To My Best Friend Back At Home,

I cannot believe how long it has been since I’ve seen you. Its been almost three months and it's so weird to think that we haven’t been in each other's presence in so long. College has been great and all but I miss you terribly. I love it here but there really is nothing better than being home with my family and you, my best friend.

Although we didn’t see each other every day anyways, knowing we were in the same state was enough. Now we're over one hundred miles apart and it feels even further. Texting you and Facetiming you every day definitely eases the pain of not being with you but it’s just not the same. I miss not having my best friend right at my side when I need her.

You know everything that I have been through here, since day 1. I have given you every last detail about how much my life has changed throughout the semester. I think you know more about my life here than I do. I have changed, socially and mentally. But I cannot and will not forget my roots. Our friendship goes back for years and the people I have met on this campus will never understand me like you have for so long. My new friends have a lot of catching up to do! Sometimes it can become frustrating when I am feeling emotional or I just miss home, and I don’t have anyone to really turn to. I know I can shoot you a quick text or make a phone call, but you’re not always available. I know we are both running on two totally different schedules, but it can be really hard sometimes.

I keep counting down until break. I do not know when I’ll exactly see you next, but I really hope when I come home for Thanksgiving break, we will be able to catch up. I don’t care if I have to waste all the gas in my car to make that forty-five minute drive out to your house, because I know it will be worth it. All the time we have spent away from each other has to count for something. The wait will be totally worth it when I finally see you. However, it will suck when I’ll have to leave and go back to school. I don’t want to think that far but I can only think realistically.

All I can really conclude is that distance does not have anything on our friendship, I can promise you that. I know you will always be back home for me to go to when I need and I will always be here for you. You’re my best friend and you’ll never be replaced.

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.
