Because you're the reason I'm sane.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Where do I start? We’ve known each other since freshman year of college, and I still remember the day we met at freshman orientation. It seems so long ago, and looking back we were so young. I never knew how much you would come to mean to me, and how many memories we would share together. So much has changed since then, and looking back, most of my favorite college memories are with you.

Thank you for being there for me when I needed you the most. You’re always just a text away, and I know I can text you without any explanation and you’ll be at my apartment in seconds. No matter how busy you are at the moment, you make time for me when I need it. You comfort me when times get rough and listen to me rant about whatever is on my mind, even if you don’t agree with me. Thank you for pretending to agree with me even when you don’t, because most of the time you’re right anyways.

You’ve been there through the good times and the bad — through multiple boys, bad grades, and emotional breakdowns. Not very many people would put up with me like you do. Thank you for not judging me even when I’m at my worst. I know I can always call and talk to you about whatever is on my mind, because you patiently listen and give your wise advice.

Thank you for going to McDonald’s with me late at night when I desperately need a Big Mac. It’s really those little things that mean the most. The laughs we’ve shared, the tears we’ve cried — college wouldn’t be the same without you. What would I do without you to call on my long car rides? Or to text every second of every day? Even though I liked it better when your read receipts were on, I still need your daily input on my major daily life crises. This summer, I really don’t know what I would have done without you at the other end of the phone. The only reason I made it to five pm every day at my job is because of you. You’re a true life saver.

I know we will be best friends for life, and I’m so glad I have you to spend college with. I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. You know me better than anyone else, and for that I am so thankful. Nothing beats our long talks and daily gossip. Years from now we will look back on our college days and laugh at the memories we’ve shared. The long nights at the library, our terrible jobs, the obnoxious business courses, and the shopping trips will forever be remembered. We’ve been through everything together, and looking back to the first day we met I never would have guessed it. The best things really do come when you least expect it. Thank you for being my best friend, my sister, my partner in crime. I love you so much, and I couldn’t do life without you.

Sincerely,

Your BFF

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.
