From Squad To Family

They've taught me so much about myself.

From Squad To Family
Linnea Glas

I’ve always had a hard time making friends, well, making friends that I want to keep. Usually, we’re friends for a while and then sometimes happens and we aren’t chilling anymore. I had a minor squad back at the end of high school, however, I was a senior at the time and heading off to college so I didn’t get to be with them for that long. It wasn’t until my second year at college, I really found my squad, a group of students that just being around them made any bad day turn to a good day. They were as they like to call their selves, a super animation squad and man are they super. Now they don’t know just how much of an impacted that they’ve had on my life, due to their art, jokes and really bad meme jokes.

I've never seen a group of people more willing to help others or learn about other cultures or just to goof off, fun trips to Applebee's and make a BA Christmas album. They've taught me so much about myself and I know they've earned from each other. It always takes me a long time to call a group of people my friends, even longer to call them my squad, but rarely do I call people my family, and that's what they are to me. The college family that I know will always be there for me. With ever dab, pun, crazy theory or really bad joke, you won't find another cooler group of dudes anywhere else. They fly free on the wings of unicorns and will never stop being 10000% times cooler than anyone you can think of or have a picture of on your camera roll. They are my new family and I always will go to the end of the world for my families.

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.
