An Open Letter To The Group Chat

Dear Group Chat,

Thank you for putting me in this group chat in the first place.

You guys must obviously like me enough to put me in the group chat, so yes to friends!

Thank you for always providing me with someone to talk to.

Walking to class, standing in line alone or having to let someone know you see your ex out in public, a group chat always gives you someone to text through these awkward times.

Thank you for allowing me to post unnecessary videos and links.

Whether we all have a nice laugh or I'm the only one who finds the "Damn Daniel" video funny, there's always a place to send the videos because they might be your only friends.

Thank you for a place where I can give a general announcement about anything I post on social media.

After posting something on social media, always give your group chat a heads up that you finally posted that "fire flame" pic you have always wanted to post. Don't worry, you'll have at least your group chat to like or retweet your stuff

Thank you for sending those embarrassing photos.

Hopefully it was a picture from last weekend, but if it's a embarrassing photo of you in Bermuda shorts on a family vacation that's OK, too.

Thank you to that one person who always answers no matter what.

Sometimes friends will be busy and what not, but there's that one friend who will answer at any time. Even if its a simple "LOL" about something that might not even be funny, thanks for caring LOL.

Thank you for giving me a place to get updates on drama and what not.

"Oh my god did you see her post?!" Whether near or far, it's always a good time to gossip about the latest posts and Snaps. Realistically, one wouldn't know half the things I know now.

Thank you for participating in my rants.

Yeah, I might be blowing up the group chat, but my friends will have my back no matter what. Giving their honest opinions when I won't want to hear it, the topic will be up for discussion.

Finally, thank you for providing a place where my friends and I can come together.

Whether my friends are near or far, the group chat keeps us together.

Sincerely,

One of the many group chat members

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
