To The Best Friend I Wasn't Expecting

Thank God for college and you.

Dear BFF,

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that people come into your life when you need them the most. I believe that someone somewhere placed you into my life for a reason. Starting college everyone told me, "you'll find your people", or "you'll find your college family". Now I can say, I've found my family. I've found the best friend that I'll be going through the upcoming years with.

When we first met over the summer before our first semester of college, even you said you didn't think we'd be the best of friends. We ended up spending most of the week together, we met each other's moms and promised we would FaceTime. Up until move-in day, we tagged each other in pictures on Facebook counting down the days until we got to start our new lives. Here we are with only four weeks left of the semester, our new lives have started, and I don't know how I would've survived without you.

Since we met (which seems like forever ago), we've seen each other through a lot. We spent about an hour crying in my car after our first anatomy class, and during our cry session, you started to laugh hysterically--which made me think you were kind of psycho. We've had sleepovers, Netflix nights, and told our deepest darkest secrets. We've gone on an adventure to find cool rural roads in Indiana, all while having a vent session. We've sat in parking lots for hours listening to music, laughing, and sometimes crying. We went to our first party together and you showed me the store where EVERYTHING is a dollar. Even the plates.

You have accepted me on my days where I don't feel like doing anything, the days I just want to go home, and on the days when I wake you up at 11AM and tell you I'm coming over, only to actually make you go to the cafeteria and get food with me. (She isn't a morning person, y'all. AT ALL.) You've accepted my depression, my boy-craziness--that you go right along with, my anxiety, all of my quirks, and I don't have the words to thank you for that.

I have a few things to thank you for...

Thank you for screaming "BUCKLE UP" when I've forgotten to put my seatbelt on, even if we're only in a parking lot.

Thank you for telling me that I deserve better than that guy from the other night.

Thank you for constantly telling me you're happy to have me in your life.

Thank you for being the funniest person I know and making me laugh so hard I cry every time we're together, which is pretty much 25/8. (Yes people, I'm aware that it's '24/7'.

You're the sweetest, funniest, most emotional, psycho person I know but I wouldn't have you any other way. You have a beautiful soul and I thank you for instilling some of that in me. I can't wait to live together next year and do life. This kind of sounds like a love letter but that's fine because you're bae. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. I love you so much!

With all my love,

Your forever friend

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.
