7 Things I Forget to Thank My Best Friends For

Thank you for being just as weird as me.

7 Things I Forget to Thank My Best Friends For
Madeline Smith

Amber, Whitney, this one's for you.

1. Thank you for keeping me levelheaded.

It’s no secret that I can be blunt and a little too honest. Thank you for all the times you’ve let me know I probably shouldn’t say what I’m thinking and that saying nothing is sometimes the best choice.

2. Thank you for laughing at all of my dumb jokes.

I’m a corny joke aficionado and that’s a well-known fact. I will laugh at anything (except Parks and Rec, @Amber). I need someone to share my stupid jokes with and more importantly, I need someone who finds them just as funny as I do and laugh along with me – or at least fake it and pretend like you enjoy them for my sake.

3. Thank you for being down to always do something.

Pizza Inn. The Escape Room. The park before A.P. exams. The Mexican restaurant beside the mall that no one knows the name of. Football games. Glendale. Krispy Kream. Gatlinburg. The list goes on. Even if it’s just staying at home and watching dumb scary movies on Netflix, thank you for always wanting to spend time together.

4. Thank you for listening to me complain.

Sometimes I just need to whine and complain. Thank you for listening. Sometimes I’m overreacting, sometimes I’m being dramatic, but no matter what you still listen and always take my side.

5. Thank you for the little texts and Snapchats that mean the world to me.

Snapchat is the most important form of communication in our friendship. Sometimes it’s ugly selfies, ratchet ootd’s going to class, videos of my cats, or black pictures that just say “streak” in order to keep our Snapchat streak going, or the infamous “I love you” Snaps with the hearts made of random objects. They keep me going throughout the day.


6. Thank you for going on late night junk food runs.

Cookout milkshakes, Ingles birthday cakes, or even baking cookies at home occur very often when we’re all together. Thanks for indulging in my unhealthy lifestyle with me and supporting it, and sometimes even being the ringleader and dragging us out at ten at night to get food we know will never be good for us.

7. Thank you for being my fill-in boyfriend.

The little motivational texts you send, your constant support, and the dumb Snapchats we’ve already discussed keep my life so fulfilled I don’t even have time for a boyfriend. And why would I want one when I have y’all?

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.
