Dear College Friends

Man, what would I do without my crew.

Dear College Friends
Sierra Zinke

College Friends,

It is super weird to think that I am graduating this spring (literally seven months away what???) and more so that we have been friends for two full years (hopefully for many more too). I am writing you this letter because I there is so much to say and so little words to say it all especially being the only true senior.

You all have another year together to laugh, have fun and go to hockey games. And I know that I spend a lot of my time working and sometimes miss the fun but am so grateful to always have you there to make my smile.

When thinking about how we all met it is kind of ironic how a simple dating app can bring two people together, they become incredibly close and then you have a whole new group of friends. Those friends became my life home away from home. I know that's true for all of us (being that we all go to school in Maine and none of us are from Maine).

Thank you.

For the endless boats of support, through everything as small as academics, to as large as my car accident and even graduate school. Always telling me that everything is going to be okay and we will get through it. Always having my back when I need it.

Thank you.

For making me laugh when I want to cry. For forcing me to go have fun instead of sitting in my room and sulk or pretend to do homework. For going to the gym with me and making me feel better about myself. For making everything into dumb, fun little competitions for bragging rights and high fives.

Thank you.

Now senior year is approaching and it is both super exciting but also super sad knowing that I am graduating and moving (probs across the country - help.) and won't be around much to see you guys flourish and do amazing things in your final year(s) at Maine. Who is going to watch hockey or baseball with me? Who is going to make fun of me? Or give me the reality check I need every once in a while?

Everything is changing pretty drastically but we have seven months and you better know we are going to push those seven months as far as possible. But also know that no matter how far away I am - even though Oregon is really freaking far - I will always have your backs and am always just a phone call or facetime away.

Love you all lots, and thanks for making Maine home.

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.
