Why I Love My Girl Squad

We give the Spice Girls a run for their money.

Why I Love My Girl Squad
Steve Baker

I've never really been a ‘people person.' That's not to say I don't like people, I've just never been one of those girls with a million different friends. I'm shy, sarcastic, and a little bit brash, so people can be a bit taken aback and assume that I'm much meaner than I am. (Really, I promise I'm not!)

Instead of having a million friends, I have six sisters. These girls have been a part of my life for as long as twelve years, and as little as two years, but they're some of the most important people in my life.

What makes us special is how different we all are. One of the girls is going to be on SNL some day, she gives Kate McKinnon a run for her money. One is going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and one is going to be the best field agent the FBI has ever seen.

We're all different, none of us are going to be majoring in the same field, and a lot of us aren't even applying to the same schools. We all found each other in different ways, whether it be a group of lifelong friends meeting up with us during lunch and deciding to stick around for 5 years, or an atrocious ex boyfriend leading us to bond over angry Kanye music and Halo Top ice cream.

We stay together because we need each other. We've grown together, all of our roots are intertwined. I know I'll always have someone to straighten the parts of my hair that I miss, or take me to cool bead stores to buy new bracelets. There will always be someone who will listen to me when I need to complain about a death on “Stranger Things,” and I'll always be there to control the aux while they drive, or rename our seasonally themed group chat.

Sooner or later, we're all going to be in different time zones, were all going to have jobs, we're all going to make new friends. At the end of the day, we all know that we'll always be watching the newest “American Horror Story” episode together, even if it's over Skype, and we're all only one Bitmoji text away.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
