A Thank You Letter To "My Person"
Lisandra Mejia

Honestly, there is just so much to thank you for. I probably would be able to fit it all in this article, and that's saying something because there have been no limit to the amount of words in an article. I just want to say right off the bat, I have no clue how you put up with me. Seriously I know I annoy you to death with all my stupid questions, comments, jokes. There is SO much you have done for me and I could never in a billion years be able to tell you how much it means to me.

You’ve taught me to push myself.

I’m gonna admit, I’m not the most focused person when it comes to school. Currently I have straight A’s in procrastinating, but we’ve been working on that. Whether its school or just life you push me to try new things, and have new experiences. I mean, if it wasn’t for you I would have already skipped everyday of biology and English.

You know how to help me through anything

2016, what a year. There’s been many up’s and down’s in both of our lives. I have tried to be the best of a friend I could be, but I know I have failed time and time again. Then there's you, who has been there for me no matter what and has had an opinion on no matter the topic, and you found a way to help me through whatever I was going through.

You know me better than I know me.

I have no clue how you do it. You know what I’m gonna do before I do it, which can kinda get a little creepy. But you know what’s best for me so you try to steer me in the right direction.

You never give up on me.

There have been many times since I’ve met you that I’ve wanted to give up. Just throw everything out the window and find a hole to crawl in and die. But when I fell you picked me up and showed me that I shouldn’t give up, that I have a bright future and can’t give up now. You believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. You’ve encouraged me through many tough parts of my life. I can never thank you enough for doing that.

You want the best for me.

A guy better not look at me unless he passes your inspection and your wonderful Facebook stalking skills. But I can’t really say anything because I do the same for you. The only reason that we do it is because we want the best for each other. You never want me to give less than 110% because you know I can do better. You just want me to succeed and live up to my best ability. You just really want the best for me, and I want the best for you.

You just get me.

You know me better than some people I’ve known my entire life. You just understand what I understand. By no means do I mean we are exactly the same. Believe me sometimes I wish I was more like you, but we just have a lot in common. When I talk about class you know exactly which one I’m talking about and exactly my problem. Really, if I talk about anything you know exactly the context and whatever else you know, because you know everything.

I dedicate this article to my partner in crime, my sister in blue and gold, my person, Sadie LaPointe. You’ve been there ever since the first day I met you in Horticulture. I have a feeling Mrs. Haigler knew we would become best friends when she sat us beside of each other. Since I’ve met you, you helped me make a decision that would change my life. You helped me to join the best organization, there is: FFA. Through this we have been on numerous adventures around the country. Other then FFA we have experienced the Dixie Chicks and well, basically surviving high school. Seriously I have no clue how I made it this far without you. I just know I don’t want to know what it is like again. You are the best friend anyone could ask for you are loyal and beautiful and awesome in every way. I hope you like this article, and I can’t wait to see what endeavors await us in 2017.

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.
