A Letter To My Long Time Best Friend

I don't care what science says, we are related.

A Letter To My Long Time Best Friend

My dear long-time best friend,

We have been through every up and down since third grade. This letter is for you.

I want to start by saying how much I value you as a person in my life who listens to my petty drama and accepts my hand signals and weird looks across the room as a form of communication. Since day one, we have been inseparable. Yes, there were blocks of time where we didn't talk, but a year would go by, and we would catch up like nothing had happened. Now, we're in college.

College has separated us with distance, but I want you to know I'm always here for you. Even with a crazy schedule, I do want to hear what you have to say and how I can help. I hate when you have to go through a tough time on your own and I can't physically be there, or when you just need a hug. Please know I am here, even if it's with a two-hour phone conversation.

It's a good friend like you who has taught me how to never let a friendship go just because it's "inconvenient" or "takes too much effort." I'm here to tell you your friendship means the world to me. Studies say after the ten-year friendiversary, you're likely to stay friends for life. Well, I believe that's hella true, so prepare for a lifetime with my weird comments, laughs, and requests to go to waffle house at 3 a.m.

Last thing, I'm glad we both like flamin' hot cheetos.

Talk to you soon,

Your long-time 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.
