An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home

When can I see you again?

An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home
Trisha Hassfurder

I love you more than you know.

And I wish you could have came here with me. We could have made friends, explored, and learned together, like we did at home.

It really sucks that you're still in high school. We could have gone on this grand adventure of leaving our small town in the dust together.

Instead, we have to settle for only seeing one another on my school breaks.

I miss you a lot.

I miss eating ice cream at your house until 1 a.m. on school nights and walking your dog around the block until the sun goes down. I miss making desserts together, and eating them all before your dad could get any. I miss playing board games with you and your mom. I miss telling you I'm coming over, and being there in 10 minutes or less.

I don't know exactly what's going on in your life anymore, just as you don't know details about mine, and it absolutely breaks my heart.

I have best friends at college too, and they're wonderful and you would like them a lot and they would like you. I can't wait until all of you can finally meet each other. I promise they wont take your place.

I started watching your favorite series on Netflix because it reminds me of you and that makes it so much better. I'm on season five now.

I tell everyone I know all about my best friend at home that likes goats, is in a rival high school, and does color guard. They might know you better than some of your own classmates.

Our nonstop snapchats of outfit choices, death threats, disgusting faces, and sweet 'i miss you's are some of the best parts of each day. I love when you tag me on social media in random pictures that make you think of me.

The absolute best part about coming home for a few days is always to see my dog and you.

I know this summer, I will see you every moment I possibly can and we will have the best time of our entire lives and maybe we can go on vacation and camping and swimming and watch an entire season of Netflix in one setting.

But I'll still have to leave in the fall and you'll still have to stay.

Maybe next year you can come up to visit me on weekends and I can go home more often.

We will keep in touch like we are right now, using Twitter, Snapchat, texts, calls, and Facetime. But, I promise I'll be home as soon as possible every time I leave, because I love you and I miss you.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec
IndieWire

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
