An Open Letter To My College Best Friends

To the people I can’t imagine life without,

I truly don’t know where I would be without you guys. Although joining the same sorority may have introduced us, I’m still unsure as to when exactly we all became so close. I don’t think I could express enough how thankful I am to have met you, and now be able to call you my best friends.

When stressful times approach I can always count on you all to keep me grounded. When I’m overwhelmed and talk of fleeing the country or dropping out of school is mentioned to avoid an upcoming test or issue in my life, thank you for reminding me that life goes on... and that moving to Canada is most definitely not the solution.

We’ve seen each other at our best and our worst, and you’ve been there to wipe my tears and tell me that it will get better when things just seem to be falling apart, and I can’t express how much it means to me. College is a time where we all are still trying to find ourselves and figure out life, and you all have shown nothing but love and support in every decision I make; I’m a better person because of each of you.

Despite the differences in each of our personalities, we all come together to make one dysfunctional group of people who just happen to be inseparable, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. In the past few months, in which we have become so close, you have given me some memories I will never forget. They say college will be some of the best years of your life, and at first I found that hard to believe. Thanks to the five of you I now know this to be true. Whether we’re having family dinners, talking for hours about absolutely nothing, or going on questionable adventures, I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.

Although college is just four years I know we will all remain close for years to come, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.

Love,

Your forever friend

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.
