Looking Back At It: A Letter To My High School Best Friend

I couldn't thank you more for sticking right by my side.

Looking Back At It: A Letter To My High School Best Friend
Ally Rosenfeld

Looking back at it,

you are my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my cheerleader and, most importantly, one of my best friends out there.

We have known one another for a crazy duration of 4 plus years. We have conquered so many obstacles together, enjoyed countless times of laughter from our inside jokes, cried over the smallest things and have vented out some of the most personal things to one another. Looking back at it, high school was such an amazing experience with you being such a large part of it. Beyond my academics and various classes, you were there when I needed you the most, and, for that, I would like to extend a large thank you.

For starters, our inside jokes and laughs are so fantastic and enticing. There are so many that I could list right now in this letter to you, but, quite frankly, no one else would understand what in the world we are even speaking about! I love having that special bond with you, that truly doesn't compare to anything else. Every friendship that an individual has with one another is unique in its own way. And, I am especially lucky that the friendship that we share has so many humorous aspects to it.

I would also like to thank you for accepting me for who I am, as you would know that I would and still will always do for you. You knew me during my younger years as an underclassman in high school, and were there to cheer me on and give me the immense amount of motivation to strive for the best. You only wanted and still do want me to achieve my largest goals that I have set for myself in life.

And, as you know, the feelings are completely and utterly mutual. A gigantic smile arises out of my face whenever I hear the great news that you aced a test you studied countless hours for, or maybe the try that you scored in your rugby game. You aren't only one of my best friends from my high school years, but I have no doubt whatsoever that we will remain so very close for the rest of our lives. Someone who has had such a big impact on me in such a positive way, deserves more than anything to be in my life wherever life ends up leading me. I promise to be there for you whenever you need me at any given time. Although our schools may not be right around the corner anymore, if you need me just know that I will be there.

We always talk about what we want to do with our lives when we grow up. Being bridesmaids for each other and hopefully teaching classes of children near one another. Our futures hold big and exciting expectations to come, but, for a moment, I would like to reminisce on the past.

Thank you for being there for me to talk to whenever I was experiencing typical boy drama, going on crazy wild adventures with me, having endless sleepovers and making sure that we both got to school at the same time each morning so that we could sit next to each other at breakfast. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime.

With lots of love, this note is most definitely for you,


Ally.

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.
