Some Friendships Belong In The Past
Kelsey Higgins

As A three time transfer student, I understand the necessity of ever changing friendships. I am aware of the colossal heartbreak that leaving your friends in one place to start a new life has and am also aware of the fact that sometimes those great friends, just aren’t that great. The good part about this is that Someday we will all wake up and understand why situations happened, why people changed, why someone dumped us and why we ended up where we are now. But I know in the moment that the giving up happens, you wait for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes people are just gone and you wake up one day wondering what changed? Why did this person decide to walk out of my life? And you know what I finally decided, if someone gets up and walks away, show them the door.

1.If you try to force anyone to be in love with you or even in like with you no matter what is going to end badly. If someone didn’t have those feelings before, they probably will resent you for trying to force them.

2.When a person walks out of your life, that Is a decision they made. Let them walk and you’ll thank yourself for not running after them, good luck to them and the next friend they do that do.

3.Do you really need friends who are unpredictable? Who will one day need your advice, or even emotionally drain you from their constant need for emotional support and the next decide they don’t need you at all.

4.The day you wake up and realize that you’re strong enough on your own and without fake friendships fake relationships and negative people is a GREAT day.

5.One day you will have the life that you strived so hard to get, and those people who left you behind will need something from you, want to catch up, or want forgiveness, and you should do just that. Because being the bigger person is an amazing feeling, help people who have hurt you simply because you know you would never stoop to their level.

Basically, go life a great life, and you will attract the people you’re meant to have in it, don’t wallow on the relationships you have lost. Cherish those who have stayed loyal and true and hope to find more friends like that. Dwelling on what people should have and could have done is just that, dwelling, move forward and find better greater things in your own future.

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.

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.
