Open Letter To My Best Friend That Isn't At College With Me

Remember that I'm always a call away.

Open Letter To My Best Friend That Isn't At College With Me
Derrika Soto Gerena

Dear bestie,

You are out following your dream, while I am following mine. You chose your own path and, sadly, that did not lead you to come to school with me. But that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about you. Not even close. While you are not here with me psychically, you are here in spirit. And with the help of some technology.

Our constant string of Snapchats, FaceTimes, texts, and calls makes it feel like you're right here with me. It always helps to know that I can reach you in two-point- five seconds. Also, probably the fact that there are pictures of us all over my dorm. You have been my day one since junior year of high school. And I am beyond grateful for all the love and good times that we have shared.

Thank you for always being there for me when no one else was. We have helped each other out through some tough times, but to be honest, I wouldn't have wanted to go through them with anyone else. But let's remember all the good times that we have had. All of the late night drives and going out to dinner, even though we were both on the verge of being broke. Endless laughs are sure to be present any time that we hang out. Hanging out with you is a crazy rollercoaster ride, well with your driving skills it basically is. These good times are what I think of when I'm missing you the most.

Since that won't be happening anytime soon, it's time to reminisce. Don't worry all of my friends know that you're my number one. I talk about you way too much! *insert eye roll because I don't even like you that much* I wish that you were at college with me so that we could have some crazy adventures. So that I could have a going out buddy. So that I could have someone that would go to McDonald's with me at midnight for some chicken nuggets.

I live for the weekends that I come home and we can hang out. Not having you by my side every day is beyond rough. We make sure that whatever amount of time that we have together, we make the most of it. You make me forget that after the weekend I have to go back to school work and not having you there.

Even though leaving you was hard, I would do it all over again. We are both out there chasing our dreams. Just remember that you're my number one (I better still be yours, because if not we're going to have some major problems)! And to answer your phone, if I'm calling or texting that means that I have some dirt to share with you!

From,

The girl that has an empty futon waiting for whenever you want to come visit

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.
