Hi Briannah, how are you doing?

It's been a while. I'm sorry we never had that play date before you moved away. Did you know that I came to your house and an old man came to the door? I think he was your grandfather, but he told me that you weren't there and he didn't know when you would come back. I thanked him and walked back home. That would be the last time I would go over.

I know that it's been 16 years but I just want to know: how are you doing? Where did you end up going? And how are you doing in school? I'm sorry that I forgot about you. Sometimes I forget that you existed. You were only in my life for a brief year, but that one year was a memorable one. Remember all the great times that we had? Remember how we were both trouble makers in class and would be scolded by the teachers for talking all the time and not listening? We were horrible listeners! Oh, do you remember my birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's and how we played in front of the green screen and pretended that we were pop stars? That was such a fun day! This is actually really embarrassing now, but remember when we were fish for our end of the year performance? During rehearsals we were awful listeners and would constantly get yelled at!

Looking back at it now Briannah, we were partners in crime. As cliché as that is, we were. But like every other friendship we got into fights. Remember when that new kid came into our class and he asked me if we could sit together on the bus back home? I honestly thought our friendship was over that day because you didn't want to talk to me. I remember you glaring at me for the whole bus ride and I was just looking at my back pack not wanting to make eye contact. The next day the teachers had to talk to us and fix our friendship because I was crying. We were completely fine after that and got back to being best friends. Looking back at it, it's pretty funny how we both reacted to that! Could you imagine if we were still friends when we started dating? We would glare at each other all the time in the hallways and go back to being friends the next day! I understand why you were mad at me. You were worried that he would be my new best friend and that I would forget you. Briannah, I wasn't going to forget you. I was just being nice because he didn't have any friends. But I'm glad we worked it out the next day.

These are just some of the memories that I have but I just want to thank you for being my friend and going through all the adventures with me.

Briannah if you're reading this and this somehow gets to you I just want you to know that I hope that you're doing well and accomplishing everything you wanted in life. I never became the pop star that I wanted to be, but I am double majoring in political science and public justice and hoping to accomplish my goals for my future career. I love what I'm doing, and I hope that you love doing whatever you're doing. Good luck and I hope you have a good life!

-Sarah

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.
