An Open Letter To My Best Friend

I can honestly say that I have never had a friend in my life who means as much to me as you. I have to thank our sorority for bringing us together but also our sheer love for so many things that we have in common. In high school, I had those people who I considered my best friends and at the time I truly thought that they were. But, after having met you and having the friendship I have with you today, I realize how trivial they were. I’ve been through a lot since being at college and through it all you have stuck beside me. Whenever I fell down because I couldn’t handle all that was going on in my life, I knew that you were always someone who would be there to pick me back up.

Last semester in particular was one of the hardest semesters I’ve had in college so far. Still recovering mentally from some of the hardships I was faced with the previous year and some fresh new wounds that needed healing, you were always there. Whether it was just someone to talk to or someone to do something stupid with, I could count on you no matter the circumstance. It’s not easy dealing with stress, breakups, family matters, and the never-ending list of things that we as college students face but having that one person you know will be there for you until the end is something that should never be taken for granted.

The one thing I am struggling with the most with right now when it comes to you is that I am graduating and you still have one more year. So you may wonder why would that be hard? It’s hard because I don’t know where I will be next year and there is a chance it won’t be close by to you. But I know that even if we are far apart, the depth and vitality of our friendship won’t suffer, for all we know it might be even stronger. My friendship with you is one of my biggest priorities and I can promise you that I will never do anything to jeopardize that because you are more than just a friend. You are my absolute best friend. You are my sister. You are my partner in crime. My number one flailing partner at concerts. You are my long car ride companion because for some reason if you put the two of us in a car for a 10-hour long drive we can have the best time and make it into an adventure.

Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I know sometimes I can be the worst and sometimes we want to choke each other but just know I only want what’s best for you just like I know you only want what’s best for me and to see me happy. When you’re happy, I’m happy (as gross and cheesy as that may sound. You have showed me what true friendship means and I can’t thank you enough for being who you are and showering me with love everyday. I love you more than words can describe.

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.
