To my Best friend before she travels the world

"Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school."

To my Best friend before she travels the world

In This Article:

To My World Traveling Best Friend,

First things first, you better send me some postcards! SInce you're leaving me for the summer, the least you could do is send me a letter. I am thrilled for you to have this experience, and not so secretly very jealous, so please keep me updated of everything detail. I can't live vicariously through you if you don't.

But in all seriousness, not that I'm joking about the postcards, have the best time and enjoy the journey. Of all the traveling we've done together, big or little, I think we can both agree that some of the best memories aren't only the trip highlights, but the small in between moments as well. I am sure you know what I'm talking about, but in case you're forgetting I'm talking about standing outside of a bakery for two hours waiting to get in, sipping water through a Twizzler in the car pretending it's a straw, running through the airport with a group of forty people trying to catch our flight, house hunting, thunderstorms in Estonia, and dreadfully chewing dramamine tablets.

Should I continue? Needless to say, we've always made the best times out of nothing. After having a tea party with the queen, eating canolis in Italy, (that I'm sure will be 100x better than Bova's. UGH, can you tell I'm jealous?) and singing Mama Mia on the shores of Greece don't forget to take in all the little moments too. Don't to

Of course take in all the big moments too, because, "Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school." This is your time. You're about to set out on one of the greatest adventures of your life. Visit all the most wonderful sites, meet incredible people and try all the new, exotic foods. No matter how crazy it may seem remember these few things. Nothing can be worse than that meat jelly. You may never get the chance to try it again, and Goonies never say die!

Above all else, be safe, have fun, be bold, be brave, be you (get it?) and don't forget about me while you're living large in Europe. Ciao! Adios! Au Revoir! See you soon. I love you. XXOO

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
