91 miles ain't got nothing on us.

To my best friend in college,

I am already very aware of how cliché this "open letter" is and how everyone has already written one and how you hate them more than you hate biology, but this ones for you buck.

I miss you, like a lot. I miss seeing your smiling face, and before school coffee stops.

Everything is so big and unexplored in a new city, there’s hope for both of us here. I know we both took for granted being so close to each other, but now that we aren’t, I cherish all the times where we get to talk or I get a quick text from you or you tag me in some ridiculous thing on Instagram (mainly I'm tagging you but who's counting?)

Thank you for always listening to me and thank you for the continuous support you give me still being miles away. I know we won’t get to have the option to see each other as much as we both would like to, but that’s okay because I know we’ll get through it. They can't really keep us here forever. You were always a positive part of my life and I'm really missing that most (and your dad's beanie weenies but whatever). I'm looking forward to the next time I see you more than you know. Can’t wait for our cuddle sessions and late night drives.

Lastly, I want to tell you how proud I am of you. You're going to a great school and you haven't threatened to drop out (at least not enough times for me to get worried). I am proud of the wonderful and beautiful woman you have become. I will always be here for you no matter what.

Xoxo,

Your slightly better half.

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.
