Why Long Distance Friendships Are The Best Friendships
Vulture

I've found that long-distance friendships can mean more than the relationships we have that are physically close to us. By having a friend that used to live 10 minutes down the road to across the state or even country can be hard. But, I have found that true friendships do prevail and most likely will be there for life.

1. You find out who matters the most.

When friendships are split up by distance, you really know which friends fade away and which ones will be there for the long run.

2. When your lives get busy, it's ok if you don't talk for a while.

You two can stand the test of time and pick up like no time has passed at all.

3. You appreciate them more.

You realize how amazing you had it when you guys lived close and will never take summers home for granted again.

4. Therapy sessions in phone calls.

Your best friends might as well go to the same college as you, they know what you eat, when you failed your first test and all of your boy and new friend drama.

5. They get along with your new friends.

When you introduce each other's new friends to one another they hit it off as well as you two did when you first met.

6. Reunions are the best.

When you and your best friend from home reunite the feeling is like no other. It is like having your other half back, the person who just gets you.

7. Nobody can replace them.

No matter where you and your best friend end up you two change and grow, yet never grow apart. They are irreplaceable and the void would be noticeable if they weren't there.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
