An Open Letter To My Best Friend

A long-awaited thank you and apology

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
me

Dear best friend,

there's more than one of you, but each of you mean the world to me. I know I don't thank you enough for what you do for me, so this is for you. Thanks for:

1. Always being there.

No matter what time of the day (or night), you're always there to listen to my gossip or my problems when I'm fighting with someone or if I'm just bored and want to leave wherever I am. You always calm me down, or, in some instances, hype me up to do something somewhat stupid but it's usually a good story in the end.

2. Doing 'hood rat' stuff with me.

Whenever we're together, we always find the dumbest, most entertaining things to do. Other people probably look at us and wonder what's wrong with us but we're usually having the time of our lives, even on that 10 minute trip to Broadway to get slushies in your mom's car or when we missed the light turning green because we were jamming out to some random song in the car.

3. Sticking it out through the ugly middle school stage.

This doesn't need much explanation but you were there through the inch thick eyeliner and blue eyeshadow along with the horrible choice in boys and even worse choice in clothes and accessories. We always managed to somehow switch around clothes with each other because you always had the cuter clothes.

Throughout the years, there were things I let you do that I shouldn't have and that I should probably apologize for now, since we're so far away. Best friend, I'm sorry for:

1. Not telling you that you looked orange.

I'm sorry I never told you that your tanning lotion was a bad choice. I thought it looked good at the time but now that I see photos, just no. In my defense, you let my blue hair go, so we're even.

2. Letting you get upset over a boy who doesn't matter.

I'm sorry I let you stress about a boy who doesn't matter. He wasn't good enough and won't ever be, so don't count on him to come back. I'm sorry that boy didn't realize how amazing of a person you are and doesn't see you the way me and your family see you.

3. Always posting ugly pictures of you.

I'm not actually sorry for this one but I thought I should at least try and make an effort to halfway apologize but hey, you always look great. No picture is a bad picture, some are just not as flattering as others.

The amount of time you've been friends with someone doesn't determine how close you are. No matter how many fights you've gotten in or how many boys you've cried over, your best friend is the person who came and next left. So, to every best I have, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being there for me and not leaving me at my lowest lows and highest highs. I love you!!

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
