To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester

I am so beyond grateful for these girls forever

To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester
Lauren Smith

Now that my freshman year has finally come to a close, it seems fitting to thank the girls that made my second semester of college an unforgettable one.

The fact that a few months ago, I barely knew these nine incredible girls is mind boggling to me. How did I go through first semester without you guys? How did I not go out with you guys every weekend first semester? How did I make it through without borrowing all of your clothes? So many questions are running through my mind right now.

It is so amazing how one event can give you your best friends. Thank You Alpha Omicron Pi for taking all of us in and bringing us all together. Without you, I wouldn't even know some of these girls I spent everyday with since January.

From walking to and from south halls basically everyday to running to each others dorms before a night out to borrow clothes. From Super Bowl parties and movie dates to late nights with Findlay yogurt and so much more. I am going to miss that so much.

We may not live that far from each other, but going from seeing you all everyday and being just a short walk away in East to now looking at Snap aps and seeing us all spread out, I have tears welling up in my eyes.

I am sure anyone reading this that knows they have already made that group of friends for life can agree with me that leaving college for summer and leaving behind all of the memories and experiences with "your people" is one of the hardest things you have done.

So, as we all reminisce by sending pictures and videos from the semester to each other, I just keep thinking that this isn't forever and that all of the goodbyes we said this week aren't really goodbyes, they are see you laters.

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.
