To My Best Friend: God Really Outdid Himself
Hanah Jenkins

Websters defines "Best Friend" as: "ones closest and dearest friend," but my best friend, Tayler, is so much more than that! Tayler is truly a one of a kind person. The qualities that make Tayler such a GREAT person are empathy, compassion, her love for God, being the BEST listener, and SOO many more. God was truly working over time when her made Tayler, and I think he always intended for us to be best friends! We have so many qualities that go hand in hand to create this amazing friendship!! Anytime I get good news, I immediately reach for my phone to text her because I know she is genuinely happy for me, and so supportive of everything I do. Tayler feels like much more than my best friend, it`s almost like we`re twins half the time ( our Olive Garden waitress even asked if we were twins once). We have this unspoken connection and we ALWAYS want the best for each other.

We have been friends for so many years and made an abundance of memories. Every time we`re together it feels like we create another story that we will look back on for years. One of my favorite memories of the two of us is from this summer when we went shopping, basically every day, and it was pouring rain. Neither one of us had our raincoats with us (because that's how it always happens) so here we are running through the rain, looking like fools. It`s always an adventure with the two of us. Some of the best adventures we have had were days where we got together after work and just ran errands together because Target trips are always more fun with your BFF!

Part of what makes us such good friends is that we both have the same sense of humor. We are always sending each other crazy Snapchats. If anyone else could see into our Snapchat or text thread, we would both be sooo embarrassed. Vine (R.I.P) is a shared love of ours, her name in my phone is "Hi and welcome to Chili`s" because we tend to quote vines to each other way too often, and that`s one of our shared favorites. Another shared interest is conspiracy theories. We go NUTS for a good conspiracy theory, and half of our text thread is us sharing conspiracy theories with each other.

A quality that is sometimes hard to find these days is a genuine LOVE for the lord, but Tayler goes way beyond that! She not only has an amazing spiritual relationship but encourages me in my relationship with God as well. We attend church services together, share our favorite bible studies, and pray for each other daily. I think this is truly one of the driving forces in our friendship! Tayler is the best friend any girl could ask for, and I know that even when we are four hours apart, we are always supporting each other!

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.
