An Open Letter To The Boy I'm Talking To

Thanks for picking me up when I'm down.

An Open Letter To The Boy I'm Talking To

Dear ___,

Sometimes it's just nice to have someone to talk to at 2 p.m. or maybe even 1 a.m. Thank you for being that person for me. Thanks for always being there for me whether I was having a good or bad day. I know that at the end of the day I could always go to you and tell you anything.

Everyone says that they love the "talking stage" because that's when you learn the most about the other person. It's exciting to learn so much about a person in a short amount of time. From strangers, to being able to name your favorite color and having goofy pictures of you on my phone. I never thought you would become such an important part of my life.

To be completely honest, I'm really glad that you and I are not rushing into things. I'm glad we are taking the time to be able to figure out what we want in our lives. Sometimes people tend to jump into something serious so fast that they end up not working out at the end. I hope you and I will be different.

I'm so glad that you and I are always on the go. Hanging out with you is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love that we can just sit there and watch Netflix on some nights. (You got me watching shows that I would've never watched on my own.) I also love that you and I can just go anywhere and still make it fun. I love that our group of friends can hangout together and not be awkward. Your sincerity to my friends truly mean a lot and I'm glad that you are becoming friends with all my friends. I knew from the moment I told my friends about you, they were excited to learn more about you.

I'm glad that you know the joy and the frustration that comes with playing golf. Being able to go to you at the end of my frustrating day and tell you about my round or telling you about this awesome shot I hit is honestly so awesome. I love that I can share such a big part of my life with you.

Whatever we may become or not become, I am truly thankful to be able to meet someone like you. You and I clicked instantly but I never knew that we would be where we are today. It's weird to think that a year ago, we were just friends that said "hi" to each other. I would have never thought that I would be this close to you back then. I also never thought I would feel like Edmond was home. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to me rant about the stupidest stuff while you nod your head and smile at me. I can't really tell if you've lost interest in what I'm saying or not because you keep smiling at me. Thank you for picking me up when I'm down, literally and figuratively. Thank you for not letting me go to my sorority stuff alone. Thank you for studying with me late at night. Thanks for going out and eating with me nonstop because I never want to cook. Oops.. butthank you for being my person.

xoxo,
G

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
