To My Best Friend As I Leave For College
McKenzie Brouk

Dear BFF,

Never did I think that this day would actually come, and that in less than two weeks I will be over 1,000 miles away from you, my best friend. I feel so lucky to have met someone like you. You're one of the kindest, most hard working, and caring people I have ever met, and I'm honored to call you my best friend. At the beginning of summer it seemed as we had so much time with each other, but in reality time passed so quickly. I'm sitting here writing this article in tears because I can't even begin to imagine the thought of not seeing you everyday at the rink, or be able to pick up my phone to text you to hang out whenever we want. I'm writing this to say thank you for being you, and for being the best friend I ever had.

Thank you for always being there for me countless times for whatever the reason was I could always count on you to be right there next to me. Times where I was sad over stupid boys, family reasons, school, or basically anything else you always knew the right words to say or how to cheer me up. You're the first person I text in a time of crisis or when I have something super exciting to tell. Thank you for loving me for who I am, and never questioning our friendship. I find it crazy that we have never gotten in one fight or argument, but then I think that just shows how strong our friendship is.

I'll never forget our countless memories, and I absolutely cannot wait to create new ones. Remember when we made homemade pizza that we doubled the ingredients on, and it ended up overflowing? Yeah that was pretty awful. Let's just say baking is not our strong suit although I think were getting better. We have been on so many trips together like California, Disney World, Wisconsin, Chicago where we created memories that will last a lifetime. I never get tired of hanging out with you because there is always a new adventure. I love that I can look at you with one look and we can know exactly what the other is thinking.

I am going to miss you so so much, but promise me that you will come visit me all the way up in Michigan. I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see all the things you accomplish this year! Thank you for being my bridesmaids enthusiast, incredibly talented, and caring best friend.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
