An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Meet At College
Sydney Loverde

You kinda snuck up on me, good pal.

In high school, I had a group of close knit friends, and I had lots of just friends. My class was a very small one, and I knew everyone. Then, when I got to college, I was quite scared. I didn't know anyone, I didn't know how to get around the city (something I still struggle with), and I was lost and confused.

Then I met you! I remember we clicked automatically, without even having to try. Conversation flowed easily, memories formed naturally, and inside jokes developed daily. It's only been one semester, and I could already fill a book with everything we've done together! I was so scared that once I left home, I wouldn't ever have a close friend. I thought I would have several people that I knew, a few people I confided in, but no one that I could tell secrets, spend endless amounts of time with, call at any hour of the day or night, or come to with any issue. I thought my days of laughter and sleepovers and childlike friendships ended upon my graduation. I'm an "adult" now. Adults don't have fun with their friends, do they?

WRONG! You came along and you changed everything that I thought about college friendships. For every memory we have made already, there are a thousand more waiting for us. I can't wait to have more fun with you, spend more time with you, cry more tears with you, learn more new things with you, grow up with you, and tell my future kids about you.

Best friend that I made in college- you are a light to my life. You put a smile on my face, a song in my heart, and a skip in my step. I am more and more blessed every day to know you. I love you so much!

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.
