Although we're hundreds of miles apart, you'll always be my person.

An Open Letter To 'My Person'
Nina Hebrank

Growing up with a best friend like you made me the person I am today.

I can honestly say I wouldn't be the fun, spongebob-loving, pizza-eating, crazy woman I am if I hadn't met you. You make me a better person, and I am a better person when I'm with you.

If I hadn't met you, I can imagine that I would definitely care more about what people thought of me. You've shown me that it shouldn't matter. As long as you like you, other people should too.

You are so different from any other friend I've ever met. Maybe it could be that you eat my house of all of its food, laugh at all my jokes even when they're not funny, or even just make an extra effort to reach out to me when I'm having a tough week. It could be choreographing all the Britney Spears songs in my iPod or those gross homemade videos on my Mac. I always look back on those times and smile because I can honestly say those were the best times of my childhood.

One thing I particularly admire about you is that you're so independent. I wish I could feel half as independent as you are. You're so strong and intelligent...AND HUMBLE. I honestly have never met anyone who is as humble as you.

Over the years, we have grown up together and stuck with each other through thick and thin. There have been times we've both wanted to give up, but never could. I couldn't because I couldn't imagine my world without you in it.

Being mistaken as your sister was one of the proudest moments of my life. I mean, we basically were sisters and could be mistaken easily for them. We looked alike, talked alike, and were alike in so many ways I've lost count.

You are the bright sun peaking through the gray clouds. Every text or snapchat I get from you makes me smile because it's either one of our numerous inside jokes or just a dumb little thought you'd thought would make me laugh.

You've really grown up. We were so awkward and gross in 6th grade and now you're definitely the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes on. I was looking at some pictures of us on vacation in 7th grade and couldn't even recognize you! I love seeing how college is treating you and all the friends you've made. I can't wait to meet them.

Together, we have done so much. We were like frick and frack, Beavis and Butthead, Spongebob and Patrick. There is no one I'd rather have had by my side through it all. I love you so much.

I think about you everyday and mention our crazy adventures daily. So know that you're loved and I can't wait to see you soon.

Love,

Ninster

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.
