To the people that know me to my core and still choose to stick around.

An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Lauren Basha

It’s so fun having a best friend like you and I think of myself as the luckiest girl in the world because I have you as one of my biggest supporters no matter what.

First off, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for putting up with me, thank you for laughing with me, thank you for always putting a smile on my face, thank you for telling me how it is and always being straight up with me. Thank you for laughing at my jokes even when we both know they’re not funny. Thank you for helping me get through my struggles. Thanks for making me study. Thank you for making me who I am, you are the best.

I appreciate you more than you will ever know and I honestly don’t know what I would do if you weren’t in my life. You have helped me with so much, especially in the past few months. You have seen me at my best and seen me at my worst. Thank you for all the advice, memories and for sticking around even when I’m a mess.

I want you to know that you can come to me for anything and everything. Whether it’s 2am and you’ve got a lot on your mind or at three in the afternoon and you need to tell someone about the cute dog you just saw; I’m here. I want to hear about your life, I want you to share your stories with me. I want to be apart and I want to have each other to make fun of the jerks we encounter together.

When I think about you and all the memories we have made all I can do is smile because of how blessed I am to have you do life with me. Our spontaneous adventures, long phone calls, dinner dates, movie nights and nights that turn into mornings make me so happy to look back on.

You are an amazing person and I hope you know that. You inspire me to be a better person and teach me so much about life. I hope you know your self-worth and if you don’t or if you ever question it, I’m always here for a confidence booster.

Embrace your individuality and independence. You are an incredible human and you deserve the world. I have loved watching you do life and I can’t wait to continue to see the amazing things that happen to you and help you through the hard times.

Thank you for being my person, my rock and my best friend.

I love you to the moon and back.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
