That Friend

You could have one - or you could have multiple. Either way, that friend will always be that friend.

That Friend

They could be your roommate, or they could live hundreds of miles away. You could have known them for your whole life, or you could have met them your first term of college. It doesn't really matter because of how close you guys are anyways, right?

That friend - the one who you don't talk to everyday, because you don't need to. The one who you can pick up to grab Starbucks for 20 minutes or sit in front of the TV for 5 hours watching another Say Yes To The Dress marathon. (You know that has happened before!)

That friend is the kind of person who will text you randomly with quotes, funny pictures, or even to tell you that they hope you're having a good day.

That friend who you can share endless amounts of laughter that turns into the silent or the "I can't breathe" kind and never get tired of it. The one who you think of when you imagine a road trip adventure that you know is nearly impossible but they would still be up for it because they are just as crazy.

That friend is there for you whenever you need them. They'll give you advice when you want it, or they will just listen and let you talk. You don't even have to say anything because they already know what you're feeling.

That friend would never judge you for eating a carton of ice cream or a bag of your favorite candy in one sitting. In fact, they'd want in too. Then, of course, joke about how you guys need to go to the gym to make up for it - but never actually do.

That friend who you call before anyone else. You call them when you don't know what to wear, when you're having a mental breakdown about finals week, your big accomplishments and achievements, and even when you've made a big mistake the night before. They will always be filled in about every little detail about your life.

That friend is your best friend - someone who will do anything for you and you'd do the same. Someone who will always be there for you no matter what. Someone who you don't mind telling you right from wrong. Someone who will cheer the loudest for you. Someone who will cry for you. Someone who will always believe in you. Someone who you truly believe that what you give to them will always be given in return.

That friend is one of the most happy, loving, and downright awesome human beings who you will ever meet and will cherish forever. You will always hold onto that friendship because it means the world to you. As someone once said: “True friendship is a gift; generously given, happily accepted, and deeply appreciated."

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.
