Why Your College Friends Are Your Forever Friends
Elizabeth Streber

College is so difficult, between classes, if you have to have a job to support yourself. It's stressful to say the least. Especially finding a really great support system to help you get through the stressful times of college. It's hard to find that system, but when you do it's like you have finally found your place in the world. They become your forever friends very fast, but its always worth the ride.

During your college years you meet a lot of temporary people and no one wants to admit that, but it is true. Although you meet a lot of temporary people, you also meet the people you will call your forever friends. You will click with them and they will understand you better than you ever thought anyone could. They will teach you more about yourself than you could ever.

You can meet them at any given time in your college years, but it's usually freshman year when you make a lot of connections with people. You spend literally 24/7 with these people. You live within 10 minutes of each other, it's kinda hard to not see each other everyday. You feel as if you can talk about anything and everything because you're so comfortable with them, so fast.

They help you through everything because chances are they are going through the same things. They are broke and stressed just like you, so they obviously can relate to every situation you are in. They will spend the night in the library and make sure you stay up so you can maybe pass that bio final.

They will pick you up when you've fallen and you can't get up. They're pretty much your life alert and you can't live in a world without them. Forever friends are there for you when you get your heart broken and no one else notices. They'll hold a grudge for you because they know you're not capable of it. You may only know them for a month but they instantly become a permanent part of your college journey and life.

These forever friends will be with you through everything during and after college. They'll be at your wedding, at your birthday party in 14 years, at your children birthday parties. These friends you meet in college are the ones you should never take for granted and the ones that you'll want to travel half around the world to see. Thank your college friends, your forever friends, every chance you get. Thank you, my forever friends, you mean everything and more to me.

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.
