Thank you for always being there for me through everything.

An Open Letter To My Maid Of Honor
Marisa Vanzant

Dear Maid of Honor:

Thank you. Honestly I could probably end the letter right there, but that would be kind of mean, and I have so much more I can say. We've known each other for over two years, but it seems like a lifetime has gone by in those two years. We became best friends. We lived together. We went on "friend dates" because we were both lonely. You played a part in me meeting my fiance. You have changed my life in countless ways, and I can never thank you enough. You're always there for me when I need you, whether it be to ask if I'm being crazy about something, to ask you to take a shift or switch with me for work, to take engagement photos, or to help make my save the dates. I know I can count on you for anything.

We met during our first semester as freshmen in college. Thankfully, we had two classes together. We were in the same lab group in Q200, which brought us even closer together. We bonded over stupid boys, unfair professors, and typical college freshmen problems. We cried to each other when life got hard, or when a family member passed away. I always know I can trust in you, and I hope you know the same for me.

Moving onto the move in: We lived together for three months. I will always look back on last summer as my transition into adulthood, and the cementing of our forever friendship. There's nothing quite like spending an entire summer with your best friend, going on midnight cruises or out of town shopping trips all the time. Yes, we were broke, but yes, we had a great time going there.

Thank you for being my Maid of Honor. I know you'll be there to help me send invites, keep track of guest lists, make decorations, do my makeup, help me pee in my wedding dress, and most importantly, keep me sane. I can't wait to hear your speech, and it will be an honor to have you standing next to me on my big day.

Thank you best friend.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
