To My Hometown Girls

You guys have been such a big part of my life.

To My Hometown Girls

Dear my hometown girls,

I can not even begin to express how grateful I am that you all are apart of my life. You guys have always lended a shoulder when I needed to cry. You have made me laugh until my stomach hurts, and you most certainly have never turned down a trip to Laha or Starbucks.

You guys have been such a big part of my life. You were there for the transition from Braxton to ATMS, and then from ATMS to Trinity. You were there through the awkward phases aka middle school, and then helped to keep me sane during what seemed like the longest four years of our lives. You celebrated when I finally chose a college, and we cried as we walked across that stage to receive our diploma. It never seemed real that we had graduated high school and were moving on to bigger and better things.

Even though we are all at three different colleges now, all doing different things and becoming better versions of ourselves, y'all are still the ones who know me better than I know myself. You are the ones who I can call anytime I just need to talk. You are the ones who understand all of my awkward encounters. You are the ones who still give me the best advice and help me make decisions because we all know I'm too indecisive to make them for myself.

For so long now, you have been the ones I have went to when I was bored and just wanted to hang out or when I was stressed to the max and needed to talk to someone who understands. Its the nights spent at each others houses laughing and gossiping that I miss the most. Its the all the spirit weeks we did together, and every rival football game that we attended. It was the trip to the beach we took that one day randomly on spring break. It's memories like this that make me miss our little small town, and being only five minutes away from each other.

So thank you for the endless laughs, jokes, and stories. Thank you for being my best friends through all of the different life phases we encountered, and especially thank you for still being by my side as we journey through this new adventure called college.

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.
