Nine Reasons I Love My Long-Distance BFF

I know we don't see each other every day anymore, but somehow we've stayed best friends. I'm so thankful for that, because I honestly don't know what on earth I would do without you. Every year, our friendship gets stronger because we both want the best for each other, and we are cheering each other on in every aspect of life.

It's been really cool to grow up with you. You know me more than I even know myself sometimes! It's always good to have someone who has been there with us through it all. I can't thank you enough for being my friend. You're one of the best people I know, and I'm truly lucky to have you in my life.

1. No matter how long it's been since I've last seen you, we always pick up right where we left off like nothing has ever changed. Even if it has been months, I know that our friendship will always stay strong, and there won't be any glimpse of awkward pauses.

2. We can go weeks without talking, but we both know that we'll be there for each other if anything goes wrong.

3. You're my No. 1 support system. When I'm having one of those days where I spend two minutes looking for the nutrition facts on my shampoo bottle and I'm accidentally washing the dishes with hand-soap, I know you'll be there to make me smile.

4. We don't even need to talk. Sometimes just seeing your face on a Skype call is enough to make all the stress go away.

5. We wear each other's school logo like it's our own, and we're super-proud to go visit.

6. All of your new friends are my friends too, and when I visit you it's like I already know them because of all of your stories. (Casually joining in on conversation like, "Yeah, remember that time you …" )

7. We appreciate the time that we DO get to spend together so much more.

8. We have to rely on extreme Facebook-stalking for each other's significant others (which makes for a hilarious phone call when you find that picture from wacky tacky day in the seventh grade).

9. You're the person who I know that I can call, no matter what (and if you're busy, I can leave a rude voicemail making sure you call me back ASAP).

I can't wait till we're old ladies, sitting in rocking chairs and drinking martinis. Basically, what it boils down to is that you're pretty stinkin' cool, and I enjoy having you in my life, whether we're two feet from each other or two countries apart. You rock, don't ever change.

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.
