A Letter To My High School Friend's New College Friends
Caitlin McCafferty

Dear Their College Friends,

Consider yourselves lucky. You get to spend the majority of the next four years with one of my best friends. You get to take my best friends through the next stage of our lives. You get to learn their likes and dislikes. You learn what will calm them down and what will rile them up. You will learn about all the heartaches and happy times I was there for. It is sad knowing there will be things I will miss and you will not but I am excited for you. They chose you guys to basically be the new group and I know you must be a great person because my friends are great judges of character. So I do not mind passing the torch on to you as one of their best friend.

I spent the majority of my life with them. They were there through the awkward middle school years and we held hands on our graduation day. They played alongside me on sports teams and cheered with me on the sidelines. We were together through hard times when they would dry my tears and hold my hand when things were scary. They also made my happiest days just a little happier by having to dry my tears from laughing so hard at everything and nothing.

I spent countless hours driving around with them doing nonsense, playing old songs and just being happy. You get to experience this now and you will love it. They will constantly play that song they know you hate and you will laugh through it every time because of the silly dance moves that they made to it. They also have the best fashion advice. They will make sure you look really good tonight or whenever you guys go out. They will also never leave your side no matter what either. They are the loyalest people I know and they will never make you feel alone or unwanted. They will hate everyone who does you wrong and you will be grateful to have them on your side. I can promise you that.

They will annoy you and get on your very last nerve. They will spoil every ,and I mean every, tv show series plot twist and movie you watch on you. They will sometimes make you so mad that you will want nothing more than to give them a good punch to the gut. However, I have seen them all mad and its nothing that a little ice cream trip and some girl time will not fix. They, for the most part, can be very laid back and they will talk to you when they are hurt by you trust me. They also sometimes bottle things up when they get upset. Do not take offense to this they will tell you when they are ready.

And yes, I also have new best friends as well, as well as my own college stuff going on so I will not be around that much. But these girls will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I have to trust you now to take care of them. Even though we are all spread out now, it does not mean I have replaced them in my life. They were there for me throughout all of my life and even though it is strange letting them move on, I cannot wait to watch them grow and succeed. They are my “persons”. They're the people I call when I have no where else to turn and they accept me with open arms. So kudos to you because you found an amazing person to have in your group. Keep them close and never let them go.

Good Luck (you'll need it!)

Their High School 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.
