Dear High School

You were wonderful and amazing but it's over.

Dear High School
Annette Blanchard

Dear High School,

I am not even going to lie, you were pretty great. I have never loved and hated a place as much as I loved and hated you. For four years you were my world, you were my entire graduate class' world. We showed up at your door five days a week and came back constantly for practices, meetings, and games.

I made friends that will last a lifetime during high school, I also lost a few I hoped would be there forever. That was the beauty of high school, we grew up. We walked through the doors freshman year with people and outfits that only lasted a couple of months. I had some of my best moments throughout my high school experience.

People keep saying that high school is the best four years of your life and in those years high school was. It was the place that I cried my eyes out one day and laughed so hard my stomach cramped up the next. They had fights and relationship break-ups that in the moment was the hottest topic of the day. Looking back now high school you were wonderful and amazing even though I complained every day about you.

I am the person I am today because of high school, I grew up throughout the four years. I figured out who some of my real friends were and that just because one guy doesn't like you doesn't mean no one ever will. I learned how truly cruel girls could be and I learned a lot about myself there.

So high school it was one hell of a ride. It was four years that were absolutely amazing. I am so blessed to have made the friends I made and experienced the things I experienced because high school is over. A lot of the time I don't even miss you and you are who I was and now I am becoming who I meant to be. So high school is over and honestly I am not sad because the best years of my life are only just beginning.

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.
