We are not dating -- we're just friends.

A Letter To My Guy Best Friend
Logan Prochaska

Boy best friends, we all have them. Most of the time people confuse him for your boyfriend (gross, I know). However, sometimes that is a bit of a compliment because although we will never be together, it's nice to know that everyone else can see that he is constantly looking out for you. There are so many things we wish we could tell our guy best friends, but we don't want them to take anything we are saying the wrong way. So, this goes out to my guy friend.

Dear guy best friend,

First off, I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for always supporting my sometimes questionable decisions and thank you especially for bringing so much laughter into my life. Don't get me wrong, having girl best friends is amazing, but sometimes you really are the only person that gets me.

We have all these inside jokes that no one will ever understand. Most of these jokes started out as me trying to annoy you, or vice versa, but then eventually became something we say to each other on a daily basis. While all our other friends are tired of hearing the same joke every day, I still think it's hilarious, and I hope you do too.

Let's not forget the dozens of times when people ran up to us and said, "Oh my gosh! How long have y'all been dating?" My personal favorite is whenever I mention another guy's name someone will say they thought you were my boyfriend. While these conversations are very redundant, irritating and seem to never end, I'm glad you can just laugh about it instead of being weird and running away from our friendship.

So far, you've stuck by my side through it all. I know I may drive you crazy sometimes because let's be honest, I am a little crazy. I know that sometimes I make snippy comments about your choice in girls, but as long as you're happy then I'm happy. We have definitely gotten into our fair share of arguments, but the next day everything is okay again. I love this because it reassures me that you won't be going anywhere for a while.

I hope that I am half as good a friend to you as you have been to me, and if I wasn't, I know you wouldn't hesitant to inform me.

I cherish all of the times that we have spent together and I can't wait to see what the future holds for our friendship. Thank you again for never being intimidated by my constant mood swings and always intimidating boy's who may try to break my heart. You're like an older brother: annoying and overbearing, but someone I would never want to be without.

Love,

Your girl 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.
