Dear best friend,

Thank you. Thank you for supporting me and loving me regardless of the miles. Thank you being on the phone while I cry about late night studying for my test the next day. Thank you for maintaining our Snapchat streak. Thank you for being you.

I know it's hard to get together and spend time together when we are both so far from each other. I know it's hard when both your boyfriend and I are gone. I know you feel lonely when we aren't home. However, you need to know that you will never be alone.

You are such an incredible person and I know you will accomplish so much. With school and starting a new job, I feel so blessed that you make time to facetime me every single night. We haven't seen each other in so long but in some ways, it's like we haven't been separated. You've been here through it all.

I'm writing you this so that I can express just how much I appreciate your existence. You sit on the phone while I cry and you know I do the same for you. I call you with drama and gossip as we talk for hours throughout the night. You are loved and cherished so please don't forget how much you mean to me.

I admire your dedication and your motivation. You work so hard to accomplish your dreams. Once you put your mind to something you don't let it go. Never forget just how strong you are, it will take you so far in life. I admire your love for your family and friends, the loyalty you have to them is beyond anyone else I know.

You may get stressed out and feel anxiety about certain things, but I will always be here to listen and have your back. Hopefully you already know this but it is nice to have those reminders from people who care. Remember to take care of your self mentally and emotionally. It's important to both of us. I should remember this too.

School may have separated us but we have managed to keep our friendship as strong as before I left. I never thought my summer job would bring me such a wonderful and inspiring person, a friend I will have for life. I can't imagine not having a friend like you. I may not survive.

I see you in my wedding, at my kid's birthday parties, visiting for cookouts and everything else life has to offer. I truly believe I have made a friend who is here for a lifetime and I am so glad that that person is you.

You have helped me through hard times and celebrated with me through good times. You listen to me complain, thank you for being so patient. I appreciate everything you are and everything you will be. Keep working towards your dreams and never forget who you are. You are so important to me and many others.

Happy Birthday J, I love you so much.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend: Another ADHD Student

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.
