336 Miles

Distance doesn't matter because she is my person

336 miles.

Five hours and 45 minutes.

But those are just numbers.

Best friends will stick with you through thick and thin, and that's how you know they are real friends. Making friends and then moving away is hard, but when you have a best friend like mine distance doesn't matter.

My best friend is my rock, she's crazy and annoying and beautiful and I love her more than anything. She's basically my soul sister. She helped me get through starting a new school, she was my first friend there, and she helped me get through having to pack up and leave her. Even though we live so far away from each other, we still make regular trips back and forth whenever we get the chance. I only see her for a few days every couple of months but that doesn't change anything between us.

We can go weeks without talking and pick right back up where we left off. People will enter and exit your life at the most unexpected times and she entered mine when I needed her the most. And I hope she never leaves because without her I would be lost.

We basically lived together the first full summer I lived there and we worked together and pretty much the same schedule. Some days she would have to work late and show up at my house at 1 A.M and come jump on my bed to tell me good morning. She had her own side of the closet, her own drawer, and her own side of the bathroom. On pay days we would go to Walmart and stock up on lunch items for the next 2 weeks. When we had good paycheck we would go on best friend dates and go to the movies or out too eat.

I miss her crazy self so much.

We were meant to be best friends. From day one we just clicked, and even though we get on each other's nerves most of the time she's still going to be there for me and I'll always be there for her. She has been an absolute blessing and I thank God everyday that He put her in my life when He did. We both ended up getting tickets to the same concert and didn't know about it until a few days later, and I think that was God giving us a chance to see each other because neither of us had been in the best moods and we really needed the other. We both have decided to go to the same college, and we didn't know until I asked her while I was filling stuff out. The fact that I get to be close to my best friend everyday in just a few short months makes me more than happy.

I could easily go on and on about how absolutely amazing my best friend is but then I would never be able to finish this because there is an endless number of reasons as to why she my person. Because who else could I talk to about a new guy every few days and then not think I'm crazy because she's just as crazy as I am.

She means more to me than she will ever know.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
