Thank you for everything.

An Open Letter To My First College Best Friend
Marisa Vanzant

Dear College Best Friend,

Thank you for coming up to me that day before our freshmen year had officially begun in the Education meeting. I did not know anyone there that day, and I sat alone in the back because I'd shown up late due to an honors meeting that overlapped with it. You heard in my introduction that I was a Secondary English Education major, and so were you. You came up to me and asked if we could sit together in the classes we would probably have together. To this day, we are closer than ever. As I'm writing this, just last night we had a Mario Party night.

You have had to pick me up more than once due to car trouble, and you have even picked up my fiance's van from Lewisburg when he had appendicitis. When I was in the hospital with him, you made sure I'd eaten, and you got us clean clothes from our apartment. You are literally always there for me when I need you, and you don't know how much that means to me. You even brought your cat over to save me from the mouse in my apartment. That's true friendship.

We ask each other for advice and guidance. I know you're always there to listen to me, and I hope that you know I am always here for you if and when you need anything at all. Our late night game nights and double dates are some of my favorite nights even though we stay up til midnight and I have to get up at 6 the next day. It's worth it.

Thank you for being there for me, helping me, listening to me, and picking me up with my wacky car problems. Thank you for waiting with me during John's surgery. Thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Your College Best Friend

P.S. We do not take enough pictures together with just the two of us.

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.
