To The Best Friend I Never Thought I'd Meet

I couldn't imagine life without you

To The Best Friend I Never Thought I'd Meet
Alissa Derogatis

I never thought I would meet someone like you in college. Someone so compassionate, selfless and fun-loving. I never thought I would meet someone like you in my life, honestly. Someone I can call at any time of day or night, someone I can call my person, my best friend.

Growing up I was told that high school drama didn't matter because college was where you met your best friends, your bridesmaids. So, I tried my best not to sweat the loss of a few friends here and there. After my first two years of searching, I honestly was giving up hope that maybe my forever friend wasn't out there. Maybe I was too late. But, when I least expected it, you walked into my life and I hope you never walk out of it.

I couldn't imagine college without you, or life for that matter. You know what kind of food I'm craving before I even ask you what we should eat for dinner. You're always up for weekend long road trips or going out on a Tuesday night. I never have to convince you into doing anything, because we always seem to be on the same page. Well, except for when you want to ride rollercoasters because you know I'm deathly afraid.

I am so excited to take on the rest of the world with you. Senior year, graduation, our first "big girl" jobs, getting engaged, getting married, having kids and growing old together. These are all things that I can't imagine going through without you by my side. Life is so much more fun when I'm experiencing it with you.

Thank you for picking up your phone no matter the time or the place. Thank you for making me laugh more than the average person does. Thank you for providing me with an endless amount of support, even when my decisions might not be the best. Thank you for never saying no. Thank you for being everything that I'm not and for loving me through the hard days. Thank you for being the best friend I never thought I would meet. I am so glad I did.

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.
