A Letter To My Best Friend From Home
Erin Rowland

To my best friend,

I miss you! I miss the high school days when we saw each other every day. Even though it was boring in math class, you kept me entertained by passing notes and drawing funny pictures. I miss going on senior privilege with you and picking out where we were going to eat every day, because you love food as much as I do. I miss being a part of your everyday life, because it seemed so easy then. Even though everyone promises that nothing will change when we leave for college, it inevitably does. We both made new friends and had new experiences that we both weren't a part of. We struggled through a new life without each other and that's OK.

Now when I get to come home on breaks, I know you're there to hear all about what's been going on with me, the bad and the good, and I know I can't wait for you to fill me in, too. I know I probably talk your ear off when I come home, but I'm just anxious to tell you about everything that has changed. When my college friends don't want to hear it anymore, I know I can always call you. Driving to the beach with you and seeing movies on Tuesdays never gets old for me and then we can laugh at the time I drunk-called you crying.

You've seen me at my worst, wearing the same sweats for three days in a row with dirty hair, and will still go out in public with me to get the ultimate hangover cure, First Class bagels. You're the one who calls me at 12 A.M. on my birthday and the one who will be nice and tell me I look even skinnier now than when you last saw me. When I need help deciding between rompers, you are the one I text.

We've shared so many things together, from our first jobs to our first Four Lokos, and I can't wait for all the new ones. Definitely Cali this year!

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
