You're there for each other through thick and thin.

Long-Distance Friendships, As Told by GIFs
20something

Going to college on the other side of the country has tested many of my friendships. From California to Maine, my friends and I are scattered across the U.S. It has never been easy, keeping up with each other's lives, but somehow, we always make time for one another, even with our more-than-hectic schedules. So here, I present what long-distance friendships are like through GIFs.

1. The first greeting of a call when you both haven't talked in what seems like forever


2. The long strand of text messages you send each other after a particularly tough day

3. The (almost) monthly group Skype dates

4. Seeing what they're up to on Facebook and feeling a bit sad because you're not there to be happy with them

5. When you realize that you're months away from seeing them in-person again

6. Planning all your future group adventures for summer break

7. You'll always have each other's back, even when you're in another state

8. That one inside joke someone mentions that just reminds you of all the good times in high school

9. Bawling your eyes out once in a while because you miss them so much

10. Blasting their social media when it's their birthday because you can't be there in person

11. Reconnecting after finals are over

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.
