A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Simya Dickson

This letter is well overdue because you have constantly supported me through thick and thin. I still can’t fathom having you in college with me, but I’m glad our long-distance friendship has survived.

Not going to lie, in the beginning, I definitely had my doubts about how long we were actually going to stay as close as we were. Imagine trying to start and grow within our lives, but holding on what genuinely was the old us. You’ve gotten me through so many things while I’ve been in college, and I thank you more than ever for that.

What separates us from every other best friend duo is that our friendship runs on hate. Our everlasting friendship started through the hatred of a class and then spiraled through your hatred for me.

Somehow, we surprisingly pulled through, and I’m beyond glad that we did. However, besides the hate that boils between us, lies memories and laughter that makes our relationship surreal.

Although the foundation of our friendship is mainly vine references and Twitter memes, somewhere way deep down lies the typical best friend relationship that everyone else has. The amount of support that we provide for each other through anything and everything withstands all the petty arguments that we’ve had. Thank you for letting me vent to you about boys and the stress that school inevitably brings.

No matter the distance, I know you’ll always be there for me. I don’t think I ever told you how thankful I was that you traveled 12 hours to visit me, and I can’t wait to do the same.

As you apply for your dream colleges and get in, KNOCK ON WOOD, I’ll be right by your side to support you every step of the way. As cliché as it might sound, you are family and I’m more than positive that you’ll be the maid of honor at my wedding and the godmother to my future children.

Friends can be Soulmates too, right? I’m glad that I get to take on life with you as my partner in crime.

We always see the good in each other that neither of us can see. It’s truly amazing how no matter the distance you’re my number one supporter. Trust me when I say that all of our aspirations will come true and we will thrive together.

Though you never Snapchat me back and take forever to reply to my texts, I know that you do it out of love. Even if we don’t talk for days on end, the moment we begin to catch up its almost as if we never stopped talking.

Thank you for all the hilarious unforgettable stories that we’ll tell at each other’s weddings. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for our friendship.

You’re the pea to my pod, the sister I’ve never had, and one of the reasons why I constantly pursue my dreams.

No words can explain how grateful I am for you. Now stop reading this and Snapchat me back!

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.
