A Letter To "Swagmail from EmmaD"

I just want you to know that I love you so much and your friendship means more to me than I can even describe. We have known each other for nine years now and you became my best friend from one of the first moments that we met. You have been there through all the ups and the downs, the super late nights, and really early mornings. You let me shop through your closet when I needed something to complete my outfit. We jammed out to music together, especially One Direction, and we went to concerts together. Truly, you were always there, and girl, I cannot thank you enough.

I remember when we agreed to tell each other which colleges we were going to our senior year of high school, and I also remember how excited we were that we happened to decide to go to the same college. We made so many plans together. We were going to go to every football and men's basketball game together, hammock, and workout together. Eat every meal that we could, text and call each other all of the time. We were going to do everything together like we did in high school just in college, and yet, our relationship could not be more different now.

We barely talk. You send me a picture on Snapchat everyday just to keep our streak alive. We don't hammock or go out to dinner anymore, heck I feel like I am lucky if I see you on campus once a month, but I want to let you know that I still think about you all the time and I hope that you are okay. A One Direction song will come on every once in a while, and it immediately brings me back to their concert that we went to, or that one time you tripped in my basement and completely wiped out from dancing around too hard.

I would be lying if I didn't say that it has been hard knowing our friendship is not the same. It is hard not seeing you every day or feeling like I could talk to you because I know that you would always answer. It is especially hard knowing that we are from the same town but mostly live in the same city. We go to the same college, and yet, it is like we barely know each other now. It is hard for me to comprehend what happened and how we got here, and maybe the answer is just that we simply became busy.

I know that I am graduating a year early, and therefore, we are going to lose a year of going to school together, but I just want to let you know that no matter where we both end up, I am always going to love you like my adopted sister, and you are always going to be one of my best friends. No matter what time of the day it is, I will be here. If you want to shop through my closet, you can always help yourself. If you want to jam out to some more music or put on some old One Direction jams, I will clear my schedule. As hard as it is to accept and realized that our friendship has changed, I am excited to see what our future holds because I know that true friendship never really ends.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
