New friends, old faces.

When you come to college often times you are required to make a whole new set of friends because all your friends from high school are in different places.

For those who are outgoing, it is easy to make friends since everyone is new to this environment and they are all looking for people to be their friend. Even though both sets are your friends there are many differences between them.

High school friends know everything about you and have been with you for much longer. They've watched you grow up and now all the small details about your life that even you find insignificant.

As you go through high school your pool of friends becomes smaller and smaller until you really get to your core people who you want to keep in your life forever. These friends are harder to let go and you'll often find yourself forgiving them for things you don't forgive others for.

College friends are a whole other beast. Especially freshman year! These are the people who watch you experience your first blackout. They are going to stand by you as you start to discover who you want to be as an adult.

These people are going to shape who you become as a person way more than you could ever imagine. You are going to look back at these times when your old and think of them as the best times of your life. That being said, you haven't known your college friends for that long.

They are so much easier to lose, and you can have too many of them. I highly doubt that the people you start college with will be the exact same group of people you choose to end college with and that okay. People grow and change just remember no matter what college is like you'll, always have your ride or die highschool friends.

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.
