College Best Friend Vs. High School Best Friend

Am I cheating on my best friend?

College Best Friend Vs. High School Best Friend
Imgnaly

College is hard. In high school, I ruled the hallways and the teachers. I was the queen of social and organized--not so much anymore. The adjustment to college has been huge, but the biggest one of all was leaving my best friend behind. I obviously told her everything and she was my go to for a movie date or a raging party, we were attached at the hip.


As someone who was friends or at least aquaintences with most of the people in my graduating class, I thought I would have no trouble making friends in college. The only problem was that I had sort of forgotten how!

So it's like the third week of school and I found a group of girls to go out with, and I really got along with a girl who is like my twin. I decided the best way to make friends was to be upfront and I straight up said, "Lets be friends". Well, that girl is now my college best friend. This my struggle: am I cheating on my high school best friend? How can I have two best friends?

I've decided that since my high school best friend goes to a different college, having two best friends is totally normal. I still call my high school best friend every week, but when I need a study buddy or someone to eat dinner with and look at Tinder matches with, my college best friend of there to support me.


They know about each other and the great thing is, that they have other best friends too! When I am locked in my room finishing a final paper, I know that they have someone they can turn to for advice. And when it's me that need help, I have not only one, but two amazing best friends to turn to!

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.
