To The Friends Who Became Family, I Love You More Than Words
Marissa Hall

Family: A group of people, usually of the same blood (but do not have to be), who genuinely love, trust, care about,and look out for each other.

When I started at Siena I knew one person. Throughout my first week, I became friends with the rest of the cheer team and consider them to be family. However, this isn't for them, they will get their own article later. This is for the group of people I shared family dinners, late night adventures, and heartfelt confessions with. My college friends who became family in a few short months.

Bryan, you and I became friends after meeting at a Halloween party in the art building. We agreed to start a Snapchat streak, and slowly became friends. We have been friends for almost 200 days per our Snapchat streak and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Jordan, you became a cheer sister and real sister. I've been lucky to help you through the trials and tribulations that college brings. Your love for theater, choir, and cheer have made me want to put more passion into everything I do. You are growing into your own skin and I can't wait to see what college does to you.

Nani, you are a boss a*s b*tch and I love you. Thank you for the many adventures and crying sessions. My door will always be open for you in the fall.

Emily, I will say this until the day you get married, you do not need a man to be amazing. Boys will come and go but the friends you make and keep will be here for you forever.

Alexis, mom, I just love you beyond belief. I don't know how many of us lived our lives without you. You are my forever tequila sister from another mister.

To the others, I am so lucky to know you. There are so many great memories we share and more we will create. I can't wait to see what this year brings us. See you all in August!

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.
