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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
