To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon

You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

To the Senior Who Graduated Too Soon
Cat McMillan

You might feel like you did not graduate soon enough, meanwhile, I am here wishing I could have another two and a half years of school with you.

I did not know I needed somebody like you to take me under their wing as a freshman until I met you. You were one of my first real friends at school, and before college, I had no idea all that I was missing out on.

You could not have cared less that I was a naive eighteen-year-old first-year college student, and you never once put me down for being younger than you or saw me any differently. In fact, more often than not I forget that we actually aren't twin sisters, let alone the same age. I easily could have been just another freshman who joined your sorority house who you vaguely recognized on campus but instead you reached out to me and made me feel so welcome in that first bit of school. You introduced me to so many people and expanded my seemingly small world at the time in so many ways. You taught me so much over the last year and a half and have opened me up to so many different things. From introducing me to One Direction with Wongo to showing me the magical wonders of Christmas Morning from Dutch Bros., I have learned so much from you, both big and small. I did not realize there was another person out there who had all the same interests as me from the song Christmas Canon to criminal justice, to politics to our neverending love for our boy Niall. I can always count on you to belt Blink-182 with me, eat ungodly amounts of food in one sitting together and to be there whenever I fall, both literally and figuratively. Thank you for letting me rant to you about boys, for reminding me of all of my most embarrassing moments (there are a lot) showing me the best views in Pullman and for bringing out the best in me.

Thank you for the deep late night conversations where we learned we are so much more similar than we ever could have imagined and for the times where we act like we are ten years old and can't help but laugh uncontrollably for hours on end.

You told me once last year that I was exactly who you were as a freshman, and if I am anything like you in the next few years, I will be very grateful because you really are one in a million.

I am only a couple of weeks into the new semester, but things really are not the same without you here in Pullman, so you better visit lots and count on many Molly Moons dates when I am back on the Westside.

While I wish you were still in Pullman, I know that wherever life leads you, you will have nothing but success come your way.

Thank you for being my soul sister Han, not sure what I would have done without you this last year.

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.
