An Open Letter to My College Best Friends

Thanks for being there for the good, the bad, and the ugly.

An Open Letter to My College Best Friends

Coming to college can be very tough. You have to leave your high school friends, family, and hometown all at once. But, it is when we get to college that we meet some of the greatest friends. High school drama fades, and we meet people who share the exact same interests, laugh at the same jokes, and are there to help you through, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Dear Best Friends,

It is impossible to believe that we spent 18 years apart. We all became friends instantly, and I am so glad we never had to spend a moment of college apart. I instantly knew that we were all meant to be friends.

We are over half way done with freshman year, and I believe that if we can make it through this, the rest of college will be a breeze. You are always there to make dumb decisions with me and always eat late night McDonald's. 

Thank you for realizing the cure to anything is dancing like complete idiots. 

Thank you for doing absolutely nothing but watching Netflix with me, and loving it.

Thank you for listening to me vent about every single thing in the entire word and not complaining, no matter how dumb. 

Thank you for never letting me go out alone.

Thank you for always giving me advice, good or bad.

Thank you for making me laugh at stupid vines or hilarious tweets.

Thank you for encouraging me that one more slice of pizza is never a bad idea.

Thank you for always defending me, no matter what. 

Thank you for always allowing your closet to be my closet, too.

Thank you for always gossiping about anything with me.

Thank you for already offering to be my bridesmaids.

Thank you for agreeing that wherever the future takes us, we will always be best friends forever. And for knowing our kids will be best friends, just like us.

I cannot say thank you enough. College would be unbearable without you. Thank you for being you, my college and lifelong best friends.

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.
