You are my go-to gal.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

These past years having you as my best friend have been more than I could have even imagined. We have been through so much together, and I would not change a single aspect of our friendship. Every up and down in our relationship has made us stronger and closer. You have been my number one and my go-to gal for as long as I can remember. Thank you for being a stellar best friend.

We have gone through each stage of our lives together. From our awkward middle school years with terrible haircuts and lack of fashion sense to our dance-going, Netflix-loving high school years and now through our first year of college. We have seen each other at our worst and helped each other rise to become our best. It is because of these years that our friendship has become so strong and unbreakable. I will forever reminisce about our memories and continue to look forward to the experiences we will share in the future.

Your family is my family, and my family is your family. As soon as I walk through your door, I feel like I am in my second home. I am always welcomed with open arms by you, as well as each of your family members. This is true from my family to you as well. My parents love you like their own child. You are always welcomed into my home, and invited to family gatherings. This constant love and support from our families makes me cherish our friendship even more.

You are my collection of favorite songs, memories and photos. You have become such a big part of my life that I have shared the majority of my most meaningful moments with you. Honestly, I couldn't think of anyone I would want to share these times with other than you. You were there when I finally got my driver's license, after my first breakup and when my niece was being born. You have been my partner in crime through it all, and I cannot express enough just how much that means to me.

As this crazy life continues on and pulls us down our different paths, I am confident we will always find our way back to each other. I am so excited to see where you go and the amazing things you will contribute to this world. I am so proud of you already, best friend. You are a light, and I cannot wait to watch you shine. I only hope that every person will one day find someone who illuminates their life like you do for me every day.

Forever and Always,

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.
