To My Friends

"Unexpected friendships are the best ones."

To My Friends
Nicole

Meeting you wasn't an accident.

You came into my life so suddenly I didn't know what was happening.

All I knew was I was meeting someone special.

They always say that in order to be okay you need at least one good friend, but they never say how blessed you are when you have many good friends. With my friends I have the whole world.

Nicole,

You came into my life with a lot of noise and cuss words. I've always admired you for your strength and honesty. You keep my head on straight, and make sure I'm doing the right things.

Christina,

You came into my life a little more quietly, but you never failed to impress me. You are extremely athletic and good at everything you do. Your happiness always makes me happy and carries me through.

Sabri,

You were a friend at first sight, literally. We've been through some crazy stuff and even more fun stuff. We couldn't be any more opposite but somehow we make it work. I would be lost without you in many things, especially in high school.

Isa,

You still being around after all Anne and I have put you through says a lot about your loyalty. You're one tough gal and I know when I'm weak I can lean on you.

Ethan,

You randomly chose to sit with us and even to this day I can't understand why. You were quiet but after a few weeks of playing ping pong, you and Paul finally started joking around. You never fail to make me laugh at least once a day, most likely more.

Paul,

We met you at ping pong, but everyone knows who Paul is. You are such a down to earth guy even though you could be like any other football jock. Your relationship along with Ethan's show us girls what we should wait for. Thanks for being a role model in that way. You guys honor your girlfriends in a way I haven't seen very many young men do and it's inspiring.

Nate,

I could say the same about you that I can say about Paul and Ethan. You guys have stepped up as brothers and friends to show us what it looks like to be a good guy. I know me and the other girls will understand how a guy should treat a girl by the way you guys treat your girlfriends.

Amos,

I've known you for awhile now and every day you're full of surprises. You always irritate me the way you can't see how amazing you are. You have listened to me when I have been at my lowest and still stayed by my side. You mean a lot and without you I wouldn't have anyone else call me when I'm dead asleep.

I could keep going, there's still many people in my life who have always been there. My Family, Michaela, Casey, and Tim and even more. I am beyond blessed and that's not an understatement.

There's a quote that goes like this, "meeting you was like listening to a song for the first time and knowing it would be my favorite."

I can't thank you enough but know this, I'll always be there for you. If it means getting you ice cream, you got it. If it means writing you quotes to keep that smile on your face, you got it. Even if it means silently standing by your side when you need to rage, or cry, you got it. I will be there for you, because I know you're here for me. This is for you all. Thanks for being that favorite song in my life, that makes me sing.

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.
