Living far away from your best friends is hard. Sometimes, you need their shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, occasionally to agree with you without question and, of course, someone to knock some sense into you. It can be hard to cope with not seeing them every day. So here's a away to get started with dealing with the grief.

1. Text them every day.


Let's be real, most of us are glued to our phones, so why not use them to make missing your best friend a little easier?

2. Skype Movie Nights

On Skype there is a cool feature where you can share your desktop so the person you are talking with can see whats happening on your screen. Right click on the call and press share screen!

3. Friend Dates

Find a day each month that works for both of you to see each other in person to catch up and talk face to face.

4. Send mail

If you can, send your friend letters or souvenirs in the mail. This is really helpful for friends who live in different states or countries. Plus, the messages are a lot more meaningful.

5. Collaborative Playlist

Using Spotify or other apps can allow you to make playlist with your friends to share new music you are currently interested in and keep in touch with each others interest.

6.Video Games

Most games now have an online feature. With this you can do something with your friend that is fun (but still from your own house) and still chat!

7. Buy Matching T-Shirts

As silly as it sounds, having shirts that declares your friendship might make you feel a little closer.

8. Go to their events

If they play sports or music or anything else that has an event, try to go to as many as possible even just for when they are up to show your support.

9. Social Media

Many social media websites have ways to privately share messages. You can also share public articles they may like-- using Instagram is a great way to tell them you are thinking about them.

10. Family

When you are best friends with someone, their family becomes yours. So keep in touch with them-- plus, you get to her the embarrassing stories your friend won't tell you.

11. Reminisce and Plan Ahead

Talk about you favorite memories and relive them. And don't forget to mention the memories you have yet to share!

12. Accept the fact you will always miss them

There is no getting around it: we can't survive without our best friends.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
