Why Your College Friends Mean The World To You

Sure your High School friends will always have a special place in your heart but college is where you find your friends for a lifetime. Friendship in college takes on a whole new definition. By the end of freshman year you have met completely new friends than you once had in high school. You are a different person. These people change your life in ways you can't imagine. As Winter Break comes to an end you began to realize how excited you are to be back with your people. 


You've seen each other in the good, bad, and the ugly.


1. You’ve seen each other at your absolute worst.

2.  Cheered for you when you were at your best. 

3. You managed to maintain your friendship through the stress of exams.

4. They understand not to say a lot when walking to your 8 am's. 

5. They will have 30 second dance parties with you when you are stressed.

6. Dragging you out when you say you want to be lame and stay at home, and making that night one of the best nights you’ve had in a while.

7. You know their dating history just as well as your own.

8. They understand when you meet a new guy.

9. They won't judge you for finishing a season on Netflix in a day.

10. They help you figure out what to wear when going out.

11. They provide comfort and advice when you think your life is falling apart but really you’re just being dramatic.

12. You witness each others bad decisions.

13. You automatically have a gym buddy.


While living with and being around these people pretty much 24/7 for four years, you create a bond you have never quite experienced. They are there for you in every way possible.  These people and the memories you share can never be replaced. 

We wouldn't be who we are without you guys. xoxo

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.
