A Letter To My Sh** Show Friends

Thanks for never judging me...too hard.

A Letter To My Sh** Show Friends
Kristina Barry

Dear *insert friends' name here,*

Thanks for being my friends. Thank you for being my friends regardless of how much of shit shows we all are together. Despite the fact that I didn't find my husband in college, I found something better. I found you all. I found my people. My best friends. My life partners. My fellow degenerates. You are my friends that convince me to start the weekend on a Tuesday because "Monday was rough." My friends who help me compose that "come over" text at 2 a.m. because our motto is "only good things happen after 2 a.m."

You are all my support team. Usually, in life you find that one person that is your absolute best friend that you text nonstop about nonsense that clearly doesn't matter. I am #blessed enough to have found an entire group of people that I can text non-stop about how boys give me anxiety, which formal dress to wear, answer my question about "should I get laid tonight", how much school work I always have because all I do is study, how my family is giving me an ulcer, that puppy I saw last week, or the burrito I ate at Chipotle. I know you all will be there for me regardless of how stupid the topic is. Not all people are lucky enough to have one person, let alone a group. This is something I will never and refuse to take for granted.

So this is a thank you. A thank you to my guy friends for letting me cry on their shoulders when my ex and I broke up, for picking out my formal dresses for me, for teaching me how to lift in the gym, for letting me wear your flannels, sweat pants, and t-shirts, for always picking me up when I'm down, and for being the best big brothers I could ever ask for. A thank you to my girlfriends for tolerating me 24/7 every single day of the week, for listening to my rants, for making me laugh so hard I have to pee, for being my constant rocks, for hating that one girl that I hate with me (because it's fun to hate someone together), for being my sisters, for being my best friends, and for being my future bridesmaids (God willing).

Thank you. Most importantly, thank you for supporting me and sticking by my side for the past four years. I thank God every day that He put you all in my life because without ya'll, I'd be a disaster.

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.

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.
