To My Best Guy Friend
Aleta LaPage

You and I are more than friends, we’re like a really small gang.

I moved into college with a boyfriend, unsure and scared about where my life was taking me next. Once my relationship came to an end, I met you, and now I understand why everything happens for a reason.

The first night that I actually hung out with you, I made pancakes and you’re the only one who ate one, but not without making fun of me during the whole process, and from there I knew we were going to be friends, I just didn’t know that you would have this big of an impact on my life.

Ever since then, we grew closer and closer. One night when you guys were going out you asked “do you want to come with us?” We had a great time, you looked out for me, you protected me and you watched out for me. Ever since that night, I knew that you were placed into my life to fill something that was missing, and I’m thankful every day for that.

I’ve only known you for a few short months, but I feel like I’ve known you for a lifetime and I’m beginning to wonder how I ever made it without you in the first place. We have had so many good times already, and I can’t wait to see how many more we can fit into the next four years. I will always remember “Thank you Darious” … “You’re welcome!” Me telling everyone that you’re my brother (because you are...duh) and you telling everyone that I’m your sister (because I am), you scaring away all of the creepy guys for me, football games and tailgates, our after class FOC dates, when I put on my Snapchat that we got engaged and people actually asked me about it and you always including me in whatever you do, no matter if it’s with the guys or not you never left me out and always told everyone that I could hang.

Thank you so much. Thank you for doing everything that you do for me. You will never know how much I appreciate all the times you’ve gone out of your way for me, and although you throw sass around more than ANYONE else I know, you wouldn’t be you without it, and we wouldn’t be us without throwing sass at each at all hours of the day, or me beating the crap out of you because you made fun of me or said something so sassy that I just didn’t have a good enough comeback for. You’re truly the brother that I never had but I’ve always wanted. You build me back up when I’m feeling down, and you always make sure I know that I’m good enough, and that no one is good enough for me. Thank you for bringing me back up from my broken heart, which you did without even realizing.Thank you for always being the one I run to when I need to talk and thank you for being the one person I can trust with my life. Never forget how amazing of you person you are. You deserve the world and then some.

You’re Welcome, Love Your BFF.

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.
