A Congratulations To My Engaged Best Friend

It has been a long road to get to this point, but it finally happened!

A Congratulations To My Engaged Best Friend

We've all heard “get the ring before spring” and some of us have witnessed it on several occasions. Engagement season is upon us and you have to admit that you’re a little excited. The reason why I'm excited is because my best friend recently got engaged and I had to keep it a secret for three weeks! If you don’t know me, I can tell you that it was probably the worst thing ever (even when compared to finals).

To My Soon To Be Married Best Friend:

You do not realize how difficult it was to keep the biggest secret ever. All of the times when we Snapchatted, called each other, and I slept on your couch — it killed me not being able to tell you that you were about to become engaged! However, it finally happened. You’re engaged! I can’t wait to help you create a beautiful wedding, even though we all know that you’ve been planning it for years. You can finally start buying the things on your Amazon registry! I think that it will actually hit me that you’re getting married when you are trying on wedding dresses.

Fair warning: I’ll probably cry like a baby.

As a reminder, don’t forget to take in every moment from now until forever or, at least, until the wedding. Don’t forget the multiple flower decisions and all of the venues. I bet that it will be hard choosing a photographer! Know that your family friends will always have your back through thick and thin. Make sure that the groom's cake tastes good because I usually only eat that one.

Your fiancé is such a blessed man to have you in his life. Even though I officially didn’t meet him until you had been dating for a while, I knew that he was the one for you. The smile on your face when you see him makes me happy because you're happy. I wouldn’t want anything less for my best friend. I see a bright future for you two and I bet that your dog is glad that his humans are finally getting married.

I can’t wait to officially start wedding planning with you and making memories that we will tell your future children. Don’t forget that I am always up for massages or pool time during those crazy days of planning. I will always be by your side for every decision and I can’t wait to stand by your side on your wedding day!

XOXO,

Your best friend

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
