A "Thank You" Letter To My First College Friends
giphy.com

In college you form friendships lasting a lifetime within just a short couple months. I was blessed to find an amazing group of friends quickly, making my year better than I could have ever imagined. For this I want to say "thank you."

Thank you for being there through many firsts.

First time living on my own.

First time navigating a college campus.

First time trying to shop for groceries and not buying just ramen.

First college crush.

Thank you for accompanying me on many late night adventures.

Will you pull an all nighter with me so I can pass this class?

Oh, that doughnut shop is four-hours away, but has great Yelp reviews? OK!

Who wants to get in the car and race to Taco Bell before they close at 3 a.m.?

Thank you for being there to celebrate.

Birthdays, passing exams I never thought were passable, getting the internship you thought was out of your league? You were always one call away and my number one cheerleader. When I found out in class I got the job in fall I wanted, you stopped what you were doing to meet me in the hallway for a celebratory mini dance party and hug.

Thank you for being there to to cry with after a long day.

Knowing I have a group of people I can call at any hour is so comforting. College can be emotionally exhausting. I can always count on you to meet me for a vent session and you will not judge my tears. We can talk for hours and I know I will not be judged and that you genuinely care.

Yes, that girl from work sucks.

We all failed together.

Your boyfriend did what?

Let's talk about it.

I am so thankful for our friendship and the year we have spent together. You all have become like family and I cannot imagine how I could have made it through this school year without you.

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.

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.
