An Open Letter To My College Friends

We may not have been friends very long yet, but I know that this friendship is one I hope to have for many years.

First of all, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for the nights when you let me come back to rant.

I know that when I’ve had a long day or need someone to lean on that you’re there. You listen to me whine about pointless things that don’t even really impact me. You even listen when I’m going on useless tangents about the latest drama, or the fact that I think I want to change my life plan for the 50th time that day alone.

Thank you for the nights when I just want to go get food.

It’s crazy just how much you support late night snacks with me. You run to the café or just heat up some mac ‘n cheese with me. Thank you for all of the nights when I want a late night shake and you go with me. Whether it is while we’re sitting in our rooms or after a practice. You do it, and that’s what matters.

Thank you for making the ordinary things, extraordinary.

Thank you for making things like going to the store or going to band practice so much fun! You know how to make something like eating dinner into something more like a comedy show. Thank you for making me laugh even when we’re just sitting in the lounge doing work or at least trying to do work. Donating blood was never such a fun thing until I met all of you.

Thank you for relaxing with me.

Thank you for the nights when you watch movies with me to relax. I think this is the one I appreciate most. You realize when we all just need a break to watch Newsies, High School Musical, Grease, or Beauty and the Beast.Those relaxing nights just laughing and singing are what I’ll remember most from college, not the tests. Thank you for the memories we’ve shared and those yet to come.

Thank you for giving me that extra push I need.

Although I may never want to agree to this one, I always will appreciate it. Even when I want to just hangout, you always understand when I need to study more. Without your support, my success wouldn’t be possible. A group of people to lean on and care about is absolutely necessary for success. You all are that to me.

Thank you for being so kind and accepting me.

You accepting me even with my bit of a weird side is much appreciated. When you compliment me and send nice messages, it’s something that really helps me get through a busy day. Thank you for encouraging me on the worst of my days. It truly means a lot.

Lastly, Thank You for Being YOU!

We may not have been friends very long yet, but I know that this friendship is one I hope to have for many years.

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.
