An Open Letter To My Best Friend I Left At Home

Dear Other Half,

I just wanted to start off by apologizing for a few things: First off, I am so sorry that college has pulled me so far away from you. But I just want you to know that I am still here for you.

We have known each other for quite some time now and have created many amazing memories. Even though we are far away, I still cherish those memories dearly. We've seen each other at our highs and at our lows, helped each other through difficult times, encouraged each other to do the best that we can, and for that I am very grateful.

The next thing I wanted to apologize for, is not physically being there with you when you really need me. This honestly makes me so sad that you have to go through hardships without me there to tell you that it will all be okay, but just remember I am just a text or FaceTime away! You can call me at any time of day or night, and you bet I will drop everything to listen to you rant about the latest gossip, mean girls, boys, family, or just to have a quick laugh! Speaking of laughing, our laughs are endless when we are together because I swear we are the most hilarious people I know and should definitely have a reality television show.

Anyways, as my best friend at home, you have known me before I even went to college. You went through the biggest things of life with me. The ups and downs of other friendships for the both of us, the relationships, breakups, major life changes, and all around craziness. Without you, I honestly don't know where I'd be and I am so thankful for you.

Of course, college is fun but I look forward to the day I am home and get to make so many more memories with you. We always have the most fun times together because we are basically the same person. Being apart from your other half for months at a time is definitely one of the hardest things to do. It feels like it was just last week that we were saying ,"Only 35 more days!" And now it is down to six. Being reunited is right around the corner and I could not be more excited for our fun times this summer!

Love you more than life. Xoxo, your best friend.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
