When I started my freshman year over a year ago, I didn't know one person. I was hours away from my family and friends that I've known my whole life. I was eager to start a new chapter in my life and had a positive mindset about college. Throughout the first semester of my freshman year, I started to find my people. My people that were there to stay up way too late, eating food way too bad for us and laughing till our stomachs hurt.

It all started with my roommate. The person who was there for my lowest and highest points of freshman year. She introduced me to her friends from high school, and we all automatically clicked. Over a year later and these are the people I can't believe I survived my whole life without them. The girls on my floor soon became a huge part of my life. We looked out for each other and always made sure to check up on one another throughout the day. We all were on our own for the first time and realized we needed each other. These people are my backbones of college. They support and love me for exactly who I am with no judgments, what more can you ask for from a friend?

Then, I joined a sorority. Being hours from home I knew I wanted to be apart of Greek life. I figured this would get me involved and help me meet people easier. Little did I know I joined a chapter of 200 women that became my home away from home. I found the people I could go to for anything, knowing I was completely supported and loved. This sorority has lead me to some of the best friends I know I will have for life.

All of these people became such a huge part of my life in such a short amount of time. They know my family, friends from home, my past, and have become like family. College is a crazy and stressful time that can really get to you sometimes. Luckily, whenever the stress does get to me, I have these people to go to who will be there for me with advice.

The friends I've met in college really are like a family. We all look out for each other and always have one another's best interest at heart. Thank you to all of the friends I've made who love and accept me, along with all the craziness you have to deal. We have been through some of the most exciting and nerve-wracking times of our life, and without you, I probably wouldn't have made it. Thank you for taking care of me in every aspect of college.

Here's to another two and a half years of laughs, stress and crazy times.

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.
