A Letter to Billy Joel

Dear Billy Joel,

For the longest time, I have been such a huge fan. Whenever you sing us a song because you're the piano man, you bring such joy to the world. Your music speaks to people on all different levels. You make those who are happy even happier, and you know how to get in touch with those who are sad. You are even able to make that girl with the nice white dress and a party on her confirmation feel like she's pretty damn awesome.

Growing up in New York, I've always felt a deep connection with being in a New York state of mind. I've never really desired to live anywhere else because of how much I absolutely love New York. Although, when The New York Times and The Daily News mentioned about your concert this year in Miami 2017, I felt like that was someplace I'd rather be.

Every morning, when I walk around school in my engineer boots, leather jacket, and tight blue jeans, I think about what my life would be like after college. Sometimes, it seems such a waste of time. But then again, if I want to be a big shot in this world, I need to suck it up and work as hard as I can. I pray to God that I will never have a marriage like Brenda and Eddie and that my husband will never let me go, tell me everything he feels, and give me every reason to accept that he's for real.

Billy Joel, if you ever walked into my house during a family party, it would be like walking into scenes from an Italian restaurant. Who's fighting with who, who lost weight, whose got a good job and a good office, and who is too occupied with picking a bottle of white and a bottle of red.

So Billy Joel, keep making my sweet romantic teenage nights even more worth while with your music. Keep on being the entertainer, because you have definitely won our hearts.

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.
