An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend
Katherine Comeaux

Dear Guy Best Friend,

Having a guy best friend is probably the greatest thing ever! Thank you for being a HUGE part of my life! I value our friendship tremendously and cannot imagine not being friends with you. I wanted to take the time to thank you for all you have done for me! Here's to you best friend:

Thank you for always making me laugh when all I want to do is cry. You never let me sit there feeling sorry for myself. Instead, you come over with your jokes and silly antics and make me forget why I was upset in the first place.

Thank you for not sugar coating anything! Thank you for telling me when that dress does not look good on me and offering me advice on what does. I value your opinion and am so glad that you never hold your tongue and always speak your mind, even if I don't necessarily want to hear it.

Thank you for driving me around and being my chauffeur. Some of my favorite memories are singing (very badly) at the top of my lungs, with my feet on the dashboard riding shotgun in your car. I take the responsibility of copilot very seriously and promise to play the best songs we can sing to.

Thank you for being my brunch date! Spontaneous calls saying, "Get dressed, we are going to get food," are music to my ears. There is no problem in the world that a late night breakfast at Waffle House can't fix. Thank you for making sure I don't starve when I forget to eat because school and life are busy.

Thank you for being my protector (not that I need one because I consider myself as tough as you)! You are always there when that creepy guy downtown won't leave me alone. You walk me to my car when it is late and dark outside. You have purchased countless Uber's for me to ensure that I get home safe. Thank you for always making me feel safe and at ease when you are around.

Thank you for showing me how to be a real friend! You never judge me or question the decisions that I make. You are always a listening ear and a voice of reason when I need you to listen. There is no time that I cannot call on you and I know that you will come running as fast as you can!

Thank you for everything that you do for me! I value our friendship tremendously. Words cannot express how much of an impact on my life you have had. I don't know where I would be in life without you. Thank you for always being my date to sorority events, my late night moviegoer, my shoulder to cry on, my shopping buddy, the one who always buys me chicken nuggets, and most importantly my friend.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
