The Best Things About Having Long Distance Friends
Kelsey Higgins

Over my life I have met new people from all different walks of life, I figured out that sometimes you are able to keep friendships when you don’t live in the same place, simply if both people want to. I realized that if you put enough effort into anything it can work especially between friends. Most, if not all of my closest friends live in different cities than me, and I honestly think that is one of the reasons we have remained so close. Long distance friendships are so much better than long distance relationships because although you miss the other one, you don't spend time dwelling on the unimportant stuff, and always make time for each other.

  1. When you see each other, its so much more fun because within the weekend, week or the trip you go on you have to make up for time lost.
  2. They will listen to your stories because they’re truly interested about what has been happening in your life when you aren’t around them.
  3. Long distance friends are the type of friendships you hold on to, because even if you end up moving back to the same city, you know your friendship can withstand anything.
  4. If you fight, you get over it once you see each other, because why would you want to waste any time?
  5. You can always give your unbiased opinions on their new friends, boyfriends and anyone in their lives because you don’t know them personally so you wont hurt any feelings.
  6. Planning trips home, planning trips to visit them in their home are always exciting and something to get amped about.
  7. The second you see each other its like not time has passed.
  8. Your other friends get jealous when you refer to your long distance best friend as your best friend, but they just know what type of relationship you have
  9. No matter what people come in and out of your life, you know you’ll always have these friends, even if you don’t see each other a lot.
  10. They’re usually from your hometown, and even if it takes a long time to appreciate how important and how much of an impact these people have had on you, they’re the ones there when life gets real.

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.
