An Open Letter To My Long Distance Friends

Hi guys, I miss you.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Friends
Natalee Hanway

Hey guys, I miss you. I miss getting up in the morning and asking you if I look stupid (English majors have trouble dressing themselves). I miss walking to get fro-yo with you. I miss staying up late and talking about boys and how stupid they are. I miss you.This year has been ridiculously hard, not just because of school, or because of people being more stupid than normal; it's hard because you're not here.

Don't get me wrong, I understand and I get why you both had to go your own respective ways, but I totally almost tear up when I think about you guys. We spent quite a bit of time together, and I love seeing you post things and comment on Facebook and Instagram.

I love hearing about your History of Rock and Roll class, and seeing pictures of you and your boyfriends, but I miss not being the one you came home and talked to about them. You both are so positive and such warm souls that your absences are felt by everyone who knew you.

From golf practice to theater try-outs, you both made things so much easier to deal with. Neither of you ever judged me or my moodiness, you were always there when I need someone to laugh or cry with, and never failed to roll with anything life threw your way. I miss you guys so freaking much.

So please, continue to post and like and comment on things; continue to snap and text. I love you guys and always want to hear about your lives and new things that are happening to you. I love seeing you, visiting you or FaceTiming you (which we need to start doing).

So even though you're both hundreds of miles away, I will always love you, and I will always like those random pictures you get tagged in by your mom or whoever else. Because you both are stuck with me. I may be crap about texting you as often as I should, or snapping you back promptly, but I'd totally get in a car or plane and be there in a heartbeat.

Love you both, and see you soon.

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.

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.
