An Open Thank You To My Best Friend
Haley Robbins

Dear Best Friend,

Thank you, first of all. You’ve been such a constant in my life when my life has been full of change. You’ve been the one person who’s constantly assured me that everything was going to be OK even when I thought my world was ending. For all that you’ve done for me, here is a list of things that I have forgotten to thank you for.

1. Helping me through my emotional breakdowns.

One of the biggest things that you have done for me is helping me through some tough and trying times. The times that I’ve called you crying, laid in your arms crying or just needed to vent about things that were going on. Every single time I needed that, you were there for me and I appreciate that so much. It takes a special person to be able to hold someone, just let them cry and then know exactly what to say to help them. Thank you.

2. Always being down for a food run.

Seriously though, shout out to you for always being down to going to McDonald’s, Taco Bell or Sonic with me at like 2 a.m. (even if that meant breaking curfew). It always helped that we were always in the same mood for the same food at the same time as well. Our 2 a.m. adventures always turned into sitting in one of our cars having a very therapeutic heart to heart. There was nothing that we couldn’t talk about together and that is something I cherish and hold dear to my heart. Thank you so much darling.

3. Going on countless adventures with me.

Thank you for always being down for going on some kind of adventure with me. Whether it be exploring a town close to the town our college is in, going to a new place to go "hammocking," trying a new restaurant or exploring a new place on campus we’ve both never been to, every time that we do something new together memories are bound to made. It’s always a fun time with you no matter what we are doing. You’re the one person in my life that I know I can count on to be down for something new and exciting. Thank you.

4. Pushing me closer to the Lord.

One of the most important things in both of our lives is our relationships with the Lord. Thank you for always pushing me closer and closer to Him with every rough situation that I might face. You’re my prayer warrior, my bible study buddy and the one that I can rely to go to a church service with me. Thank you for always worshiping Him with me and for always reminding me that He is the one constant thing in my life that will never change. He is my rock and my foundation. Thank you for that, that means more than you’ll ever know.

5. Loving me unconditionally.

Last, but certainly not least, thank you for loving me with a love that still amazes me to this day. We’ve been friends for almost three years and still every time I think about the way that you truly care for me and love me, I am so amazed. You are such a kind soul and I love you so so much. You’re truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I thank the Lord for you daily.

In conclusion, you’re my best friend and I appreciate you more than you may ever know and I thank you so much for all that you’ve done for me. You’re one of the brightest lights in this dark world that we live in and again I just want to say thank you for that. You’re truly a gem, my love.

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.
