A Letter To My Best Friend Back Home

We may not see each other all the time, or talk everyday, but I just wanted to thank you for all that you do and let you know that I’m counting down the days until I see you again!

A Letter To My Best Friend Back Home
Jessi Sell

I can honestly say the fist time I met you, I had no idea that we would be where we are now. We met through a mutual friend (who oddly enough neither one of is is friends with anymore). You seemed nice, but that was as much thought as I gave it. I had no idea that you and I would soon be so close. Honestly, these days I can’t imagine my life without you. The first FCCLA hell week we survived together proved to me that we were going to be friends for a very long time. That week we napped in the hallways (that’s totally normal right?), ate a ton of candy ridiculously early in the morning and complained about how much we hated the world. When regionals rolled around, the stress was gone but our bond wasn’t.

During my senior year, I looked forward to our “study hall” every day. From eating Dippin’ Dots and gossiping with Amy, to Starbucks and Chik Fil’A dates, second period was always the highlight of my day. I can honestly say there aren’t many people that understand me quite like you do, and that’s something I’ve missed out on in a lot of friendships. I remember one summer night when something stupid happened and I was upset, I came over to eat ice cream with you and talk on your porch. I came to your house in such a bad mood and left feeling so much better, all thanks to you. I cannot thank you enough for all the times you’ve helped to totally turn my mood around by just being you.

Now that I’m in college and you’re finishing out your senior year, we don’t see or talk to each other as much as we used to. Even though I wish I could see you everyday, I am so blessed to have a friendship that can pick up exactly where it left off no matter how long we are apart. You are the first person I go to when I have a problem, and I know that I can talk to you about anything and everything. You always give me the best advice and are always there just to listen when I need you too. I am so happy and proud of everything you’re doing, and I owe you so much for supporting me through this bumpy year. Thanks for all our lunch dates and letting me help you with your FCCLA project/eat Brinner with your fam.

I miss you so much, and I can’t wait to kick it with you at FCCLA state again this year. I love you to the moon and back!

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.
