An Open Letter To My Best Friend

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." -- Walter Winchell

Dear Best Friend,

Let's face it, we've been through a lot together in the past seven years. We've been through good times and bad times, break-ups and make-ups, hospital trips, big life decisions, and some minor disasters. We have wiped each other's tears and made each other laugh, and have so many inside jokes that sometimes it takes a second to catch on to a certain reference. I can't imagine my life without you in it.

Both of us have turned 20 this year, and as the 365 days of 2015 gradually come to a close, it amazes me that we have come so far. It seems like just yesterday we were in eighth grade! And now here we are, having just completed the first semester of our sophomore years of college. Can you believe how far we've come from those two teenage girls who thought they knew everything?

We have certainly both grown up in the past seven years. We are figuring out what paths to take for our futures. College and living together in a dorm room has taught us valuable lessons about each other, like how we both get super irritated when people deliberately leave their things on our desks or beds or trek dirt on the floor (I can almost hear the angry sigh you make when this happens).

This year has been a big one for us. We have gotten on each other's nerves, yelled and argued, gotten so preoccupied with homework and other things that, for a while, we failed to see that it was affecting us both. And even though it seems as if I am always doing homework, I want you to know that you mean the world to me. You are the most wonderful best friend I could ever have. Yes, even when you do things to deliberately irritate me or tickle my stomach and feet, you are still the best. Truth is, I wouldn't have you any other way.

So, even as our lives are constantly changing and we may argue or squabble, cry, or get upset, I want you to know that I am always here for you. Remember, you will always be my best friend and no one can get in the way of that.

Love,

Your Best Friend

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
