To The Women I Live With

Adulting is hard, but it brought me you.

To The Women I Live With
Karly Kinzie

We went into college totally blind and alone. However, somehow we all managed to come together and decide that living together would be a new and exciting thing.

We all became friends in different ways, whether that’s from dropping bright red lipstick on each other’s carpet, hating the same boys, dating friends and bonding over vodka, somehow we came together. To me, that's pretty cool.

It’s hard for me to imagine how different my college years would have been without you guys. Would I be friends with some of the people I am friends with? Would I like the same drinks I like? Would I enjoy doing the same things I now like to do? I’ve thought about it and I think the answer to all of those things is: Probably not.

It’s so insane to think about how meeting just one person can flip your life around and change you for the better. I was lucky enough to meet and become friends with you guys and that is something I know I’ll cherish forever.

You ladies are so incredibly important to me! You’re there for me when school is tough. There for me when boys are dumb. And there for me when I need someone to celebrate the little things with, like putting on pants or making it to class on time.

So thank you, girls!

Thank you for listening to me complain about homework and for pretending to like things I make even if they taste a little funky. Thank you for not judging the chaos that is my bedroom. Thank you for listening to me ramble on about boys and work. Thank you for forcing me to go study at the library with you. Thank you for bringing water bottles to the library with me. Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick. Thank you for always being down for coffee, movies, food, ice cream and wine. Thank you for dancing around the house with me to Disney music. But most of all thank you for being such incredible women. You guys have taught me so much in the few short years we've known each other and for that I am forever grateful. I love you guys!

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.
