Perks of Finding Your "Person"

There is something special about meeting that one person who just gets you. Whether it is a college roommate, a best friend since birth, a cousin, a sister or a big, this person has made your life better since they have been in it, and it is hard to imagine where you would be without them. 

 

From the beginning of the friendship, they have always understood what you mean when you say weird things. They laugh at the same things you do, have the same vocabulary, and are the one person who will forever answer your text when you are freaking out because of the social interaction you had in the elevator with your crush from the floor below -- and they will freak out, too. They are your person.

 
 

Relationships like these do not come often and when they do it is important to hold onto them. There’s not always going to be someone who will sit with you in your dorm room while you cry because of how homesick you are and how much you miss the simpler days of high school. It is hard to find someone who will make you their number one priority and try their best to calm you down while you have the inevitable semester mental breakdown. Your person is a diamond in the rough, a pearl in an oyster, and someone you should be proud to have found.

 

As well as being the ultimate shoulder to cry on, your person is the best person to go out and party with, a designated beer pong partner. It is no surprise when you upload a weekly Instagram with them every Friday night at your favorite fraternity.

It is possible to have more than one of these kinds of people in your life and that just makes everything better. Regardless of how long you have known them, there will always be memories that will keep you entertained and reminiscing. There is never a dull moment with your person and it is a great feeling knowing there are more incredible memories to come.

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.
