Dear T,

It was August 9th, 2013 when you and Camilla said "Happy Belated Birthday" and I can't thank you enough for it. We have been inseparable for 5 years now. We have come up with nicknames for one another and built unbreakable bonds with the people around us. We have gone through horrible times and we have gone through incredible memories. As I sit here and write this letter to you, there are tears in my eyes simply thinking of all of the amazing things we have gone through.

It feels as if it were just yesterday when we were roaming the halls of high school trying to keep up with everything. Now, we are roaming our college campus still trying to keep it together but on a different level. This is our last year being "teenagers" and I simply wanted to write you this letter before this year was over.

Thank you for treating me like family. Every time I go around your family I feel so loved. Nana and mom have always been so sweet to me. Now we even have a new member of the family! I am so excited to see her grow up. I know you will be the absolute best person for her. I thank you for allowing me to get so close to your family. I am also extremely happy that you have come to know my family. My parents love you and everyone knows you.

Cheers to all of our memories. I live for our downtown dates filled with delicious foods and uncontrollable laugh. Some of the best memories we have are simply lying down talking about life and venting to one another. You have always been there and I appreciate you so much for that.

I can't wait for all of our future travels. Chicago was simply phenomenal and I cannot wait until we make another trip out. We have also stayed local visiting friends in Kalamazoo which has also been extremely exciting and fun.

Cheers to our futures. I live for the conversations we have on those nights that life gets tough as we think about our futures. I know you will do amazing things in life. You will make a difference in this world. And I cannot simply wait to be by your side seeing you grow and become such a strong individual.

College will be tough the next couple of years but I simply want to tell you that I will be here. I will be here when you pass your finals to takes you out for shakes and celebrate the occasion. I will also be there on those nights where life gets tough and everything seems to be falling apart. I will be there with sushi and any other comfort food you request. I do not ever want you to feel like you are alone because ever since 2013 I have never felt alone, knowing you are always by my side whenever I need you.

Sincerely,

Your best friend (Angel)

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.
