A Thank You Letter To My College Friends
Sara Bieneman

Dear My Closest And Dearest Friends,

In September, we were all just scared little freshmen; ready to start the next chapter in our lives. Our lives were very different than they are now. We have new boyfriends / girlfriends, new hobbies and even new majors. But throughout all the changes and challenges, we have continued to build our friendships and have supported each other every step of the way. Here are some of the many reasons I have to thank you guys for.

Supporting my academics.

We always do homework together and that made the work not seem like work at all. Your help with math homework is the reason why I did so well in that class. If any of us needed someone to read over an English paper, then we were right down the hall and willing to help in any way. We all understand that we are here to have a good time, but the main reason is the education.

Supporting all hobbies.

No matter what the hobby was, the “family” would be there supporting. Nothing is better than having all your friends supporting you in the activity you love. Even though we aren’t all interested in the same hobbies, we are all very willing to learn more about them. So thank you for being those friends that everyone is jealous of because you are there being supportive.

Endless laughter.

Throughout the year, the nights have gotten later and later because of our adventures and deep talks. Whenever I’m with you guys, I can’t help but be happy and laugh over everything. The best part of this year was that my best friends were also my neighbors. I live with all of my best friends, essentially. What can be better than that? You guys are the reason why I live a good, happy life here. Thank you.

Being true to yourself.

Through high school, all the things that mattered were the material things. This included the clothes you wore, where you lived, who you hung out with, etc. But honestly, none of that matters to us. We care about who you are as a person and not what you have. We don’t change ourselves or try to change each other to fit in better; we are just simply ourselves. You guys are some of the truest friends I have ever met. So thank you for showing me that life is more than objects.

Whether we like it or not, our freshman year is coming to an end. We will never live this close to each other or even go to the same school anymore, but that’s OK because I know you guys will always be there. We are all just one text or Snapchat away to say an inside joke or send a picture of something that reminds us of one of us. All I’m trying to say is that it won’t be as easy as it is now to get everyone together for a late night adventure. But I want to keep as close of a relationship with everyone as possible because you guys are simply the best. I want to thank you for letting me be a part of the “squad” and for making my freshman year of college unforgettable.

Love,

Me

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.
