An Open Letter To My Cult
Samantha Hunt

Dear Fellow Cult Members,

Wassup squad?! I sure do love my Cult Crew! Rufus, Peggy, Leisel, and Mick, we joined this cult as complete strangers ten years ago, when we were all nerdy college Freshman, and look at us now. We all wanted a place where we could belong. I remember how at first, we were all super hesitant and not into the rituals and stuff, but then we all spent more and more time together and began sippin' that cult koolaid (literally), and we all started buying into the system.

Do you remember the night of our first blood pact? It was at the end of our first semester freshman year. We were five people from different walks of life, a modern day Breakfast Club. Rufus, with your red hair and buck-teeth, Peggy, with the lazy eye, Leisel from West Virginia, Mick, with your untreated rabies, and me with my charm and grace. We are all so different, and yet, our mutual desire to be a part of something and make friends after every other club we tried to join said no has turned us into one cohesive unit.

Remember over spring break, when we all went to Lake Placid and sacrificed every goat we could find, just so we could all feel like we had something in common? That sure was fun. As we sat by the Lake, with a goat head in each of our laps, drinking our Cherry Cokes (the official Cult beverage), we all sighed simultaneously and exclaimed, "LIFE IS GOOD!"

You people are my everything, you know that? I joined initially as kind of a joke, but now I've worked my way up to being your leader and have wholeheartedly embraced this once-in-a-lifetime role. I love spending every hour with you. I love sharing one large cot with you all each night. I love our conversations constantly only of Gifs in our GroupMe.

I'm not getting paid to say these things, and frankly, I'd refuse the payment if someone offered it to me. Because even though I've alienated all of my family and friends, even though we now live in a cardboard hut outside of a Papa John's, even though we really could be doing something to go out and make the world a better place, I'm glad that we choose to live the way we do. You are all the best Cult a girl could have, and I wouldn't have it any other way <3

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.
