Sometimes all you need in life is a best friend to get you through the tough times.

Why My Best Friends Are My Rocks
Aleksia Gray

Best friends are the people that are there for you when you feel like no one else is. They teach you lessons, give you advice whether it's about clothes or dating or even just on school work, they will always be there for you. Best friends will teach you so much about yourself than you would have ever imagined and the best part is that they are your friends so they will be around for a while.

Even with going away to college my best friends and I have managed to keep in touch and are closer than we ever were before. It's almost like the distance between us just ended up strengthening our friendships with one another. We have managed to keep in contact with each other and what is going on in everyone's life at the moment through group messages. Although sometimes the best friend group message gets out of hand you still would not trade it for anything. All of my friends go to different schools in different areas and we only see each other on holiday breaks. But, that doesn't stop us from having fun and talking to each other in the meantime.

Without a good group of friends this world would be a very lonely and cold place. My biggest fear when leaving for college was how am I supposed to make new friends or how do I even make friends. Up until now I have just stuck with the same group of friends that I made because my parents were friends with their parents and now that is not the case I had to make friends on my own. If there was not an open seat next to me in my freshman year English class than I do not think that I would have met my best friend that I made up at school. Because of this happening, I feel that everything does happen for a reason. This person has become so close to me that I consider her my best friend and has helped me through so much at school that my friends back at home just could not do. Either way, I am thankful for my friends.

There are many things that I feel I need to thank my best friends for because without them I would not be where I am at today. My best friends have been there for me through some of the hardest times of my life. Because of this, it has caused our friendships to become even closer. I know that I can trust my friends with everything in my life and even with advice that I need. Without these people in my life that I am able to call my best friends I would be lost. To quote Greys Anatomy my best friends are my person. They are there for me through all of the ups and downs of life and I cannot thank them enough for that.

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.
