Best Friends > Boyfriends

Winter term, A.K.A. cuddle season, is here. If you've found yourself suffering from single girl syndrome, remind yourself why spending time with your best friend beats being wifed up during this cold-weather season. 

Endless dance parties. Dancing to the High School Musical soundtrack with your best friend has proved to be an effective form of exercise. Nothing is quite as therapeutic as non-filtered dance moves with your best friend (which may or may not include sliding down the hallway in socks, risky business style). Needless to say, no boy will appreciate your embarrassing moves as much as your BFF. 


Netflix marathons.  Sometimes a girl just needs to shut the world out via Netflix. Your best friend is the perfect person to snuggle up with while binge watching your favorite show. Plus, you'll have someone to freak out with when you finish Orange is the New Black, and have to wait until summer for the new season. Cuddling with boys is so overrated. 


Midnight snacking. Your best friend is the perfect companion for late night binge eating. Whether it's grabbing DQ after a long day of recruitment or fulfilling a mac and cheese craving at two in the morning, you can count on your best friend to join. You don't even need to worry about being judged for finishing a large Blizzard in five minutes. 


Vent sessions. When you need to let out all your emotions, your BFF is all ears. Your best friend has become an expert at giving you advice for any situation. She knows when to quietly listen, when to agree with you, and when to give you a reality check. If you've had a bad day, grab a carton of Ben & Jerry's, two spoons, and your 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.
