To My Northern Homie

You're one in a million

100
Personal
Molly Riseman

Whenever you start work in high school, you think you're the coolest person in the world, you go and pick up your workers permit from your school and get hired. I was hired at our local ice cream place called, Kimball Farm. The place that I didn't realize at the time was going to give me one of the most amazing long-distance best friends. I worked at Kimball's for about three years.

When Sarah and I started, our job was to wipe tables outside and then we eventually "moved up" to scooping ice cream.

I moved to South Carolina almost three years ago, and Sarah and I joke that we took advantage of our friendship at the time and should've hung out more, now that I have moved, we've grown so much closer than I would've imagined. She's the person I call on my walk home from class, when I need someone to cry to, when I can't make a decision on what to do/eat, and even when I'm just plain old bored.

You're the person I never get annoyed with, or mad at; I don't think we've ever actually gotten into a fight. It's crazy when you move far away from your friends, it either makes or breaks your relationship- and thank god, it made ours.

It's been two years since I've seen you and our relationship is the strongest it's ever been.

You've always been so supportive of me with almost everything I do. It's nice to have someone you can rely on so you can complain to each other about all of your problems; everyone always needs one of those people. Thanks for being a top-notch best friend, and for letting me live vicariously through you in the North while it snows when I'm stuck with 90-degree humidity. You're one in a million; I love you.

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.
