To The Person Sitting Next To Me In Class

You may not know my name, but I don't know yours, so it's OK.

Hey there!

We've been sitting next to each other for about 15 weeks now. We usually say hi, ask how each other are, talk about class and ask what we missed in class if we weren't there one day. We usually have some good conversations, and I look forward to seeing you when I get to class. You keep me company sometimes. Although we don't usually have in-depth conversations, I still consider you a friend. There's a good chance we have worked in a group together whether it was in class or out of class.

Regardless of how much contact we have had, I have no idea what your name is. When we are supposed to write our names on a piece of paper for an assignment, I usually just hand you the paper and let you write it yourself. Like an idiot, I never check to see what it is. We probably have other classes together, too, especially if we have the same major.

If I have your number, you're probably in my phone as "boy/girl from whatever class we have together." I know that's kind of rude, but I think it is more rude to ask you what you're name is after we have been sitting next to each other for months now. I mean, which would you prefer? I don't know how I missed your name in the first place, but I'm sorry. I just forgot.

When I see you outside of class whether it is at a party or just around campus, I never know if I'm supposed to say hi or talk to you like we do in class. Sometimes we pass each other like we have no idea who the other one is, and other times we stop and have a small conversation. It is always hit or miss, and sometimes, I don't know how to act. I don't know if I'm supposed to or not, but we go back to class acting like it never happened. I guess it's fine? I'm not really sure how it works.

If you don't know my name either, that's fine. I mean, I don't know yours either, so why would I be mad? I want to say thank you for being such a good classmate and friend while we are in class. You're a big help when I miss class or I'm not paying attention. I know I can rely on you when I miss or don't understand something. Also, don't be afraid to say hi to me when we are anywhere not in the classroom.

Your classmate,

Stephanie (there, now you know my name).

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.
