A Letter To The Best People I've Met In College
Haley Houchin

To my friends graduating,

As I sit here in my apartment all alone while my friends and roommates are graduating, it made me think about how grateful I am to have met them. So, here's a list of thank you's.

Thank you for being some of my best friends through our college years. In college you really do meet your true friends and i could not be happier to call you one of my best friends. I do not know how i would have gotten through college without you guys and frankly I'm not sure what I am going to do now that you are gone. You took me under your wing when i was just a freshman and showed me the ropes; like how to take a y-bomb and how to do my eyebrows. If it wasn't for ya'll, I wouldn't be where I am today and I also wouldn't know how to fill in my eyebrows or look like a presentable human.

Thank you for motivating me to do well in school. As I watch you all graduate, it is only making me want time to slow down but also makes me excited to be the one to walk across the stage. As you took me under your wing, you always made sure I stayed on top of my school work and studied instead of going out on the week nights. You taught me how to balance everything college has to offer and for that I am forever grateful because without that guidance, that diploma would be very far away from my reach.

Thank you for being a best friend to someone younger than you. As college was teaching me tough life lessons, you were there to guide me through them and give "motherly" advice and make college a home away from home. Without you I wouldn't have been able to pass that test or get through that break up freshman year.

Overall, thank you for being you. You are such a beautiful human that I am so lucky to have in my life and call a best friend. Without you, i wouldn't be who I am today. Without you, I wouldn't have made the best memories of my college career.

Thank you for being you. I am sad to see you all go, but I am so happy to be a part of your life and college memories and cannot wait to see what the future holds.

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.
