1,000 miles can't separate us.

To My Best Friend As I Leave For College
McKenzie Brouk

Dear BFF,

Never did I think that this day would actually come, and that in less than two weeks I will be over 1,000 miles away from you, my best friend. I feel so lucky to have met someone like you. You're one of the kindest, most hard working, and caring people I have ever met, and I'm honored to call you my best friend. At the beginning of summer it seemed as we had so much time with each other, but in reality time passed so quickly. I'm sitting here writing this article in tears because I can't even begin to imagine the thought of not seeing you everyday at the rink, or be able to pick up my phone to text you to hang out whenever we want. I'm writing this to say thank you for being you, and for being the best friend I ever had.

Thank you for always being there for me countless times for whatever the reason was I could always count on you to be right there next to me. Times where I was sad over stupid boys, family reasons, school, or basically anything else you always knew the right words to say or how to cheer me up. You're the first person I text in a time of crisis or when I have something super exciting to tell. Thank you for loving me for who I am, and never questioning our friendship. I find it crazy that we have never gotten in one fight or argument, but then I think that just shows how strong our friendship is.

I'll never forget our countless memories, and I absolutely cannot wait to create new ones. Remember when we made homemade pizza that we doubled the ingredients on, and it ended up overflowing? Yeah that was pretty awful. Let's just say baking is not our strong suit although I think were getting better. We have been on so many trips together like California, Disney World, Wisconsin, Chicago where we created memories that will last a lifetime. I never get tired of hanging out with you because there is always a new adventure. I love that I can look at you with one look and we can know exactly what the other is thinking.

I am going to miss you so so much, but promise me that you will come visit me all the way up in Michigan. I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see all the things you accomplish this year! Thank you for being my bridesmaids enthusiast, incredibly talented, and caring best friend.

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.
