A Love Letter To My Nike Shorts, Who Never Let Me Down
Taylor Ashore

Dear Nike Shorts (Norts),

Thank you for being there for me during the good and the bad. During my trips to my gym and my 8 AM classes, you've always been there to lend a stylish hand.

We've had some good runs and bad runs (literally) and we've had some of the best and worst first impressions. From showing up to my early morning classes with you to proudly wearing my Norts at Block, we've been through the best and worst of times.

You're friends with my Birks, Chacos, and gym shoes, so I never have an issue picking out a pair of shoes to compliment you well. Hats are a perfect addition to the look, but on good hair days, we look even better together.

Thank you for pulling all-nighters in the library with me and not being afraid to be seen in public two days in a row.

I'm sorry for hiding you under my oversized t-shirts sometimes, but you've been able to appearances in my cross country meets so you've had your chance to shine. There's a few of you I wear more than others but know that I love you all the same.

You've matched with all of my shirts, no matter what school I've gone to or what tee I was wearing that day. Thanks to your rainbow of colors, I've never had to debate on what color to buy.

You've always been there for me, and I hope you think the same about me. I've tried to give you a good home and keep you clean and happy, making sure to never leave you behind after a night at a friend's. I make sure to take you out frequently and absolutely never be ashamed of the bold style statement you make.

I will forever be grateful for your comfort, your colors, and most of all, your ease to get me between the gym and class. You will always hold a special place in my heart and my closet.

With lots of love,

Taylor

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.

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.
