To The Best Friend Who's Graduating From College, The Last Year Without You Is Going To Be Strange

Hey Buddy Boy,

Our relationship has been far from ordinary. There have been more bumps in the road than I can count, but we've always remained good friends. In fact, we became better then friends. We became best friends which lead to us becoming inseparable from the very beginning.

When we first met, it was a little awkward considering I was looking for your roommate and you opened the door, but that's beside the point. We quickly realized we are the same person, so it made it really easy to talk to you and find things to talk about. We used to spend hours each day just talking about random stuff, and googled some things we wish we could un-see (you should know what I'm talking about with this). It was so nice finding someone who I could connect with and spend all day with without getting sick of them.

While all of this was great, I knew you were a year older than me, so I knew this day would come. I knew you weren't going to be around my senior year which I was fine with until it was time to say bye.

The more I think about it, the sadder I get because I don't know who I'm going to rant to after a bad day or who I'm going to eat lunch and dinner with literally every day. I'll miss our pillow fights and picking on you, but I'm extremely proud of you, and I hope you know that.

While I may be sad that you're leaving, I know you're off to do good things, and I'll see you again someday. Not everyone graduates from college, and not everyone earns as many credits as you did in 4 years. Honestly, I'm not sure how you did it considering I barely saw you do any work in the last 3 years that I've known you. It's still pretty impressive.

While there were days you annoyed the crap out of me, there were a lot more good times than bad. It's going to be so weird watching football games without you and only cooking dinner for one person. Move-in day is going to be the weirdest because I won't have your help like I do every other year, but I'll survive.

You've made the last three years extremely memorable, and I can't wait to make more memories in the future. You have to come visit in the fall anyway because we need to break our mini golf tie. Anyway, I'm going to miss you, but thank you so much for being the greatest friend I could ask for. I'll miss seeing you, and I'll miss calling you annoying every single day.

Good luck in the real world, buddy. I'll see you soon.

Love,

Stephanie

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.
