An Open Letter To The People In My Life
Madison Ramfos

To the people in my life, including friends, family, teachers, or anyone that just knows my face, or my voice, or my laugh, thank you. Thank you for being in my life, and putting a smile on my face at the hardest times, thank you.

Especially to my best friend, who knows every aspect of my life and still accepts me and chooses me as her best friend, thank you. To my best friend at home, thank you for still being my best friend even though I'm away at school. Thank you for sticking out this friendship with me even though it's so hard. Thank you and I love you.

To my parents, thank you. Thank you for fully supporting me in any choices I make, even if they're not the best for me. Thank you for the unconditional love, and not only emotional support, but financial, mental, and physical. My parents, thank you for being my brick wall when everything else crumbles down, for being the ones who I go running to when I need a friend or advice.

To my sister, the one who doesn't really have a choice but to be my absolute best friend in any circumstance- you do a damn good job of it. You never fail to tell me if I'm being stupid, or being honest with me in every situation that I'm put in. You don't sugar coat it. You give it to me straight and I can't thank you enough for that. I've never appreciated someone more In my life than you, thank you.

To my brother, thank you for always making me laugh at the stupidest jokes and making constant memories that I'll never forget that we somehow turn into inside jokes. My brother never fails to make me the happiest human in this world. Your sarcasm, jokes and personality make me who I am and I wouldn't be who I am without you. I love you and thank you.

To my new college friends, thank you for accepting me for my true self, and making me open up in a whole new environment where I wasn't comfortable. Thank you for being my friends when I miss home, need a hug, or just need someone there. Thank you for being my new friends. I'll keep you all around, even after I graduate.

Even though she fits into almost every category in this article, most importantly, thank you to my mother. Thank you for being my number one person in my life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you. You mean the world to me. Thank you for being you and thank you for not making me a basic poor college student.

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.
