An Open Letter to my Old Best Friend
Erin Reid

Hey, how's it going? I haven't talked to you in forever. I hope all is well with you and your family. Tell your mom and dad hi for me. I see them on Facebook from time to time. Your mom actually poked me the other day! I can't drive around our old neighborhood without thinking about all the stupid things we used to do like neighborhood hide and seek. On foot we thought we had some good hiding spots, but when I drive around I found some pretty great spots. No one would have ever found us!

I'm not sure why we lost contact or what happened to our friendship. Maybe it was because I moved off to a different college than you. Or was it because I started to get serious with my boyfriend and you felt like I didn't have time for you? I know it probably doesn't matter now, but I would have never put someone in front of our friendship. Yes, my now fiancé is my world, but our friendship was supposed to last forever. We were inseparable. when my fiancé and I first started dating he knew that you were my best friend and no one would come between us, and he understood and respected that. You were my day one, my ride or die. Heck, we used to ride around everywhere and almost die! We had some great times when we were younger didn't we? Just know that no matter what, I will always cherish all of the memories we made. I always see something that reminds me of you and all the great times we had.

I miss texting you as soon I wake up to see what kind of trouble we were going to get into that day. Remember that time we were running around the neighborhood and my neighbor put up no trespassing signs around his yard? Or that time we watched my neighbors get into a fight and his girlfriend or whatever she was got a sledgehammer and went to town on his truck and later got arrested? We always figured out something to do no matter what kind of day it was.

I don't know what you're doing anymore or what you're majoring in even, but no matter what just know that I'm in the back cheering you on. I hope you're living your dreams and having fun and doing you. You will always be special to me and hold a special place in my heart. We may not talk now, but I hope that some day in the future our paths will cross again and we catch up. I work all the time, but I'm always down to go eat and catch up sometime. My number is the same if you want to hit me up. I love you and you will always be one of the best friends I have ever had. Thanks for being there for me through our school days. You helped me out so much more than you'll ever know.

You're old best friend, with love

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.
