There Are Two Sides Of Every Broken Friendship, But One Path Forward To Fix It
Zoey Leonard

Starting at being the girl next door, to unintentional matching puck sluts for Halloween, to half year roommates, you quickly became my best friend. Sh*t hit the fan quick. We both went our separate ways with some bitter feelings.

A best friend and lifelong friend are hard to come by. When you find that person, hold on to them near and dear because I lost mine... or at least I thought.

A few months ago, even weeks ago, if you asked me "do you think you guys will be friends again" my answer, quite honestly probably would have been a solid no. Yet, we moved into dorm rooms... which ended up being next to each other (even after we requested not to be roommates anymore? Thanks, Res Life!) I guess they knew something that we didn't know.

It was a bit awkward at first, especially seeing your parents, but none-the-less I said hello and smiled. Thank god I did, because I missed you.

Best friends/lifelong friends go through a lot. I believe think that these last few months were a test of our type of friendship... I couldn't be more excited to know that we are life-long friends.

Thank you for loving me.. while hating me... especially throughout my long rough patch. Thank you for always being transparent with me and being straight up. I know I could not see it at the time but you really always have my back and I could not be more grateful.

Its comforting to know we are starting where we started last year... next door neighbors. I could not be more thankful towards Res Life for messing up our request!

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.
