Friends In College: Why They'll Last A Lifetime

Many say the friendships that last at least six years are the ones that last a lifetime. Well, let's take a look at our college friends. I've been in college almost five years and I can truly say that some of these people are the ones that will always hold a special place in my heart.

You meet freshman year. You're a scared little freshmen on a new college campus and in a completely different environment than what you're used to. You experience your first parties together, your first week of exams and your first real college and real world experiences. You're on your own for the most part, and these are the people who will help you figure out where your life is going.

After freshman year you'll probably end up living together on campus. These are the people who will greet you everyday when you get back from class. They'll encourage you to stop studying and go out, remind you to take care of yourself and eat some dinner and will see you at your best and worst and will not have a care in the world.

Eventually you'll all go in different directions. If you're lucky enough, distance won't matter and you'll still put in your best effort to make time for each other. After all, these are your first friends at college. They've experienced everything with you. They know who you truly are and will do anything for you when you need them.

Unfortunately your college years have to come to an end sooner or later and everyone will be getting jobs and internships. Who knows where each of you will end up. No matter what, these will be the people who will keep in touch. Distance won't matter when you have years of memories together. Although it may not be speaking and talking as often as you once used to, these relationships will last a lifetime. You'll go through life together, and if you're lucky like me, you'll just know that you'll be little old ladies causing trouble 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.
