An Open Letter To My Best Friend I Left At Home

Dear Other Half,

I just wanted to start off by apologizing for a few things: First off, I am so sorry that college has pulled me so far away from you. But I just want you to know that I am still here for you.

We have known each other for quite some time now and have created many amazing memories. Even though we are far away, I still cherish those memories dearly. We've seen each other at our highs and at our lows, helped each other through difficult times, encouraged each other to do the best that we can, and for that I am very grateful.

The next thing I wanted to apologize for, is not physically being there with you when you really need me. This honestly makes me so sad that you have to go through hardships without me there to tell you that it will all be okay, but just remember I am just a text or FaceTime away! You can call me at any time of day or night, and you bet I will drop everything to listen to you rant about the latest gossip, mean girls, boys, family, or just to have a quick laugh! Speaking of laughing, our laughs are endless when we are together because I swear we are the most hilarious people I know and should definitely have a reality television show.

Anyways, as my best friend at home, you have known me before I even went to college. You went through the biggest things of life with me. The ups and downs of other friendships for the both of us, the relationships, breakups, major life changes, and all around craziness. Without you, I honestly don't know where I'd be and I am so thankful for you.

Of course, college is fun but I look forward to the day I am home and get to make so many more memories with you. We always have the most fun times together because we are basically the same person. Being apart from your other half for months at a time is definitely one of the hardest things to do. It feels like it was just last week that we were saying ,"Only 35 more days!" And now it is down to six. Being reunited is right around the corner and I could not be more excited for our fun times this summer!

Love you more than life. Xoxo, your best friend.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
