8 Reasons Why My Best Friends Forever Are, In Fact, Forever
@sorority_girls

My friends mean the world to me. They are there for me through the ups and downs of life. They make me smile and they make me cry (happy tears). Here are 8 reasons why I know they will be around forever

1. They are there for me whenever I need them.

I can call on them at 8 AM or at 2 AM and my best friends would be there for me.

2. I don’t remember life without them.

Whether I have known them for six months or six years, I don’t remember life without them. I feel like they have always been around.

3. We have the same values.

We value the same things in life. At the core, this is what keeps us close.

4. We get through everything together.

 

My high school best friends and I went through college applications together. My college best friends and I have gone through freshman year and all the struggles together. We stick by each other's sides.

5. We know too much about each other.

Not saying that just because I know everything about my best friends and can read their minds means we are going to be friends forever. It is the fact that we understand each other and know where our thoughts and feelings come from.

6. We know how to listen to each other.

It sounds like a simple task, but very few people are as attentive as my best friends. They wait for me to finish my, sometimes long, rants. They know, also, that I love listening to them as well.

7. We never sugarcoat with each other.

I’m never afraid to be honest with them, and they are never afraid to be honest with me, even if the truth will sometimes hurt. If I think a guy is just not that into them, I don’t create excuses. I know they would do the same for me. They don’t create “what ifs” to temporarily make me feel better. We’re way too close to sugarcoat anything.

8. Their family feels like my family.

We treat each other’s family like they are our own. Their parents are my extra set of parents and I have more siblings because of them.

 

So to my best friends, thanks for always being there in the past, being here now and being there for me in the future. I know you have my back and I will always have yours. Best friends forever.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
