What Is A Best Friend?
Hayley Broich

"A best friend is like a four-leaf clover- lucky to have and hard to find."

Going through life without a best friend would be a miserable time. Best friends are the one's who know you better than you know yourself, who get you through the worst of times, and who celebrate the best of times. A best friend stays true to you and has your back no matter what.

A best friend is always there for you. Whether it's two in the morning and you're crying hysterically, or it's two in the afternoon and you need a coffee date. A best friend is always available to make time for you because you matter.

A best friend doesn't need to talk to you constantly to stay a best friend. Best friends are able to stay close in heart, no matter how far the distance. You may not even talk every day, but things are always the same when you pick back up.

A best friend is someone you tell all of your feelings to. All of them. A best friend will listen to you, and relate. If you're feeling happy, they're happy too. If you're down and having a bad day, they feel down too. Best friends empathize and feed off of each other. Your feelings become one.

A best friend is someone you share all of your personal details with. They know about all of your crushes, the ins and outs of your bodily functions, and how many days it's been since you've washed your hair. You're stuck with each other, because you know all your secrets, and they know yours.

A best friend is actually someone you share everything with. Not just the personal life. You share food, clothes, shoes, etc. Friends buy you a lunch; best friends eat your lunch. You name it, you share it. What's yours is theirs, and theirs is yours. You'll get used to wondering where something is, and then realizing they have it.

A best friend will always tell you what's on their mind. It will be the truth 100 percent of the time. There is little to no filter because they want the best for you. After all, you've been through, they do know what's best for you. They want you to be happy, and hopefully save you some embarrassment later on, so they'll stop you before you go out in the completely wrong outfit, or before you date the wrong guy. Remember- no filter. Be prepared.

A best friend can make you smile and laugh in the worst of times. No matter how poorly you did on that test, how badly you just messed up, or who hurt you, a best friend will cheer you up. They always know just the right thing to say, without saying too much or too little, and will always brighten the mood. Whether it's just a funny joke, or movies, ice cream, and tears in bed, they know how to help.

A best friend becomes an honorary member of your family. They know your garage code, walk right into your house, and live there for days. You're like sisters, (or brothers) in a different way than you could ever be with a blood sibling. A best friend is for life.

A best friend is someone you may never have expected to be in your life, but now you can't imagine your life without them. A best friend will change your life in all the right ways, wondering how you lived before you met them. A best friend is everything.

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.
