To My College People
Sam

Dear some of my favorite human beings on earth,

Not for one second did I think I'd be addressing a letter like this to people as amazing as you guys. I never thought I'd come to college and meet people so awesome and so similar to me. If I'm being honest, ii's a little difficult to put my thoughts into words about how I truly feel for you all. I've learned to love you guys for who you are individually; my connection with you guys has become so strong that there are no words in the english dictionary that could precisely explain just how much I care for you.

With that being said, I'm just going to begin by thanking you. I've always been the type of person that put effort into friendships I knew would last me a long time; I truthfully didn't think I'd find friendships like that so quickly. Thank you all for being yourselves, first of all. You all teach me so much every single day, and I don't think you even realize it. One thing you all seem to have in common though is that you all teach me how to be a better version of myself. You all always remind me how important it is to smile and remember my worth. Without you guys I know I wouldn't be where I am today.

Thank you for always looking at the brighter side. I know life can get us down sometimes, and that college is so stressful, but you all act as if the world couldn't be more perfect, and you are the happiest you could ever be in your life. The best part about you guys? You always look forward to what tomorrow brings.

There is nobody in this world I would rather tackle college with than you guys. I am so unbelievably blessed to have met you all when I did. You make waking up every morning in a stuffy room on a tiny and not very comfortable bed all the more exciting. You make every single day a new adventure and I love that about you guys.

Thank you for all being almost as obnoxious as me, teaching me how to rally like a champ, eating Droogies with me until our sweat basically turns into milkshakes, reminding me that not every guy is gonna be my Magic Mike, watching One Tree Hill with me until our eyes glaze over, laughing so hard and so loud that the guys on the floor below you have to bang on the ceiling, but for also being able to have a genuine heart to heart when one is due.

These next four years are going to be interesting, to say the least, but I wouldn't want to have anyone else by my side. I can't wait to be trapped in a room with you all next year, and I obviously can't wait to take on Florida with you wonderful people. The memories we've made, and the memories that have yet to come, are ones that I will carry with me forever. You guys have become like family to me in such a short period of time, and you will never truly understand just how much you mean to me.

So, I'm just going to leave it at this... I love you guys. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

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.

WP content

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.
