Open Letter to My College Best Friend

I don't think I could ever explain to you how grateful I am, but it's worth a shot.

Dear college best friend,

You are unlike any other friend I have ever had. I met you in a room full of nasty, sweaty people that had drunk a few too many and it was a way past my normal sleeping hours. I was in a rare form that night because in high school I would never just walked up to someone and called them my spirit animal and if I ever did I would have never expected them to take me under their wing that night and introduce me to a bunch of girls I would never have imagined myself hanging out with.

Thank you for making my first college memory a great one and thank you for making my first semester of college one I will never forget! You have supported me from the first night I met you, the times I thought I could not pass a test or every Thursday night I did not know if I could make it from Phi Psi to some Delta Sig party, you were there.

Thank you for introducing me to your other half that slowly became one of the people I claim as one of the greatest friends I have ever had. Thank you for letting me in on all of the details of your relationship and for all the times you allowed me to third wheel every date night ever. You two gave me hope in times I most needed it.

From the countless nights that turned into mornings we may or may not remember, from the frat boys we have had to swear off, from the tears we have cried to each other, the shacker nights in your dorm, the doctor visits, and the game days we have shared with each other. I could not ask for someone better to be my best friend in these crazy times of my life; you are truly someone I could not imagine my life without so far.

No matter how far we travel and no matter how different we are you will always share some of my most precious times of my first semester with me and for that I am so thankful.

Love always.

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.
