Best Friend, I Miss You

Going away to college or moving can be hard. Especially if that puts more miles between you and your best friend.

Best Friend, I Miss You.

I know we just saw each other at Christmas break, but I so wish you could be at my side, conquering the world together, like we were in high school. I mean, we didn’t win the 'Best Friends' award for nothing.

But I know you’re doing great things over there and I believe in you, even when you don’t. But, you should, because you’re awesome and one of the best people I know.

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.” There isn’t a truer statement to describe our relationship. I love that we can go days without talking, but send a picture, a .gif, a meme, anything, and we pick right back up from where we were. You understand me like no one else does. We never have those awkward endings, where it’s like we want to go do something else, but still want to be nice, so the conversation drags on. We can literally just be like “okay, we’ll talk later, gotta go sleep, to class, play a board game, watch t.v.,” etc. We just get each other. And we don’t feel pressured to respond after said activity is done. It’s natural. But we both know we’re only a call away.

I’ll never forget the first day I saw you and your family, tie die and all. I’m so blessed that you moved and that you came into my life.

We have so many memories, ones I’m sure I’ll forget someday. I should probably start writing them down, but I’m sure you’ll remind me of them later.

I love the fact that we can send a song to each other and no message is needed. The underlying message is: “Listen to this NOW. You’ll love it.”

One of my favorite qualities about you is your ability to listen. I probably take advantage of it too much. But I love how you listen, no matter how fast I talk, and you always support me, wholeheartedly. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll tell me if I’m being dumb, but you always have my back. You don’t know half the people I tell you about, but you never act disinterested, and you understand that sometimes, I just need someone to tell me I’m right, that what I’m doing is okay.

I love how you support any and all of my past and present dreams. Opening my own bakery, being an event planner, doing service. I always joke you’ll be the one to support me. So… start saving up! Just kidding! (kind of)

I love the fact that you’re never mad or jealous, either. Going to a small school means creating lasting and important relationships along the way. I can’t say the same for me. I literally get jealous at the mention of someone’s name other than your family. I’ll work on it, though. But I know that if people saw half the kind-hearted, ambitious, smart, hilarious and beautiful person I see you to be, that you’ll be famous; people fighting for a piece of your time, your heart, and your humor.

Best Friend, I miss you.

But I know we’ll see each other soon.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
