A Letter To My High School Friends

I know when we went off to college most of us were super ready to get out and meet new people. Even though we were very sad to leave each other, we were ready for new experiences and to get out of our bubble of an all girls catholic school. But, while being in college I have realized what a blessing it is to have you all by my side still, and the abundance of things we have accomplished and are going to accomplish. You all are the most outgoing, crazy, LOUD, intelligent, independent, and beautiful ladies I will ever know. Although I miss our ice cream dates, and late night car rides, getting to see your beautiful faces over break makes my days so much brighter. I love knowing that I already have lifelong friends and people I can always fall back on. You all push me to be the best person I can be, and always know what to say when I’m feeling down. So, thank you for still loving me even in my weakest times.

Thanks for being so weird, and embracing everyone for the person that they are. I have never met another group of girls as judge free and sincere as y’all.

I cannot wait to see what we are accomplishing in the next 4 years, and I cannot even begin to think that some of you could be married, heck with kids, in the next 10. You are all incredible and strong women who can do anything you put your mind to. So adventure, travel, and study your butts off, as I know you will.

Stay away from the three B’s (boys, blunts, and booze) and stay safe!!! I cannot imagine my life without one of you all. So let this not be a letter to my high school friends, but my lifelong friends, because lets face it... I'm stuck with ya.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

-B

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
