A Thank You Letter To My Brothers
Samantha Wargo

It may not seem like it the majority of the time, but I can truly say from the bottom of my heart that I am so grateful to be able to call you two my brothers and more importantly my best friends. We have been best friends since the beginning and for as long as I can remember. There is nothing I would change about the relationship that we have created over the years. There are so many things that I want to thank you for, and what's better than writing it out for you to read over and over again?

Thank you for always having my back.

No matter what the situation is, no matter how wrong or right I am, I'll always know that you two will be there to bail me out or catch me when I fall or think I have fallen. Thank you for telling me the truth about everything even when you know I'm not going to like what your opinion is or what you're going to say.

Thank you for always protecting me.

Whether you guys are protecting me from a boy you don't like or simply from all the crazy people in the world, I couldn't be more grateful to know that you will always be there to guard me and keep me safe, and be by my side whenever I need you.

Thank you for all my childhood memories.

We have made so many memories throughout our lives, and there will be many more to make in the future. From our many sports tournaments, vacations and to all the days we just sat around doing nothing, years from now we are going to have so many funny stories to tell our kids.

Thank you for making me strong.

From day one, the two of you would wrestle me and push me around like I was one of the guys, and even though at the time I did not like it at all, I can now say that it has only helped to make me who I am today. Thanks to the two of you, I am the strong independent girl that I am today. You have taught me how to not punch like a girl and how to have my own back in any situation.

Thank you for always being down to eat with me.

I know I can always count on both of you to make milkshakes or even take a drive to McDonald's in the middle of the night. Even if you have just eaten, I know you will always have room for something else to eat.

Thank you for all the simple things.

Thank you for answering my texts, calls and FaceTimes in the middle of the night even though we are usually all in different states the majority of the time. Thank you for the motivating texts that push me to do my best or to do better when I tell you my latest accomplishments or failures. Thank you for being there for me even if we go days without talking or even sending a Snapchat. And thank you for always being able to make me laugh (whether you are making fun of me or we are making fun of mom and dad).

Most of all thank you for being my best friends.

Even though we aren't together as much anymore, I can truly say that you both are my best friends and have been since day one. No matter how far away we may be or how far away we will soon become, we will always be the three best friends that anyone could ever have.

At the end of the day, as much as I imagine myself having a sister at times and all the cute outfits we could have shared, I wouldn't trade either of you or your big baggy clothes for the world. We have been to the moon and back with and for each other, and that will never change.

Love,

Your Favorite Sister

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.
