To My Best Friend Who's Going To College 5 Hours Away

The first day of 8th grade when we met, I knew we were going to be best friends and graduating from high school. The day we graduated from 8th grade, I knew we were going to a bigger school, you weren't scared, I was scared. The first day of freshman year, we were together walking into the high school we would call "our future" and "our alma mater." The last first day of senior year where we couldn't believe we were actually seniors and you were on the varsity football team and I was the senior girl who was cheering you on.

The day I got my senior pictures done you were surprised to see my senior pictures because I wasn't the nerdy, brace face tomboy 13 year old you meet in 8th grade. The day you got your senior pictures, I was surprised to see your senior pictures because you weren't the guy I met who had braces the EXACT same time I did. Me and You both grew up to be amazing young adults (even if I'm still the nerd)...

The day of prom, you were surprised that I wore a prom dress, because I was a nerdy tomboy. I was actually the nerdy tomboy who had a girly side. Thank you for not judging me wearing a prom dress even if you would be joking around with me about wearing girl stuff.

The day you committed to my rival college, I was proud of you. I knew we would always give each other a hard time because we were rivals once you went to that college 5 hours away.

The day we had our last day of high school, We couldn't believe we were actually done with high school. We were done with our high school finals and we were ready for the "real world" You were ready, I was ready we were ready to grow up and be adults and live out our lives.

Baccalaureate, I couldn't believe we were actually done with high school. You mean (and still) everything to me, you were my scapegoat, my brother, my best friend, the guy who would totally accept me being a tomboy. We hugged and cried on each other after baccalaureate.

High School Graduation, I told you we made it, you told me we both made it. You cheered me on so hard when I got my diploma (along with my family, well you're my family). I cheered you on so hard when you got your diploma. We knew we were going to graduate high school together.

We promised each other that we would visit each other when winter breaks, thanksgiving breaks, summer breaks would happen and then when we talk we talk right just where we left off. We talk about the future (how awkwardly both of our majors would be in the medical field), We talk about the next time we'll see each other, everything.

Your not just my best friend you're like my family, my brother, my scapegoat, my braces at the same time buddy. We did all of the same things together.

We did a lot together. Had braces at the same time. Had the embarrassing moments together. We stick together through stuff. Like the song You've got a friend in me You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and can see it through 'Cause you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me.

You always have a friend in me.

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.
