To My Friends As We Go Home For The Summer....
Kaley Saxton

And I thought not seeing you for winter break was bad enough...... now a whole summer? I'm not so sure if I can do this.

For the past nine months, we have have laughed, cried, and annoyed each other in this small place called college. Making college my second home includes seeing your face every day, and now I must say it will be hard going an entire with months without seeing it. Is this what withdrawal feels like?

Can you honestly count how many times we have woken up together? How many calories we have consumed together? How many of those we have burned off dancing? How many times we have worn each others clothes? How many songs we have sang in the car? How many people we have fit in one car?

Before college, I never knew it was possible to fit in so many memories with a person in such a short amount of time. To to have a person at the exact same point in life is comforting. I thank you for just living life pretty similarly to how I am. Now I truly know I have someone to lean on when adulting gets hard.

Throughout grade school, people meet you based on 18 years of knowledge and assumption about you, in college that isn't the case. I thank you for meeting me at this exciting new chapter in life accepting me for the goofy hot mess I am now and being invested in who I will become. I would just like to think of these summer breaks as power naps in our college careers. I mean, we are kind of exhausting together.

I know this summer will be filled with much-needed sun and sleep for the both of us, but try to miss me a little bit because I will be missing you. I promise to Snapchat you my every move, text you when I'm bored, and Tweet about you when I miss you, I know you will be doing the same. Never forget that although I won't be a short walk or drive away, I will always pick up the phone or facetime you at any hour.

I never knew that aside from the amazing education I am getting that I would gain such a wonderful person in my life. You are the Ying to my Yang. I cannot wait to tell all my friends from home all about you and show them some of the crazy memories I have captured. It only frustrates me that we couldn't have met sooner although It would not surprise me if we did in a past life.

I can only hope that this summer goes as fast as the semester. You have to promise me to survive without me though, even though I am pretty sure we are more reckless together. Try not to annoy your friends from home too much bragging about me.

No matter the distance I love you bunches! Just don't forget to tan too so we look on point for our reunion selfies.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
