any struggle, we can still make each other laugh, and we reminisce about high school and all the stupid stuff we've ever said or done.

I can’t imagine complaining and annoying anyone about my problems other than you guys. Especially in college, it’s a time of constant stress and anxiety. Sometimes you just need someone to give you advice, or you just need someone to roast you.

You are constant supporters and remind me to laugh at myself when I’m feeling down. And I'd do the same for you guys in a heartbeat. Need advice? I'm here for you.

Need someone to make fun of you? Odds are, I'm already on it.

Who else would I go on random adventures with? Going to the beach in rainy weather, Halloween haunted houses, NYC trips, carnivals, escape rooms, trips out to Montauk and going to Friendly’s just order sodas.

Whether we're helping Natalie by being models for her photography class homework or making Sarah drive to the long distance adventures because Natalie and I can't, we always manage to have a blast. Every hangout, whether spontaneous or not, is never a dull moment. And we never seem to run out of things to do or talk about. You guys are my go-to people whenever I’m looking for an adventure or just a simple hangout.

I can always count on you guys for giving me honest advice, for the greatest laughs, and for always being there. A lot of people drift away from their high school friends once college starts, but I couldn’t be any more thankful that you two have stuck by me through it all since second grade. I couldn't imagine going through my college experience without you guys, so I truly thank you both.

Here's to many more years of you guys being stuck with 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.
