To My Best Friend As We Start Our New Adventures In College
Abigail Shipley

After years of wishing we were done with school, the time has finally come. We're moving on in our lives and going our separate ways. As much as I wish we were continuing on at the same school, I know you'll do great things where you are and you're only a state away. This letter is basically everything I wanted to say to you when we said goodbye, but knew I couldn't or else I'd definitely turn into a puddle of tears.

Yes, this is about you.

Thank you for sticking by my side through everything over the past 15 years. Even if we don't see each other as much as we did before, I know that you'll always be there for me. Most importantly, thank you for never forgetting about me. I appreciate that more than you could ever know. While we have both been busy in our own lives, dealing with the stresses of work and school and a thousand other things, I have always been able to count on you to lessen the stress. A Snapchat or a remark about cow tipping is all it takes to put a smile on my face.

Your personality is one of a kind and I hope you're making new friends at school that love your laugh and quirks as much as I do. The funny thing is somehow your name always manages to pop up in conversations whether I'm relating a funny story back to you or someone asks about a friend back home. I'm still searching, but I know I won't be able to find anyone quite like you on campus.

People always say that you lose a lot of your high school friends once you go to college, but I know that I won't lose you. You've been by my side for too long and nothing can damage our friendship. Sure I'm going to miss our camping trips, pool parties, sleepovers, and breakfast dates, but I can't wait to see where we end up in our futures. Not many people can say that their elementary best friend still holds that title years later as they move to college, yet somehow I'm lucky enough to be able to do so. Thank you for being the greatest friend a girl could ever ask for and for supporting me in everything I do. First Watch date when we come home for break?

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.
