An Open Letter To My College Family

A letter to my college family.

Dear fam,

We've been through thick and in, yet we haven't managed to pull apart. Believe it or not, they say the best friendships come out of college, or really any time between eighteen and your mid-twenties. I've met my group of goofy, weird, trusting, and loyal friends that I can call family. No matter how far in life we go, or how far distance takes us, we will never break the unfarhomable connection between two hearts and two minds. One mind to think of ourselves as friends, and one heart to cherish the love we give each other.

You've got a friend in me, and I'm glad you're on this exciting rollercoaster we call life with me. Without you, there would be no Bonnie and Clyde, no peanut butter and jelly; nor would there be life without the darker times and someone to help guide us through the storm that wants to rip us from each others arms.

To break this connection, it's like not wanting to pet a puppy or even hold the puppy. You just sit there and watch the puppy as it nudges at you to play with it. We are like grilled cheese and tomato soup, we are compatible.


To the ones that have made my life the way it is now, thank you

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
