An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Ariana Stolar

Dear Best Friends,

Let me start out by saying that this letter is dedicated to you two (you know who you are). Thank you for being the absolute best friends a girl could ever have! I never knew what true friendship was until I met you two and we became friends. So many people out there today don’t understand what the meaning “true best friend” actually means. So many people in today’s society are more concerned with using people and seeing what a friendship has in store for them verses how both people can grow from this relationship. A friendship, just like any relationship, takes two to tango. A lot of girls college aged are more focused on being boy crazy, partying, going to the mall, alcohol, etc. I’ve had my fair share of being in toxic friendships where the other friend only cared about boys or herself and would never make time for me, but the friendship that I have with the two of you is completely different. We all make time to see each other even though our schedules are ridiculous and our lives are so time consuming with other things. We all get along. Yeah, we may get fed up or annoyed with each other from time to time but it never lasts long. We all have the same priorities: school, our jobs, investing time in our sorority, and each other. We never let a boy tear us apart. Unlike a past friendship you two are more concerned with our friendship rather than being boy crazy; we stand by each other and we really exemplify the motto “hoes before bros”. We always have each others’ backs, whether we're sick, having a mental breakdown due to classes, family issues, etc, we never leave each other stranded, especially when we need each other the most. Not only have I learned how to be a great friend to someone, but I learned how to be an even better person because of the two of you. You stand by me through my crazy and awkward life, still acknowledge me when I’m weird, you still love me even when I embarrass you (ex: “My friend thinks your cute”! “My friend is single and she wants your number”.), when I make a total fool of myself out in public, and have survived a whole spring break trip and road trip with me. I could literally pour my heart and soul out into this letter about how much I love you two but than I’d be writing a novel. I just wanted to thank you two for sticking my side through thick and thin. Thank you for loving me for me. I love you two.

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.
