To the Lily to my Robin,

So we met almost two years ago, and we have recently realized something. I am Robin. You are Lily. Literally, this is who we are.

You are currently an education major and like working with young children. Lily is a kindergarten teacher who also likes to work with children. She is shorter than her boyfriend/fiance/husband Marshall, and you are shorter than your boyfriend. You're also shorter than me, so that works. You are a voice of reason and a good mediator for situations (if we ever did a slap bet, you'd still be the mediator). You also have your moments where you let loose and have fun. You help to keep me grounded and give me the best advice, which Lily also does for her friends, especially Robin.

I am a broadcasting major and want to work in the television industry. Robin works on television as a news anchor. She is loud and boisterous, and when we first meet her, she is a single Pringle, an independent woman who don't need no man. I hope that I am like this, which you tell me I am every time we talk about this. You have also told me that if I were to be with someone, they would be a combination between Ted and Barney, which I totally agree with. Robin was also a pop star in Canada, and I love singing too.

Robin and Lily are always there for each other. They support each other. There's nothing they wouldn't do for each other. They are, unquestionably, the best of friends.

You always have my back. You are an amazing friend that I can turn to in any situation. You are always willing to help me. I can come talk to you about anything and I know you won't judge, and vice versa. You are like an older sister to me. You are my confidante, the person here that I can tell and talk to about anything. You always know how to make me smile and laugh, but you also know how to make me feel better when I'm down. I am forever grateful that we became friends during the first week of our very first year, and who knew that we would be best friends two years later?

You always make me feel welcomed no matter what (even when I'm totally third-wheeling during your lunch dates with your boyfriend). I am totally lucky to have you in my life, and can't wait to see the adventures we'll have together. I thank God every day for bringing us together because I don't know what I would do without my best friend. Thank you for brightening up my day every day, even if I don't see you. Thank you for accepting me for who I am, from the sullen and sad side of me to the bubbly Robin Sparkle that lives within. You are my rock, and you are always there for me no matter what. Love you, Lily!

With love,
Robin

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.
