Many say you will met your forever friends in college, and now I completely agree.

Though I do still have long friendships from high school, being in college has given me more friends than I would ever have thought was possible. There are many things these girls have taught me.

1. It's always better to laugh than to judge

Whether they something so random you worry about their sanity or just sends you a snapchat expressing their hatred for someone it should put them in a mental institution.

2. It's ok if you don't know your next step

If you don't have a clue on what you're going to do next, best bet is that they don't either. You will always have someone to take all your steps with.

3. Never doubt that you are anything less than amazing

The squad will always love the person you are and will fight for you if you are thinking or talked about anything less than amazing.

4. They make the best memories

Whether it's the car jam sessions or the library study sessions of doing nothing; they will be there for them all.

5. You will LOSE money

Going out to eat because there is nothing in the apartment and we all are too lazy to cook or just want to have a fancy meal with your girls; you are bound to throw down some major bucks.

6. You won't have to hide your true self

More than likely they have seen all sides of your personality and wonder some days why you are friends but then realize they are the same way.

7. The group will always be loud

At weddings, graduations, daily tasks, car jams, or just hanging out in the apartment watching Grey's Anatomy; you and your girls will always be loud.

8. Your background won't matter to them

From different schools, living on a farm, having different majors; any of your backgrounds won't matter as long as they love you.

9. They will always be there for you

From dumb boys, hard teachers, mad bosses, or the random roommate isn't picking up; your girls will be there through it all.

10. Your parents will treat them like their own daughters

Either the sleepovers or just going to lunch with all of you and your squad, your family will treat them just like they do you.

11. Vent sessions become a weekly task

Usually the vent sessions call for wine, bad music, terrible hair, and jumping/screaming; they will listen through it all.

12. They will be your biggest supporters

From getting the big girl job or to finally getting that cute boy to ask you out, the squad will always support you.

As you grow up the girls that stayed with you through all of your good, bad, weird, and unknown stages in life will be there forever. I am so grateful to the friends I meet at school who became my sisters in such a short period of time.

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.
