10 Of My Best Wishes For My Best Friend Graduating

Celina Leggiere & Taryn Leighton

Now here we are. As many times as we said "I feel like it'll never come" or "it can't come soon enough" now, I'm begging you to stay. Now I'm begging you to find and or accept a job in this town that you've called home for the last four years. I am begging you to at least stay over the summer. I'm begging you to stay over my house every night because I don't want to lose hours with you.

But my begging is selfish and in reality, I couldn't be more proud of you. In fact, not only do I envy you but you've become someone I look up too. It's been hard watching you do all the senior stuff this spring. From taking your graduation pictures to going with you to pick up cords, and now, I have to watch you walk across that stage. I can promise you the tears that come will be a mixture of happy and sad. Proud tears because you earned this. You worked hard for this. Happy tears, well because when you're happy I'm happy and I know this was your dream, your goal.

Sad tears because now there's only a maximum of 72 hours before the real world rips you from my hands. But what it can't rip you from is my heart. My heart is so full for you. My heart has tons to say to you but even more to wish for you.

1. Never forget what you deserve.

As you go into the world, know that you deserve the world and don't settle for anything less.

2. Life becomes all that you want it too.

They say "life's what you make it." I hope yours becomes everything you want and make it to be. I hope you make it just as good as you have made mine.

3. Your dreams stay big.

You deserve that dream house. You deserve that dream car. You deserve that dream career. You deserve that dream love. But as much as you deserve all those things, keep dreaming and keep dreaming.

4. Your worries stay small

I hope you never have to carry more than you can hold. Your worries stay about your successes.

5. When a door closes, you walk and find a window.

I've watched as you have never given up. For example, here you are graduating. It hasn't been easy for you. Lots of doors shut in your face. But you always found a window to crawl through. You learned to use each challenge as an opportunity to overcome the problem, despite adversity.

6. You stay true to yourself because I love that person. Be you.

You gave "original" a new definition for me. You taught me that it was okay to be myself as I watched you be unapologetically yourself.

7. You change the world

The world needs you more than I do. The great person you are, the heart you have, the world desperately needs you. So go, go change the world.

8. Cherish every moment

Even if you're running someone coffee. Know that is where you are supposed to be. Do it with a grateful heart & watch it bring you to many new starts.

9. Follow your heart

The heart you have some people would die for. You can't teach people to love like you do. You can't teach people to have compassion like you do.

10. Know somebody loves you & wants the best for you.

When you feel unloved, alone, drained, exhausted, know there's someone out there rooting for you. Loving you from 1,000 miles away. Ready to watch you chase and accomplish everything you want in life. That person is me. I love you.

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?

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
