My best friend and I, after almost 10 years of being inseparable, decided to go to colleges located vertically opposite from each other. Not our best move, but we both went to our dream schools. She's at Villanova, 1,192 miles away. Since we had sleepovers almost every night, I know exactly how to live with her. So, without further ado, here’s your guide to living with my best friend.

You're super lucky. You get endless sleepovers with my favorite person in the world. But first, here are some things you need to know. She's a heavy sleeper-you're going to have to shake her awake if you need her. You should know that she's her funniest after 2 A.M. because she's over tired. If you want to keep Easy Mac, Nutella, Dunkin' Donuts glazed donuts, muffins or any type of cookies, hide them, those are her favorites. If you're ever stressed, go right to her. She's the best person to calm you down, even if she's dealing with something too.


She's very smart but will still be nervous for a test. Still, she'll come out of it with an A. If she's ever quiet, she's probably just tired. If she's ever angry, she's probably just hungry. If you're crying she'll probably cry too. And if she's crying- don't hug her yet or she'll cry more, but laugh that she was crying later. When you go out, she'll want to take a lot of pictures- and I mean a lot. She'll always look really good in them too. But she probably doesn't think she does so she'll ask for your opinion.


She's the most forgiving person you'll ever meet- just don't take it for granted. You can tell her anything and know that the secret is safe with her- and that's pretty rare right? She has the best eyelashes- you will be jealous. She'll always have funny nicknames for people , and sometimes you'll lose track of who'swho. Don't try to go on a casual run with her- she'll run like 6 miles. If you have a bad day- just ask her to make you laugh. That should be enough for now. All together, just don't forget how incredibly lucky you are to get to spend everyday with her- until the summer then she's mine again!!

Much love,

Dylan

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.
