A Thank You Letter To My Low Maintenance Friends
Bailey Cooper

Though you might be low maintenance, you're definitely, without a doubt, high quality.

I miss the times we often took for granted. The many days we spent walking down the halls at school, driving in circles around town, or laughing until we started wheezing. Your friendship has always meant the world to me, and even after all this time, you're still a big part of who I am.

Now that we've grown into young adults, who ultimately had to part ways to chase our dreams, I want you to know that I value your friendship even more now than I did back then.

Thank you.

Thank you for always being there for me whenever I need you. Even if we haven't talked or even seen each other in weeks or even months on end, I know that you'll still be there to let me borrow an outfit, drive miles to come comfort me, or help me bury a body. And for that, I am ever grateful.

Thank you for understanding. You understand that it's hard to keep in touch when our lives get hectic. You don't expect daily texts, weekly phone calls, or monthly visits, but when we do finally reunite it's as if no time has passed since the last time we were together.

Thank you for not judging me. When we come home for breaks and we finally have time to catch up, we exchange stories about what's been going on in our lives. Whether it's a story about a drunken night out or telling you about that guy I've been seeing, there's never any judgment, so thank you for that.

I'm cheering you on, and I am always your biggest fan. I try to keep up with your lives as much as I can. If I see your selfie on Insta, a status about changing your major, or cute pictures of you and your new friends on Facebook, I hit the like button. I love seeing how much you've grown and I am proud of everything you've accomplished.

Friendship isn't about constantly reassuring each other that we care about one another. Friendship is just knowing that we do.

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.
