A Letter to My Best Friend

You might live 1,800 miles away but you're still my person, always.

A Letter to My Best Friend

Dear Bff,

You've been there for me ever since I can remember... okay since seventh grade, but we don't talk about middle school days #awkward. I honestly couldn't imagine not having you in my life. Sure, we've had our ups and downs, what friendship doesn't? But nothing had made us closer than me moving halfway across the country.

The summer leading up to my move was probably the best summer I've ever had, and I have you to thank for that. No really, I spent every waking hour at your house/with you so thanks for a kick a** summer. You rock. The only thing about that summer that sucked was knowing that every day that passed was one more day closer to my move.

When that day came I really didn't know what to say to you. How was I supposed to say bye to the only person who's been consistent in my life for the past six years (besides my parents)? You showed up, we hugged, and I cried the whole way to the airport. I couldn't believe that the next time I would see you would be Christmas, i.e. four months away... okay, I saw you at Thanksgiving and surprised you but that wasn't supposed to happen.

Those three months leading up to Thanksgiving were tough. I wished you were there to experience every major event that happened with me. All I wanted was my best friend by my side, but we still texted every day. If we went a day or two without texting we could pick up right where we left off. Our friendship grew stronger, and now I know that nothing can split us apart.

We've had our fair share of days where we don't talk to each other. You text me with all your boyfriend troubles and I text you asking why I'm still alone... no really this is true. I am so thankful to have you in my life, and the times you visit me over the next three and a half years are going to be amazing.

So thank you for being you. For loving me through all the stupid things I've done in my life. For being there when boys screwed me over time and time again. For making me laugh so hard I cried, and maybe peed a little. For having drunken adventures with me. For still being there even though we have a bajillion miles between us. Thank you for being the best person in my life.

Love you forever and ever and ever,

Your Bff

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.

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.
