To My Now-Stranger With Memories

You were a blessing at first, yet you quickly became the worst.

You were one of my first friends when I first came into high school. We clicked almost instantly and started hanging out a lot. You would come to my house and feel right at home. We'd always end up leaving and going to Tim Hortons and talk about anything and everything. We bonded like sisters within a few months.

Dear Ex Best-Friend,

No, this isn't me trying desperately to get you to come back. In fact, I'm better off without you in my life. You caused me a lot of trouble between my friends and with myself. We came to the point that I couldn't stand it anymore.

I should have seen it when I came to you the day I was accepted into APSU's Odyssey community. You laughed in my face and told me it wasn't worth it. Whenever I would mention something I was proud of, you would always shut me down.

So, f- you for making me feel bad about my accomplishments and putting them down. I was proud of myself and you just knocked me over. I trusted you a lot, yet you just treated me like garbage and broke it.

I am far better off without you in my life and I am happy to say that. You were never worth the trouble of trying to fix our friendship because we would fight about irrelevant things. I hope karma catches up to you. If you never gave a shit about my accomplishments, you truly were never a best friend. I cared about you, I was happy for you, and I was sad for you. Thank you for not caring about me when I had gone through tough situations and came to you for help.

Our opinions may have clashed more than they should have and we fought over stupid things, but this is me letting the past go, as well as you and our friendship. It has become time for this to happen.

And guess what?

I am glad you are now out of my life.

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.

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.
