An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Miles and miles don't change a thing.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Kendall Bundy

Dear Best Friend,

I know we have had some great times, some not so great times, and some times in-between, but I have loved it all. I know we aren't always together, but the time we spend apart makes the time we spent together even more special.

Remember all those nights we spent laying on the floor eating Ben & Jerry's and talking about how we should drop out of school and move to a tropical island? Or all those times we spent hours getting ready just to go out and realize we'd rather be binge watching Netflix and eating lots of popcorn? Remember all the times I came to you for advice and you gave me your honest opinion and I did the opposite of what you told me, but you stood by my side through it all? Thank you for those nights. And thank you for being my best friend even when we aren't able to do those things because miles and miles stand between us.

I know we don't talk every day, but we don't have to. That's how our friendship works. We just know that not every moment has to be spent texting or calling each other. Our friendship is timeless and no matter how long we go without seeing each other, nothing ever seems to change when we are reunited.

Thank you for knowing just what to say to get me through the worst of days even half way across the country. It is the worst feeling not being able to walk down the hall and lay on your floor and vent about our day. I miss all of our silly conversations that didn't have any point, but meant the world to me.

Thank you for making me laugh so hard I cry. Thank you for always being up for ice cream if it's 3 p.m. or 3 a.m. Thank you for giving the best hugs. And, even when you don't want to, saying goodbye to me. Thank you for knowing me, better than I know myself.

It's hard looking back at all our pictures and videos and knowing it will still be a long time before I see you, but as they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all, a life long friend. Knowing you'll be just a phone call away, no matter how much distance stands between us, makes life seem a little less scary. I couldn't ask for a better forever partner in crime.

Love you to the moon and back,

Your BFF

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.
