To My Best Friend I Left When I Moved Away To College

My far away friend.

To My Best Friend I Left When I Moved Away To College
Madi Troyer

Dear far away friend,

I am here, you are there and I miss you.

Going away for college was something I always knew I wanted to do, and something I thought we'd always do together. It's months later and we're separated. Most people think a long distance romantic relationship is hard, but this; this long distance friendship is so much worse. I miss you. So much.

True sadness is when everything I do reminds me of you and I being far apart. I can't help but wish you were here making memories. But, you're off making new memories and new friends. We're both doing our thing, still as crazy and weird as before. Still, I miss you.

Even though I am not there, I wish the best for you. I pray that your soul stays happy and heart stays content. I hope that as we grow separately we continue to grow together. I just know the next time we see each other it will be like no time has passed, and old memories will come back; new memories will begin. That, makes me miss you.

When I come home, the first stop I have to make is for you. I don't know how our hometown will handle both of us being together again, but we have major catching up to do. Major damage to be made up. I can't wait for the first embrace and a shrill unrecognizable. See you soon.

Until we meet again,

Your friend forever.

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.
