An Open Letter To My College Best Friend

Sometimes the people we've known for only a short time have a bigger impact than those we've known forever

To the person that has become my person in a matter of months,

How on earth did I get lucky enough to come across an amazing little gem like you? I’ve gone my entire life without knowing you even existed, and today there is no possible way I could survive college without you. You are always there with me for late night study sessions at the library, you go to church with me, and celebrate college football wins with me and my family. You hold me when I need to cry, let me vent about stupid boys, and call me out when I am not being my true self – something only a true friend can get away with. You live life with me, you give life to me. All of us listened to the same story on repeat all throughout our high school graduations; you know, the same speech you hear from your aunt, your best friend’s mom, your neighbor. The one that goes “I’m so excited for you! You are going to meet so many people in college! You’ll have so many great friends!” Well, that story is such an understatement. You are more than a great friend. You are the best friend in so many different ways. I know it is cheesy, but God gave me you (and man oh man, am I glad he did). High school was great, and I still endlessly love all the friends I made during the eighteen years I spent in my hometown, but nothing compares to the one year I have spent with you. You are easily my biggest blessing, my right hand, and the person I have always prayed for. I could go on and on about you, about every wonderful and overwhelming moment we have shared, about the amazing woman you are and who I have watched you become. However, I treasure you enough to not splatter our best memories, inside jokes and vulnerable moments all over the internet. Remember, though, just because I am not documenting every single second with you does not mean that I’m not excited to tell our future children all about our glory days together. I cherish every moment I have had with you, love every day I am living with you, and am ecstatic to see what the Lord has in store for us. I love you more than you know.

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.
