Daisy,

I must have written over 50 different paragraphs before realizing that there is no way to fully encompass in words just how much you meant to everyone you knew. Reading the messages and looking at the pictures from our friends made my heart ache and miss you more than usual. However, I know that taking amoment to reflect on your time with us helps us to remember that we are not alone in how we feel. This one is for all of us- beyond just the ones in this article. To remember you in all the ways you changed our lives for the better just by knowing you.

But ultimately, this one is for you. This is a way for us to celebrate your life and your unwavering spirit that stays with us every day. Life and love are among God’s greatest blessings and we were lucky to have had living proof of this through your friendship.

It has been 365 days since we’ve seen you, but we know you’re shaking your head and laughing at us for all the ridiculous things we’ve done since then (don't hate me for trying wine in a bag this past year). God’s timing is always perfect, and you are so loved by those who feel your presence everyday. From a few of the many people who knew you- Thank you, Daisy. May you rest in peace forever.

Last week in Texas visiting you at A&M, forever in my heart beb.


Thank you for all the great memories you gave me Daisy. You always brought life and light to everyone’s lives and it was impossible not to smile when you were around. I hope you are resting in paradise you gorgeous angel. I miss you so much. -Amanda Avila


It’s been a year. It’s been a year since Daisy left, and I can still hear her laugh and picture the face she would make when I did something dumb. I miss getting junk food at drive thru’s together, taking late night trips to Walmart, and going on weekend road trips with her. It’s the little things that meant the most to me. I wish she were here to see everything that has happened this past year. So many things remind me of her and have her name written all over it... I wish she were here. -Amy Harrah


Daisy was one of the realest people I’ve ever known. She always spoke her mind, she really cared what people thought of her, and it was absolutely refreshing. Along with being incredibly honest, she had a heart of gold. She was one of the most caring people I’ve ever met and by just being herself, she taught me so much about life and relationships. Every single day, she pushed me to be a better version of myself. More importantly, she taught me how to be bold. She pushed me to take risks, to welcome the future mystery of the future, and to live every aspect of life with a burning passion. I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for the relationship I had with that wonderful girl. I miss her every day, and even though she’s gone, the kindness she showed me and the lessons she taught me are going to last me a lifetime. -Christian Quincena


It's been one year and it's true not a day has gone by you haven't crossed my mind. Thank God each and every memory we have together were nothing less than good times. This means that not a single day has gone by in the past year you haven't made me smile or laugh. Thanks for being such a light in my life from the moment we became best friends and still every day since then. -Chandler Dawson



Daisy Baez, crazy, loud, difficult, and she could also be hard headed sometimes. But what I remember most about Daisy is caring, strong, adamant, and she stood up for you. She placed others first before herself, she was self-sacrificing, giving, and also a great joy. The presence that Daisy had on people were astonishing. For me, it was family. She was such a loving and caring individual...Daisy had a kind heart, and that’s what I loved about her the most. She was one of the few people who really understood me and knew everything about me. From our times taking pictures trying to be Brian Puspos and Aja Dang, to filming a video that won nationally, to our trip to Louisville, to our game talks, to hanging around Bentwater with Christian’s family, to watching Christian and I make covers, from being my wingman, watching fast and furious, talking about Bart and Geo, and most importantly, just being a genuine person. To me, you will always be considered family, and you will always be close to my heart. I hope you are watching over me, we love and miss you Daisy. -Jeremiah Velasco


Daisy, It’s so crazy a year has gone by without you by my side. You were such a bright spirit and an amazing friend. Even though you’re physically not here anymore, I still feel your presence around me and it just makes me smile to know you’re in a happy place now. I miss all the crazy unforgettable nights, talking for hours and hours about the most random things, and just doing “fufu” stuff with you. Life really hasn’t been the same. Your life was such a blessing during and after your time here. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to survive College Station. You taught me so many valuable lessons that helped form the person I am today. Because of you, I learned to never take life for granted, appreciate the little things, and to always live life with a smile on my face, just like you did. You were such a light in my life and your spirit continues to shine on. I love you, Daisy! -Lynn Mendoza


Continue to light up the sky with your beautiful light Daisy girl. We love and miss you -Drew Glover

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.
