An Open Letter To The Girl Who Knows Too Much

My best friend.

An Open Letter To The Girl Who Knows Too Much
Amanda Colella

Best friend,

Knowing each other since middle school means knowing a lot of things that others do not. We went through our awkward phase together, had our good times, our bad times. There for it all. All I know is, I will never cross you the wrong way, you know too much.

When we first met, back in middle school, I did not know that I was meeting my forever friend. In middle school we experienced our first crushes who we made weird code names for, dressed absolutely ridiculously, looked absolutely ridiculous, but we did it together. No one knows about all of the weird inside jokes we had, or our sleepover traditions. Except our moms…but that's OK. Today we look back on all that and cringe, wondering what the hell we were thinking.

Then in high school, we branched out. Made more friends, hung out in groups. But again, still had each other. I knew all throughout high school that if I needed something, you were the one I could go to. We had all of our friends, but you were my go-to. Graduation grew closer, and I had to imagine going away two hours without my best friend; the person who has been there for me for most of my life at this point. But we’ve made it work.

Here at college, hours and miles apart from each other, you're still the one I go to. You still know all of my embarrassing awkward stage stories (and have pictures), still know all of my secrets I held in high school, and today know all of my secrets and fears I have now. You’re the one person I can go to and not have to worry about being judged, the one I can sit in a room with and eat tons of food with, the one I can never get sick of no matter how much time we spend together. Do we sound like a couple? Probably. Do I care? No. Can’t wait for the day we live together in a perfect apartment, the day we’re in each other's weddings, and the day our kids become best friends. You know too much, I know too much. There’s no getting rid of each other now.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
