A Love Letter To My Best Friends of 10 Years And Counting
Austin McDonogh

Dear Friends,

First, I would like to start out by saying that I cannot believe we are this old and that we have been friends for this long. They say time flies when you are having fun and that cannot be truer of the 10 years I have spent with all of you. For spending the last decade at my side I believe that all of you deserve a letter of my love and appreciation of our friendship.

In this day and age, good friends are hard to come by, nonetheless, friendships that last for as long as ours. You all have been my very best friends since grade school and high school and now continuing through college. You have stood by me through thick and thin and have been apart of every major milestone for the last 10 years. As I look back on the previous years, I realized that my most treasured memories involve all of you. Being friends for 10 plus years is not an easy feat. We have had our ups and downs and of course, our fair share of over dramatic teenage drama. The friendships you all have given me have been a steady constant in my life and I cannot be more grateful.

There are so many things I need to thank all of you for. Thank you for making me laugh until I am out of breath, cry, or pee my pants. Thank you for listening to me complain at a Mexican restaurant for three hours. Thank you for only being one phone call away when I need you. Thank you for accompanying me to White Castle at 4 a.m. Thank you for being the best squad anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself. Thank you for always being my friends to come back too no matter how far I go. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on and my biggest cheerleaders. Thank for supporting me in everything I do, even if you didn’t agree with it. Thank you for never saying, “I told you so.”

Thank you for forcing me to go out and have a good time. Thank you for sending funny screenshots and gifs in our group message. Thank you for embarrassing me time after time; it keeps my humble. Thank you for always dancing with me, even when you know I am a terrible dancer. Thank you for the road trips, spring breaks, and all the other crazy adventures. Thank you for sticking by me through the best and worst moments of my life and helping me in any way you can. Thank you for being just as weird as me.

These 500 words don't even begin to scratch the surface of my gratitude and love for all of you. You all are my best friends, sisters and soul mates and I cannot imagine my life without you. I am so lucky to have found a group of friends as amazing as you all are. You constantly inspire me and you have all contributed to making me the person I am today. Here’s to 10 years of laughs, memories and unwavering friendship; and to the next 50.

Love you long time.

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.
