Thank You To My People

A little extra thanks to just a few of the friends that make my world go 'round.

Thank You To My People
Victoria Aurand

I've just returned home from a weekend with some of the best friends in the world. These girls have been around for years and the time we got to spend together just reminded me how thankful I am to have kept them through high school and to continue to keep them around as we grow through college and into our adult lives.

Today I wanna thank them. And not just the handful that I was physically able to spend time with these past few days, but all those who have been and continue to be there for me in every way, since I can remember. Without these girls in my life, I don't know where or what my l life would be honestly. They've been with me through it all. They've been my shoulders to cry on. They've been the cause of sore abs from laughing. They've been the ones I turn to for advice. They've seen my highest of highs and lowest of lows. They have been my inspiration to cheer up on a hard day. They have been there.

Being scattered across the state, hours apart, it can be easy to forget how lucky I truly am to have such a strong, loving, supportive group of people to back me up and love me through it all. But just an uplifting text, a quick phone call or even just on kind word remind me that they will never leave my side and I am forever grateful. It may time simple and I know everyone has those people they can count on, but I really think I have some of the absolute best. It hasn't always been easy. There are arguments, disagreements, tears and fights between us at times, but when it comes down to it, we know that we are ALWAYS better with each other in our lives. I know we all have other friends and that is amazing, but I know even as new people come into our lives, we will still have each other and I'm thankful for that too!

These people inspire me to be better every day. The way they live, believe, love and just take on this world makes me want to be the best version of myself possible and by having them in my life, I know I am getting closer and closer. So I'll say it over and over again, but thank you girlies. For being not just my friends, but my second family. I know that when it comes down to it, you love me unconditionally and would do anything for me. I love you girls and can't wait to see where this absolutely crazy, adventure of a life will take us. Thanks for being my people. I know the saying is "my person" but there is no way I can limit to just one...if you knew these people, trust me, you'd understand.

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.
