To My High School Best Friends...
Sarah Sistrunk

To my high school best friends, thank you for getting me through my high school years. Those four years would have been boring and miserable without y'all! I could have never survived those locker filled halls and crazy teacher's classrooms if I hadn't had y'all by my side. Friday night football games turned into weekend long parties. Thank you for the unlimited amount of sleepovers and car jam sessions. And speaking of car jam sessions... I'm glad I found friends who could go from High School Musical to rap to country and who didn't mind my horribly off key voice. Every car ride turned into a concert or a deep conversation about life. The best time for deep convos were at night though, when we would be just about to fall asleep and then all the sudden have the need to spill out all of the questions that have haunted us. It was then that I learned so much about life and took what you guys have to say to heart.

To my high school best friends, thank you for always speaking truth into my life. I know I can always come to you guys for anything. Y'all will tell me straight up if I'm about to do something stupid, but you will also let me make my own mistakes and be there for me when I didn't listen to y'all in the first place. You guys are my go to for everything, whether it's something serious or just freaking out because I saw the cutest baby ever. I know I can always come to y'all to receive the same amount of emotion I feel on any subject I present to you, especially cute boys! Even though our taste in guys are very different, I will always have to have your approval on the boys I date. If y'all disapprove, then bye bye boy!

To my high school best friends, thank you for not only sticking with me through high school but also college. First semester of freshman year was the longest amount of time we had ever been apart since we had met. It was hard to be apart, but the reunion was great and it was so amazing to realize that nothing had changed between us. We were going to make this different college and towns thing work! Yes, I am jealous of your new friends, just as I know y'all are jealous of mine, but I'm glad y'all have people looking out for you at college. But just don't forget about me when you're at school.

To my high school best friends, thank you for being the best friends I could have ever imagined. I am so blessed that God brought y'all into my life and I pray that y'all never leave. As we get ready to leave for school and take on another year apart, I am so glad that we had these few months to reconnect. I am constantly overwhelmed that I get to have such beautiful, Godly, awesome girls as my friends. I love you girls!

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.
