To My Best Friends As I Go Off To College, I Can't Thank You Enough
Madison Burkhalter

Dear best friends,

10 years and counting this friendship has been going strong. Who knew that the swim team would be the first thing to bring us all together? Well, I sure am glad it did, because it gave me you two. The strongest, kindest, most loving people I have in my life...my best friends. Thank you for always being there for me at all times of the day and through the ups and the downs. You are the greatest humans on the planet and the sisters I never had. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

From the late night adventures to the relaxed days inside, there is never a dull moment when we are together. Jamming in the car is always better with you two. I can surely say that being a year apart in school most definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. I am glad that the world has given me two people that I know I can always count on. We have all been through so much together, and I know that there is more to come.

In less than a month I will have a tear-filled goodbye as I move 5 hours away to a new state and a new place. I know that some friendships won't survive this time away, but I know ours is a friendship for a lifetime. This bond will never break and you are the people who have been and will always be there for me. Thank you both for loving me for who I am, supporting my decisions and being my number one fans. Leaving you two will be one of the hardest things I will have to do, but I cannot wait to see what is ahead for you guys and to see you rock your senior year.

So, to my partners in crime, I love you both so much. Thank you for the support of a lifetime. It won't be the same not being around the corner from both of you. I can't wait to see where our lives take us and the people and adults we become when we can tell our kids we have been friends forever. The memories will last forever, and we will always be making more because we are better together.

Thank you for being the best friends in my life. Girl gang forever.

Love always,

Your extremely thankful bestie

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
