An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Just about three years ago I was lucky enough to become friends with the most caring, loving, funny, generous, and selfless person. Over time, she has become more than a friend She has become my best friend and in most aspects, a part of my family.

Even though she is just about 800 miles away from me most of the time, I know no matter what she is always there for me and I know that she knows the same goes for her. I literally can count on her for anything. Something so minor as not knowing how to do my hair or makeup. Sometimes not knowing what shoes to wear or what sweater. Even something so serious as me crying and I just need her to talk me through it. Those 800 miles never get in the way of anything.

There any many things I would like to thank her for but there are just so many things you do for me that the list can go on and on.

Always being a phone call away

No matter what time it is, where you are, what you’re doing, or who you’re with, if I call, text, or Facetime you I know that I will get an answer in just about a minute. Thank you for the texts every day to tell me how much you miss me and love me, and the never-ending facetime calls, I love you.

For always being honest with me

You literally get a play by play of my day so you know all the drama, all the little details, and every move I made. Thank you for always being non-biased of the issue I have come across and always telling me if I was wrong. Although you aren’t here you are always the person that gives me the best advice. Also, thanks for always giving me the best advice and knowing what’s in my best interest. I know that since you’re not always here you just want to see me happy.

Never getting sick of me

You would think since we talk pretty much 24/7 you’d get sick of me, my attitude, my jokes, my hyper-ness, my laughing or my mood swings. NOPE. Thanks for always dealing with me. Sometimes you deal with me more than my friend’s at home do.

Always reminding me that you're always standing right behind me

Sometimes when I’m feeling down and I feel like the world is too much to handle, thank you for the never ending paragraphs reminding me how much you love me and how you’re always going to be here for me. Thank you for standing behind me in the worst times and the happiest times. You’re the best.

For making every time I see you special

No matter what it is, you always make your visits special and make me the most excited to see you. Thank you for the countdown, the surprises, the ice-cream dates, the movie dates, the music dates, the concert dates, the sleepovers, the hours of gossip, the tips on nail polish, holding me when I’m crying, making me laugh when I’m sad, the never ending jokes, but most importantly making each visit the very best.

Thank you for being the best human. I love you most.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
