An Open Letter To My College Best Friend
Rachel Williams

Dear Best Friend,

There are no words to describe how much you have changed my life this past year. Coming to college, I didn't have any friends by my side because I didn't know anyone going to the same school as me. You and I met over the summer on the "Quad" group chat for our school. You talked about how you never toured the school and wanted pictures, so I sent you some from around campus. That, my friend, is what started this friendship.

I remember the first day we met; we went to that fair for the incoming freshman and played those indoor carnival games they had. After that, we went back to your dorm and hung out with your roommate but then I left to go back to my apartment. We started hanging out more, and it was like we instantly became best friends. We both had boyfriends at the beginning of the fall, but at the end of the spring semester, we were both single. We helped each other with our break ups and cried on each other's shoulders. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together and even had sleepovers.

Then we started hanging out with my roommate more, and we became the best friend trio. We did everything together, went on road trips, went shopping, went out to eat, and had many many many sleepovers. We even watched the entire season of "Fuller House" in about a day. I never had this much fun with my high school best friends, probably because I didn't live with them or see them 24/7 from being away at college.

Out of all of the fun stuff that we have done together, I have got to say that just hanging out in my apartment playing Xbox or watching movies until three in the morning has got to be my favorite. I can't wait for those kinds of nights again this year. I am so glad that we met on that Quad app because if it wasn't for that, we might have never crossed paths because we didn't have any classes together this entire year, probably because we have two completely different majors.

I am so happy that you came into my life. Through all the cries, laughs, and smiles we have had, you have made my life so much brighter. Friendships like ours are very rare and hard to find in this world nowadays. I am sure God was watching over us during the hard times in our life and decided that we needed each other and brought us together to become best friends; we are pretty much sisters that's how close we are. You have always been there when nothing seemed to be going right, and you were and are there during the highest points in my life as well. Just know that I obviously love you enough to write this long article about you.

I love you, Britt. Thanks for being my best friend.

-Rach

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.
