An Open Letter To The Boy I'm Talking To
Grace Shin

Dear ___,

Sometimes it's just nice to have someone to talk to at 2 p.m. or maybe even 1 a.m. Thank you for being that person for me. Thanks for always being there for me whether I was having a good or bad day. I know that at the end of the day I could always go to you and tell you anything.

Everyone says that they love the "talking stage" because that's when you learn the most about the other person. It's exciting to learn so much about a person in a short amount of time. From strangers, to being able to name your favorite color and having goofy pictures of you on my phone. I never thought you would become such an important part of my life.

To be completely honest, I'm really glad that you and I are not rushing into things. I'm glad we are taking the time to be able to figure out what we want in our lives. Sometimes people tend to jump into something serious so fast that they end up not working out at the end. I hope you and I will be different.

I'm so glad that you and I are always on the go. Hanging out with you is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love that we can just sit there and watch Netflix on some nights. (You got me watching shows that I would've never watched on my own.) I also love that you and I can just go anywhere and still make it fun. I love that our group of friends can hangout together and not be awkward. Your sincerity to my friends truly mean a lot and I'm glad that you are becoming friends with all my friends. I knew from the moment I told my friends about you, they were excited to learn more about you.

I'm glad that you know the joy and the frustration that comes with playing golf. Being able to go to you at the end of my frustrating day and tell you about my round or telling you about this awesome shot I hit is honestly so awesome. I love that I can share such a big part of my life with you.

Whatever we may become or not become, I am truly thankful to be able to meet someone like you. You and I clicked instantly but I never knew that we would be where we are today. It's weird to think that a year ago, we were just friends that said "hi" to each other. I would have never thought that I would be this close to you back then. I also never thought I would feel like Edmond was home. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to me rant about the stupidest stuff while you nod your head and smile at me. I can't really tell if you've lost interest in what I'm saying or not because you keep smiling at me. Thank you for picking me up when I'm down, literally and figuratively. Thank you for not letting me go to my sorority stuff alone. Thank you for studying with me late at night. Thanks for going out and eating with me nonstop because I never want to cook. Oops.. butthank you for being my person.

xoxo,
G

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.
