A Letter To The Me Of Last Year

Whose better at giving advice to myself than me?

Hey Me,

So lots of things have changed in the past year. Your friend circle has changed, you fell for the perfect guy only to have your heart broken, you changed your major, and probably the worst of all, you had to grow up. Well here I am to show you that a year later, you can still survive.

Let's start with your friends. Some of them were not very nice to you. They influenced you into doing things you didn't really want to do, and then made fun of you (you know who we're talking about). Yeah you don't want to drink every Friday night. No you don't want to go "slut it up" with any guy you see. My advice, let them walk away. You know how to be you, and you don't need the approval of someone that hurt you in a way that can't be forgiven.

We finally got a boyfriend. After years and years of trying to find the perfect guy, it really seemed like you did. You had the same morals, you liked the same things, your friends were also his friends, things couldn't have been better on paper. Sadly, the communication skills sucked. And you both were a little too immature in each other's eyes. You say things that hurt each other which ultimately leads to the demise of the relationship. You'll see when the end is coming, and you'll cry for a week even though the two of you only dated for three months. And even now as I'm writing this two months after the breakup, you'll still think about if given the chance, you would try to work things out again. So when the time comes, just let him walk away. Like the saying goes, "You are a storm to be reckoned with, and some people get scared of a little rain."

You may tell people you love nursing, but I being you, know you actually hate it. So you'll decide to change to biology and go to pharmacy school. Yay! People are going to look at you funny for changing, people are going to tell you that you can't do it, well blow them off because you can. And everything works out and you become so much happier. Don't let others tell you that you can't do something. Because we can do anything we set our mind to.

I won't ruin the fun, but something bad will happen this time next year. So bad, that it hurt you to get up and put a smile on your face the next morning. You have to learn to be the strong one. It's not time to be the immature and selfish girl you are now. You have to make decisions that could have long lasting consequences to your future. And it sucks. But you make it through. Also don't worry because everything works out in the end.

Truth be told its a great year. You meet new people and discover things you didn't even know were possible. Good luck.

Love,

Me (also technically you)

PS: The blue pants you think are really cute, actually look really bad. Don't buy them!

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.
