A Thank You To My Sidekick

Thanks for always understanding me.

A Thank You To My Sidekick
Toria Howard

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being my best friend. Even though we occasionally yell at each other over our redundant opinions, no one else understands me like you. You're my partner in crime.

Thanks for sending me funny Snapchats...while sitting in the same room as me. You're the funniest person I know. Let's just leave it at that.

Thanks for listening to all the boy drama in my life, giving me advice and letting me ignore it. You are right. Even if I play it off like you're completely wrong, just know that I hear you. I'm probably just trying to learn from my own mistakes. I will tell you, "You were right" eventually. Just give me time.

Thanks for always hanging out with me while all of our friends go on dates. "So...you want to hang out tonight?" This is a nightly occurrence, but I'm totally cool with it. We have more fun anyways. Moe's and a movie in the apartment tonight? Sounds good to me!

Thanks for always being my shotgun rider. Jam sessions in the car are what we live for. There's nothing like singing some Justin Bieber at the top of our lungs.

Thanks for always being willing to go to Speedway to get a Speedy Freeze. I always know that you are up for a Speedy Freeze or a Slurpee on spring break. No need to ask, just get in the car, and we are on our way. And if they don't have Mountain Dew, we leave and go to the next destination.

Thanks for being my forever sidekick. We could be nothing but polar opposites. From your lipstick-loving and dressing up every day for class, to my chapstick queen and leggings, I wouldn't trade you for anyone.

I have to say this: we messed up. We messed up with not being friends in high school. Imagine what our friendship would look like now if that had been the case. You can't find one of us without the other following close behind. Always a package deal. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being my person and always being there for me. You are my forever sidekick.

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.
