You’re one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Dear best friend,

Whenever I think about how long we’ve been friends, it makes my heart fill with happiness. You have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. We basically grew up together, and then started our lives together. One day we were playing kickball at the playground, and the next day we were talking about college together. God definitely knew what he was doing when he put you in my life, and I’m so blessed to say you’re still my best friend.

Our memories together are ones I will never forget. From walking around the neighborhood for hours, to going on vacations, to just driving around, we always have some of the best times together. Sometimes we will spend the whole time messing around, others will be times where we have deep conversations about life. No matter what we’re doing or where we are, there is never a dull moment with you. That is something about our friendship I will forever cherish.

Throughout the years, you have always been there when I needed you. You have always been there to offer advice, to listen when I needed to vent, and to provide comfort in times it was needed. There was never a moment that I doubted your ability to cheer me up, because no matter what the situation you always knew how to make me feel better. Somethings never change, because still to this day I can always go to you when I need someone.

Now, we’re both college students and we don’t talk much, we barely see each other, and our schedules seem to conflict, but you’re still my best friend. No matter how much time passes before we’re able to see each other, no matter how long we’ve gone without talking, I know our friendship remains the same. Distance plays a huge role in failing friendships, but that will never happen to us.

No matter where life takes us you’re always going to be my best friend. You’re always going to be the one I confide in when things are rough. You’re going to be the one I call when I have exciting news. You’re going to be known as family to my future children. You’re going to forever be my person.

Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for dealing with me for all of these years. I don’t know what I would do without you.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
