I love you, and I haven't forgotten about you

To My Family While I Am At College
Madison Hirsch

To my family while I am away at college:

First of all I want to let you all know that classes are going good, and I would tell you all if they were not. Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am getting more involved. The weather has been okay, it has not been my favorite time of the year, but it is not too hot or too cold so that is fine. And yes I saw that person’s post on Facebook the other day, and I could not believe they posted that either.

I love you all very very much, and I am so so thankful that I get to call you my family. Living far away at school makes it really hard to keep up to date when you all. I really wish that I had all the time in the world to do everything I want to do at school and to talk to you guys all the time.

Remember when I told you guys that this semester was going to be one of my busiest semesters yet? Well, it is already starting up. I have been busier than ever, and busy could be a good thing, But now thinking about it and being busy means that I do not get to talk to you all as much as I would like it. Now, I am not making up an excuse because I do not think that there is really any excuse for not talking to your family, but I am really busy.

I do really miss you guys, like a lot. I miss the funny weird times that would just randomly start up. I also really miss the family trips that we would take. But one thing that I miss the most is our talks, and family game night (even though we did not get to do that much this past summer).

I want to talk to you all literally all the time. I want you to know what is going on in my life, and how my classes are going. I want to rant to you about how stressed I am, and I want advice on how to deal with my stress. I want to know what is going on back home. I want to know all the family drama, and how everyone is doing in their sports and at school. I want to be involved in your lives and I want you all to be involved in my life.

One thing that I want you all to know is that it is okay for you all to call me first. I may not answer at first but I will call you back when I get some free time. Or please text me out of the blue and just fill me in on the details of what is going on back home, I would really like that. I swear you are not annoying me when you do that. And I promise to start trying harder to talk to you guys more. I am working on making time for my family in my busy schedule while I am here at school.

I love you all so much it is hard to explain!

With Love,

Your college student

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.

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.
