This One Goes To My Best Friend

I know that this will be all you'll talk about for the rest of my life.

This One Goes To My Best Friend
Maria Perez

Dear bestie,

I honestly don't know where to begin. You know how horrible I am with expressing my feelings. I just want to start off by saying that I never expected to be super close to you when we first moved into college freshman year. You just a stranger who was randomly assigned to the same room as me. It wasn't until we shared our mutual love for The Wanted that we started hanging out more. You soon became my number one concert buddy due to all of the concerts we went together. Once our first year of college ended, you were one of my best friends.

Over the years, we've had our share of memories. All of those road trips to other states just to go to a concert (getting stranded in the middle-of-nowhere New Jersey was the worst). Our last minute decisions to go several tapings of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Saturday Night Live." And there are so much more.

You have become a part of my family over the past couple of years. My parents love to refer to you as the "adopted daughter." I always consider as my sister. We may argue and get mad at each other, we're able to talk it out and apologize. We've been able to vent about whatever is bothering us without any judgment whatsoever. We've seen each other cry. We've watched each other's back for the past three to four years.

With only two months left before we graduate college, it's weird to think that we won't be seeing each other every single day. I just want to thank you for being there for all these years. That you were able to put up with my anger problems and sudden mood swings. You've made it a one-of-a-kind college experience that I wasn't expecting. It'll be weird trying to maintain a long-distance friendship, but I'm sure we'll make it work.

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.
