An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Sometimes we just really need to acknowledge our ride-or-die girls.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

There are probably around a million and five articles out there about best friends and why "mine is way better than yours." Well, consider this one the million and sixth article, because sometimes people need to hear just how much they mean to us.

Dear Best Friend,

You are the person I turn to for absolutely everything, big or small, and that means the world to me. I'm not sure how long I could live without being able to tell someone my exact, step-by-step thought process about overthinking something that won't be important in 2 months. You save me from my own insanity, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Sitting back and thinking about an awesome memory from a spur-of-the-moment adventure is great, but being able to think back to the nights all we did was drink wine, watch movies, and bitch is even better. I remind myself that it's okay if we don't go out and do something, because the party is right wherever we are. We laugh, cry, and ugly-Snapchat away the night, and honestly, I'd rather be doing that over anything else (most of the time—we gotta stop being such homebodies).

We have a great time just driving to breakfast and dancing in the car like complete imbeciles because, who cares if anyone sees? We look adorable doing it, and we have no intention of stopping. Catching up after an absence of a couple days or a couple months is slightly obsolete, only because we might not see each other every day, but we sure as hell do text on the reg. Except face to face, we can see each other's exact expressions when we talk about something we definitely shouldn't have done (it so seemed like a good idea at the time).

Every best friend relationship is different—they grow from being new friends, to good friends, to best friends, to basically being sisters. Every step of the way to you becoming my family has been emotional, exciting, nerve-wracking, and absolutely beautiful.

I have absolutely zero idea what I would do without you, and I have no intention of ever finding out. Sorry love, you're sorta stuck with me, and I know we wouldn't have it any other way.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
