How did I ever do life without you?

A Thank You To My Best Friend I Met In College
Lexy Rahim

It has been a wild ride with you and I. Even through the highs and lows, spending every day with you this past year is something I wouldn't change for anything. We have done some really, really stupid things and had the most fun doing it all. You have by far exceeded any expectations of the type of friend I thought I would meet when I stepped on campus. From the more serious things to the silly things, there are a hundred things that I could thank you for.

It is no question that we each had bad days. Some days worse than others, but I will always be so grateful for how you handled me at my worst. Thank you for wiping my tears when I couldn’t get myself under control. Thank you for bringing me my favorite snacks in bed and not getting mad when I didn't share a whole bag of Doritos. Thank you for always being that person I knew would be there for me when I just needed a hug and for someone to tell me everything would be OK.

The worst nights were the nights that we had to go out without each other. As much fun as I did have some nights, I always found my way back to your bed at the end of the night. Thank you for interrupting your studies to pick me up from a party so that I could come back early and not have to walk back alone. Thank you for always letting me sleep in your bed while you were in class, after a long day or night and not getting mad when I took up the whole bed.

Thank you for never letting me eat alone. No matter who texted who first, you were always down to stuff your face with me or at least watch me. There is nobody that I would rather share my love for acai bowls, salad, and bagels with than you.

I have no doubt in my mind that sometimes people look at us and just raise their eyebrows because we are acting so silly. Thank you for never making me look like an idiot alone.

Honesty is a must in all friendships and you sure were not afraid to tell me what I needed to hear. Thank you for always giving me an honest opinion. I am sure I probably would have worn a few ugly outfits, said some stupid things and made a couple bad decisions if it weren't for you.

Thank you for dropping it low on the dance floor with me. Even when there was nobody around or the atmosphere was a little dead, I could always count on a good night if I had you by my side.

Thank you for fueling my terrible shopping addiction by always being down for a ride to the mall or a shopping center, or even laying in bed and looking at stuff we both knew we did not need.

Most importantly, thank you for being you. Thank you for never getting sick of the triple texts, multiple phone calls, or the obnoxious stories I have to tell. I know I am a handful and a half, but you balance me out perfectly. You look out for me like no other and I am so beyond thankful for everything you do for me. I could not imagine this crazy journey without you.

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.
