An Open Letter To My Crazy Best Friend:

You might have been one of the most intimidating people to meet when we were freshman. Your attitude literally came into a room before you did and it was that you were not dealing with anyone or their drama. Beneath that exterior I ended up sitting down next to you at a dinning room table, at our swing house at the time, and started talking to you. Who knew that you would end up becoming one of my best friends, and living on the other side of the wall to me.

Thank you for endless sleepovers.

We constantly were in each others rooms in Tutwiler and honestly I can’t remember a time second semester that I didn't just run into your room whenever I needed to talk. We somehow always ended up having sleepovers in each others rooms. The memories of you trying to learn how to whip and nae nae before we went to bed still is in my head as I’m typing this out. Also, us laying in bed and eating ice cream while watching the Victoria Secret swimsuit fashion show as we realized we would never look like that. Who could forget us coming back sophomore year and me staying with you for two weeks straight, who knows how you could handle that.

Thanks for being the fun one.

If anyone knows me they know that I really wasn't that crazy or wild in any way. You didn’t turn me crazy or wild by any means, but you taught me how to actually go out and enjoy life instead of me wanting to stay in my room. Our road trips together just blasting music, running all around random places, and making me go do things that I normally don't is something I probably never would have experienced until I met you so I thank you for that.

Thank you for always listening to me.

I probably vent more than normal people do, and somehow you continuously listen to me. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me freshman year when I just needed to talk about things and you were always there without fail. Even now I know I can go into your room and talk to you if something is on my mind and you will stop to listen to me.

Thank you for being you.

There is no one I know who has so much pride about where they are from, or honestly talks about/ loves their family as much as you do. You have been one of my best friends, even if you did fall on a table at a pregame, or lost my car keys at a concert. I seriously don’t know what I would do without you.

Can’t wait to make more memories and mistakes, hopefully though more memories less mistakes.

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.
