A Letter to My High School Best Friends

Hey Guys, I Miss You A Lot.

A Letter to My High School Best Friends
Jamie Lenko

Hey guys,

Here we are, almost through our first year of college and looking back this past year has taken us on quite a roller coaster ride. I've been looking through old pictures a lot lately and I miss all the memories we've made. High school seemed tough at first, but with the right group of friends it turned out amazing. We went through it all together; boyfriends, classes, birthdays, holidays, float buildings, homecomings, football games, Sakura runs, proms, seniors trips, right up to graduation day. You could never find one of us without another.

I know a lot has happened in the past year. We each went our separate ways. We went from seeing each other every day of the week, to not at all. Then college happened. We went our separate ways. I'm sorry we don't see each other as often as I wish we could. They say life works in funny ways and we kinda just grew apart. But I guess that's a fact of life.

But theres a few things I want you guys to know. First, Thank You. Thank you for all the amazing memories we made in high school, especially senior year. I truly don't think I would have made it through senior year without such an amazing group of friends like you. So again, thank you for all the memories. Secondly, I'm proud, proud of each of you. Although we went to different schools, we did what would be best for each of us. I'm proud of everything we've each accomplished over our first semesters of college and I'll be proud of everything else we accomplish in the next three years.

I understand we may never be able to get the same friendship back that we once had. Because inevitably we have each changed, grown, and learned a lot through these first two semesters of college. Whatever the reason I truly believe it all happens for a reason. We grew apart so we could be given different opportunities to learn and grow and who knows, maybe it was for the best. No matter what I'll always be around if you ever need me, promise.

Just thought I should pay my respects to the good old days.

Dedicated to my high school friend group. You guys know who you are. xx

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.
