To The Person Who Knows Me Best
Shannon Donovan

To the person that knows me best,

The next few weeks will be strange, not only for you, but for me as well. We will not be able to go on Wawa runs or valley rides at 2 a.m. Target will no longer have to question why we spend hours in their store every other night. When boredom strikes, YouTube will be watched alone. There is so much more that is going to change. These changes will affect my daily life and your life as well.

We are getting older now and it is time for us to go our own ways. You have your priorities and I have mine. You will become busy and so will I. I believe in you and I know you will be successful in all that you choose to do. I will always be here for you supporting you through everything. I want to be that friend that everyone feels they can talk to about anything. I want to be here for you (not always in person, though, as distance is between us).


Thank you for everything you have done for me. First, I thank you for supporting me in my decision to continue my education in another state. Moving away from home at 18 years old is not as easy as some may think. Your support and encouragement have helped immensely. Thank you for making me laugh. Laughing with you will always be a memory I cherish and I cannot wait to laugh with you again.

Thank you for crying with me. Life is not always rainbows and butterflies, but you have made the tough times manageable. You have helped me when I needed it the most.

Thank you for loving me. I know saying goodbye was not easy, it was just as difficult for me. Seeing the tears run down your face made it even harder. Letting go after that last hug was painful and believe me, I wish I could have held on longer. I am counting down the days until we see each other again.

We will talk every week, I promise you this, considering "T@gged" airs a new episode every week. Keep the fire burning, we must not lose our snap streak. If anything new or exciting or sad or depressing happens in your life, I want to know. Send me updates on what's going on in the hometown. No matter what happens over the next few years, I want you to know that you will not be forgotten. The pictures hanging in my dorm will not allow it.

As Hannah Montana put it, "You'll always find your way back home." You will always be a part of home. I'll be home soon.

Love,

Shannon

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.
