​To The Beautiful Soul That Is My Best Friend

She is everything that I hope to be someday

​To The Beautiful Soul That Is My Best Friend
Hannah Holliday

Do you believe in bonds for life? Friendships that last a lifetime, no matter the amount of distances that one day may divide them. Do you believe that friendship can withstand any sort of test? That fights can easily be mended and forgiveness found, no matter what obstacles the duo have to endure. I do, and I do because I have found a forever friend in a girl who is everything that I hope to be someday.

She has been in my life for 7 years, yet she is one of those people that I feel like I have known forever. I believe that it was not just fate but an act of God that the two of us were meant to find each other and remain in each other’s lives for a very long time.

She is one of those women who endures the everyday battles and challenges that life throws her way. She was blessed by God with her ability to express strength in all areas of her life. She is both strong in a physical and mental sense. Physically, because she has the power to do anything that she sets her mind to, and mentally because she has and always will be a fighter and a hardworking individual who does not expect things to just be handed to her.

She is able to maintain constant balance. She juggles school, multiple jobs and a social life because she is one of those rare people who is able to do it all without cracking under pressure.

I love her laugh. I love her smile, and I love every moment we spend together, because we always have the very best of times. She has been by my side through everything, sometimes I think she knows me better than I know myself.

She is my rock. There have been a lot of times when I have needed someone to tell me that everything will be okay. She makes me feel like I am the greatest person in the world even though I am the furthest thing from perfect. She reminds me of how strong and beautiful I am when I feel exactly the opposite. She has this confidence that seems to shine through in any situation.

Yes, we have fights, we get upset with each other and sometimes we hurt each other, but a perfect friendship would be boring and would never allow either of us to grow and learn from our mistakes. Our friendship can survive anything because we both know that apologizing does not mean letting go of one’s pride.

Even though this past year has been different for our friendship since we are both attending different colleges, I feel that our friendship is as strong as ever. We both equally put in effort to remain in communication, thank goodness for Snapchat and funny faces!

She has become my family, she has directed me when I have felt lost, and when I have feared of what lies ahead she has been there for me so that I don’t have to go through anything alone.

She is the girl that I aspire to be. One day, I hope you all find someone as wonderful to call your best friend.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
