I may not be around, but I'll always have your back.

An Open Letter To My Freshman Year Best Friend

Howdy there,

I see that you're doing so well and I couldn't be happier for you. I'm beyond happy that we've managed to keep in touch. You were my rock all throughout freshman year. You were a steady friend who I could always count on. You had my back, gave me advice, and always kept it real. And when I was down, you picked me up. I was so excited to be going into my sophomore year with the most loyal friend as my roommate. But you weren't happy here, and I support your decision to leave because it was what was best for you.

I miss you, by the way. I miss our random late-night adventures and having a girl by my side that I could count on no matter what. I've never really been one to hang with the girls, but you, like me, hated the drama. We did the simplest things, but they always were a good time. Walks to the river, late nights by the campus pond, and even trips to the library -- because it was basically the only place on campus to print a paper or study guide.

We were by each other's side during the scariest time in our lives. It was the first time we were away from home and on our own, but you were that random co-worker who happened to be in my class and from there on out, we were pals. We haven't seen each other since the last day of freshman year when we swore we'd see each other soon, but we haven't since. And I have a good feeling that this will be the year we reunite.

We may not constantly talk and we haven't seen each other (in person) in two years, but I don't hesitate when I call you one of my best friends. I know that you'd be there if I needed you. I know you'd pick your phone up if I called you to cry about something. And I know you're a lifelong friend. Because friends like you are one-of-a-kind. You have a heart of gold and you've always gone above and beyond for your friends and I respect you so much for that. Even those who didn't deserve your friendship, received it. You gave endless chances and never asked for anything in return. And that's something that I could never overlook. I don't think I could ever betray you even if I wanted to. I don't understand why anyone would want to.

Again, I'm so happy to see you succeeding. I'm happy to see that life is treating you well. And I'm happy that you've found what you've been looking for. And if you're ever in doubt of anything, don't hesitate to look through your contacts and click my name to call. Because I've got your back till the end, sister.

XoXo
Your (Almost) Roomie

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.
