To My Best Friend

Where on Earth would I be without you and your shenanigans?

To My Best Friend
Jennifer Stellmar

To my best friend,

Where do I even begin? You have been my best friend for I don't even know how many years now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We have been through the thick and thin with each other, and our friendship has only grown stronger. We always joke that neither of us really remember how we became friends...we just were. All of a sudden, you were waiting by my locker for me after school because we always walked out together. We would talk and text each other literally 24/7. Then came our endless Friday nights we spent roller skating to our favorite emo songs and laughing until one of us nearly peed themselves.

You have always been the first person I called when anything happened in my life. Whether it be happy or sad, you were always there for me. Especially if it was a disastrous first date and I forced you to get out of bed to come cringe with me until 4am on your front porch. We have so many inside jokes it drives everyone mad (most even think we're mad) and we can exchange them in just a glance. The most random things can send us both into a giant fit of giggles (maple syrup, "oof," "mmph") that no one understands. Your porch swing has become our spot where we spend every summer night just talking about our lives and you listen to me go on and on about cute boys I like.

It can be a day, week, or month before we hang out again and nothing ever changes and we have so many things to tell each other (if we can even remember any of it).When we do hang out it always somehow ends up a mess with both of us laughing so hard we're crying and there's wet corn starch all over the floor. We are so close that even a psychic referred to you as my sister. You have always been able to tell if something's up just by the tone of my voice, and sometimes you just know exactly what is going on.

To my best friend, thank you. Thank you for just being you. Who knows where I would be without you. I have learned so much from you over the years, and you have helped me in so many ways. I can't wait until we actually are the two old ladies drinking coffee in Dunkin Donuts. I love you, bro.

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.
