For My Best Friend

Because I miss you like hell, my dear.

This is for you, Dill. Because I miss you and you're not here. Because even if we're far far far apart, you're still here with me.

You brought me in with open arms. I'll never forget when you talked about my moving in as if it were a given, not a huge decision Kat had to make. It made me feel like I had a place to call home, and people that would want me to live there. That meant more than you'll ever know.

We bonded slowly, but strongly. It started with our mutual detestation for certain people and led to our mutual love for all things Harry Potter, cheese and music that makes us get the feels we hate getting.

You went from my roommate's girlfriend to my friend. We would sit there together and do homework in between classes. You understood the beauty of being alone... together. That's right. I just brought Fall Out Boy into this. It's real now. You had bees and I had ballet and we were both tired all the time.

Then we found out we have like everything in common. Equestrian? Yep. Poetry? You bet. Converse? Always. Even the stuff we don't like to talk about we share. But for real, who can put on shoes standing up. That's just a bunch of malarkey, McMurray. See what I did there? I know you're rolling your eyes right now.

You grew from my friend to my confidant to my best friend. A title neither of us take lightly by any means. From John Mulaney to what I will refer to as March Madness to ice cream at Ziggy's wondering why those two girls were staring at us. They were just jealous of us.

Now we share everything. You're the first person I call in crisis and the first person I think of when someone talks about their best friend. You convince me to step outside my comfort zone, and you always support me. I know you'll hate me because this will give you the feels but I feel it too so don't worry. You're never alone. You're the Sirius to my James, mischievous and adventurous with an incredibly kind heart... and a pony tail.

I miss you and your pony tail. I miss when we always had lunch together and Crows Nest on the weekends. I miss having Brooklyn accents that are too on point. It's scary how good we are at that. I miss you being down for anything and always being there. We became best friends because suddenly we were just there, in each other's lives. In retrospect, it could've turned out very bad if we weren't both so awesome. But thank God we're as cool as Poison Ivy and Harley. I love ya' Dill, and I can't wait to be your official roommate and best friend next quarter.

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.
