I Struck Gold With My Friends In College

To my perfect best friends.

After high school my group of friends all went to different schools, started participating in different activities and sports so naturally, we all grew apart. it was hard to accept that we all were probably just going to stay that way but eventually, I did.

I was a commuter my freshman year. In all of my classes, no one talked to each other unless they were in a similar affiliation, whether it was from living on campus, to Greek affiliations, or sports teams. You had to try really hard to talk to anyone, and even at that, some people just brushed you off.

So, I decided to go through sorority recruitment. On bid day I sat nervously with a bunch of girls I had only known for a few days and together we opened our fate, we hugged, jumped for joy, and squealed, because we all ended up exactly where we wanted to be.

I never thought it was true when anyone said that college would be where you meet the people that will be in your life forever but every day i believe it more and more. I knew that college would be a big part in finding who I am, figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, and becoming fully independent, but i thought a lot of it would be done on my own. After I found my home during sorority recruitment, and found my best friends within that, I knew that I would always have people to turn to if i needed anything.

I appreciate each and every one of you for just being the person that you are. We have some time left in college together but, you should know that you all make every day easier and better than the last. Whether its just stress, having a bad day, or just to make a great day even better, I can't thank you enough.

Cheers to us, cheers to 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.

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.
