College Might Come To An End, But Your College Friends Are Forever

Coming to college you are expecting hours of endless work, freedom like you've never had before and a few more Instagram followers. But I got so much more than that. I found three friends, my Rack Pack, that will grow with me throughout the rest of my life and that's more than I ever thought I'd get from "the college experience."

These are the girls I know will have my back till the day I die. They make me laugh till cry and smile until my teeth fall out. We hang out every day, no matter what we are doing we make time to see each other. If we do not get the chance to see each other, then we turn to FaceTime.

These are some of my best friends and I do not know what I would do without them. We do anything and everything together, from studying in the library to going on walks around our beautiful city. We cannot get enough of each other. You may think we would get sick of each other, but we do not.

Here's our story:

First, Morgan and I were in the same Phi Chi group during the rush week. For some reason, she looked familiar, but I didn't know why because she was from Kentucky. Well turns out we played volleyball against each other our sophomore year of high school! We bonded over that and instantly became friends. During rush week she ended up dropping, so I saw her around campus and in the dorm. We did not really connect until the second semester. I started hanging out with her more. I also convinced her to join our sorority and she did! Now we are not only best friends but sisters!

At the College of Charleston, one of our main Greek Life events is Pep Supper, which is a big dance competition between sororities and fraternities. This is where I met Emily. I never thought we would be as close as we have become. I met her through one of her friends and since then we have been inseparable. If not all of us are hanging out, then you'll find Emily and me probably at Starbucks with our venti waters in hand.

When you're in a Kia for 2 hours, with strangers, you are bound to become friends. I was driving Carol, just some chick in my sorority, to one of our sisterhood events and we ended up having the car ride of a lifetime. We jammed all the way to Columbia and back. We talked about everything from sorority stuff to our everyday lives.

Once I became really close to Emily and Carol, I introduced them to Morgan. And that is when we became The Rack Pack. If you see one of us, then you will see all of us. We are definitely a squad and I love it!

These girls are my best friends! I do not know what I would do without them. We're really bad influences on each other when we're out and about shopping or eating, but that's the fun of being best friends!

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.
