To My College Friends As We Leave For Summer

You have no idea how much I'll miss you.

To My College Friends As We Leave For Summer

Dear College Besties,

As finals come to a close, we are all having mixed feelings about leaving school. We're excited about sleeping in our own bed, home cooked meals, and no classes. We're also pretty upset, though, because it means we are no longer in walking distance of one another. No more spontaneous dance parties, movie nights, or long library sessions together for four months -- that last one is more bittersweet.

We won't be completely apart, though. Expect tons of Snapchats of what I'm doing all the time, which will probably be working. I'll be constantly texting you with what I should wear, the stupid funny things that I find on the internet, and any sort of problem that I have because I seriously love you guys. You have become the best friends I could have ever asked for and I could never thank you enough. I can't imagine going through college without you by my side. You keep me grounded, keep me sane and happy. I've made the best memories with the best of friends.

The school year is ending, so I won’t be seeing your beautiful faces every day. I won’t have anyone to grab dinner with at the crappy DC or rant about my terrible professors and the boatload of assignments they've given me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited to reunite with my friends back home. Summer will be the amazing with my home pals by my side, but I will feel your absence every day. I will wonder where you guys, my college friends, are at and what you're doing. I will wonder if life is going well for you all. I guarantee something will remind me of “that one time” -- and you should expect calls from me explaining exactly what that was.

Every day I was able to see you guys and I never got tired of hearing your crazy stories, even if you've already told me it before and the same goes for the opposite way. You guys get my humor and like the same things I do. So when I am sitting on my phone almost to the point of crying because I saw a dog in a onesie with a binky in his mouth, you won't think I'm stupid or overreacting because you'll do the same thing (come on, it is pretty darn cute).

Thank you for not judging me and for doing stupid things with me like walking across town just to get some pizza. Thank you for staying up all night with me so I can cry about how terrible life is. Thank you for giving me advice, even the harsh ones that I know I need to hear. Thank you for being my best friends.

Love,

Your College Bestie

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.
