An Open Letter To The High School Friends Who Stayed

Friends help you back up when you trip, but best friends laugh at you and ask you to do it again for Snapchat. Best friends also request an article dedicated to them when they come home for fall break, so that’s exactly what I’m doing, as per your request. And hey, even though it was your request, I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to tell you guys how much I appreciate you than publishing it online.

You know those friendships where you don’t have to text every day, you don’t have to Snapchat or FaceTime every day, but whenever you hang out, it’s as if you just saw each other yesterday even though it’s really been months? That’s exactly the friendship my friends and I have.

Even when we all go in totally separate directions for school, we still act as though time never passed whenever we come back together. Conversations carry on without any struggle, we can still make each other laugh, and we reminisce about high school and all the stupid stuff we've ever said or done.

I can’t imagine complaining and annoying anyone about my problems other than you guys. Especially in college, it’s a time of constant stress and anxiety. Sometimes you just need someone to give you advice, or you just need someone to roast you.

You are constant supporters and remind me to laugh at myself when I’m feeling down. And I'd do the same for you guys in a heartbeat. Need advice? I'm here for you.

Need someone to make fun of you? Odds are, I'm already on it.

Who else would I go on random adventures with? Going to the beach in rainy weather, Halloween haunted houses, NYC trips, carnivals, escape rooms, trips out to Montauk and going to Friendly’s just order sodas.

Whether we're helping Natalie by being models for her photography class homework or making Sarah drive to the long distance adventures because Natalie and I can't, we always manage to have a blast. Every hangout, whether spontaneous or not, is never a dull moment. And we never seem to run out of things to do or talk about. You guys are my go-to people whenever I’m looking for an adventure or just a simple hangout.

I can always count on you guys for giving me honest advice, for the greatest laughs, and for always being there. A lot of people drift away from their high school friends once college starts, but I couldn’t be any more thankful that you two have stuck by me through it all since second grade. I couldn't imagine going through my college experience without you guys, so I truly thank you both.

Here's to many more years of you guys being stuck with me!

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
