To The Ex-Best Friend Who Became Just Another Snapchat Streak

You'll always have a friend in me.

Hey You,

It's been a while.

I know you probably don't think of me much anymore, and frankly, I don't think much of you either (except for our daily exchange of "streak" Snapchats). I know that we're at two different points in our lives at two different universities hundreds of miles away from one another and that we both now have new friends- we've moved on. I also know that not everything is meant to last forever, not even our friendship was an exception.

You should know that I'm not angry or upset with you. Our friendship was one of the best I've ever had, and I will forever be grateful to and for you. Unlike what most people in my position would do, if I could go back in time to the day we met, I wouldn't turn the other way to avoid meeting you. In fact, I wouldn't change any of it. I wouldn't take back any of the memories, late night drives, or heart to heart conversations we've had.

What I would do if I could go back time, though, is tell myself to really cherish the time I got to spend with you. If only I would have known how short-lived our friendship was going to be, I would have. Since time travel isn't possible, I guess I'm stuck in the present, now writing this to you (even though you'll probably never see this).

If we ever were to speak again, I know what the two words I would say to you would be- thank you. Thank you for the constant love, support, and advice you gave me throughout the course of our friendship. Thank you for the milkshake and waffle dates, singing (screaming, really) along to the radio with me, and never making me feel like I was your second choice, until the end, anyway.

Our friendship ended nearly as quickly as it started, and that really is a shame. I don't hate you, though, I never could. You'll always have a special place in my heart regardless of whether or not I have one in yours. Why be bitter over someone who once made me so happy?

I know you'll do great things in your life, and I will always love and support you from afar. Of course I miss you, even though there isn't really a point to. Why miss someone who doesn't miss me? Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but you don't care enough to reach out so I shouldn't either.

Regardless of what may have happened, I'm still here. I always will be here for you. Whether you need to call to vent about how your roommate doesn't want to get waffles with you every morning or to brag about the A you got on your Psychology paper- I'll be here to listen.

You'll always have a friend in me.

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.
