A Letter To My Best Friends

High school may not have been the best years of our lives, but I met you guys, lifelong friends, thank you for everything.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Mary Kate Mullen

We've grown up together, from kindergarten to senior year; we walked the same halls, had the same teachers, and sat in the same chairs. Although we all became close at different times, we ended up as best-friends and I know you all will have my back for the rest of our lives. From bike rides, to driving cars, from homecoming to prom, and 8th grade moving up day to high school graduation and everyday in-between you were the ones I wanted by my side. We've grown up together, you guys have taught me so much. Even though I left for school and moved 2 hours away to Keuka College, I sure didn't miss a beat with you all. So this ones for you guys, thanks for being my best-friends.


You've shown me what I deserve, you tell things straight up and don't beat around the bush, but that's how it has to be. You have given me advice when I needed it the most, and an ear to talk to when I had no where else to turn. You have done things for me that others would have either thought twice about or would have turned their back right away. You have made me laugh when I needed it the most.

You know everything about me, from the way I order my food, my drink of choice, the outfit I'd actually be comfortable in, the face I make when I'm annoyed or probably any emotion for that matter, you know what I'm afraid of.

This summer we've gotten closer than ever; practically spending every night together between work and sports schedules. Doing random adventures, anything to have fun and spend time together before two of us head away for school and the closest we'll get to hanging out is texting how bad our day went or comparing our crazy assignments in our group message, and the only way I'll get to see your faces is Snapchat. Thank you for having fun with me and being down for whatever even if it's just watching a movie or sitting in the hot tub.

So to my high school best friends, thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart. We started as friends and are becoming sisters, you all are the sisters I've never had, never leave me side. From worrying about me when I first went away to school because I never answered to laughing at me for the stupid decisions I make. You guys show me what good friends look like and I can honestly say I've never been closer to someone, you guys know me like the back of your hand and I wouldn't change a thing.

You made high school tolerable and you'll make the rest of my life enjoyable.

I love you Fab 5 or as they call us... Mom Squad

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.
