Open Letter to My Bestfriend

I'm going to miss you in college

Open Letter to My Bestfriend
Patricia LaRusso

To My Best Friend,

I don't know if you already know this, but you are one of my favorite people in the entire world. I am so glad that we met when we did and that we became so close. You know everything about me and have been there for me through thick and thin. Although we are not related by blood, I consider you to be my sister. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for you so I guess this is my way of saying thank you for being the best friend I could ever ask for and for helping me to become the best version of me that I can be. I love you.

As we both know, I'm leaving for college in less than a couple of weeks which means that we will be an hour and forty-five minutes away from each other. Although we've been apart for periods of time before, I'm afraid that this might be different. I'm not bringing a car to college so my ability to come home and visit for a weekend will be limited. I know that you would come visit me if you had the chance to but I also know that you have your own college course work and that you will more than likely be working on the weekends. I know that we have a strong friendship and that we won't lose contact with each other, but I'm still a little nervous about the time apart.

We have so many great memories together. Driving around town talking about anything and everything that comes to our minds has got to be my favorite thing to do with you. You got me addicted to coffee, and I'm not sure if I want to thank you or punch you for that... (just kidding I love you). You have helped me come to the conclusion that Taco Bell and Sonic are both equally amazing. And for some reason we always make a designated stop at a grocery store, even though there's really nothing for us to do there. Everything's an adventure with you. I don't even think there's a time that we've been together that wasn't fun.

You taught me to be strong, independent and confident. Without you, I don't know where I'd be today. I mean I definitely wouldn't be sitting next to you in your car writing this because I procrastinated about writing this.

Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for being my unbiological sister. Thank you for letting me vent about all of my problems (big ones and stupid ones). Thank you for making me feel important when you vent to me about your own life. And most of all thank you for being you.

I honestly love you more than I love myself. Please stay in contact with me while we are in college. I can't wait to vent to you about all the good and bad that happens in this first semester.

Love,

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.
