Thank you for making me brave enough to do the things I'm afraid of.

Thank You To My Best Friend And Partner In Crime

Angela Cripps

I have always been afraid of everything.

I worry too much and I question everything before I actually go through with it. I was always too afraid to step out of my comfort zone and go places, or do things I had never done before. But I can say that I was given a friend who made me unafraid of taking chances or trying things I’ve never tried before. This person is my best friend and someone I like to call my partner in crime.

Having a best friend means that you have someone to bring out the best in you always. It also means that you have someone to tell you how it is when you need it. You always have a person to edit the text messages that you’re afraid to send to someone, before you send them. You always have someone to call, even if it is just to say that you binged on another season of your favorite show on Netflix or simply because you want to hear their voice. But most importantly, having a best friend means you have someone who is with you in every crazy situation you get yourself into.

If you are anything like me, you are the type of person who is nerdy, and goofy, and awkward, and all of these traits are what gets you into crazy situations. If you are a fan of the show Friends, think of the character Monica and that pretty much sums me up. But thankfully, having a best friend who is not as weird as you are (to the public eye) balances out your weirdness.

So, to my best friend and my PIC, thank you. Thank you for laughing at every extremely lame joke I make, and for pointing out how very lame they are. Thank you for dealing with my crazy quirks like packing 50 bags for one overnight trip somewhere, or dealing with me always being late to everything, because I wait to get ready until five minutes before we need to leave. Thank you for being blunt and telling me exactly what I need to hear, when I don’t want to hear it. Thank you for calling me out when I just want to sit at home and sleep and for verbally dragging me out of my house.

Most importantly, thank you for making me brave enough to do the things I’m afraid of doing, even if I have no reason to be afraid. Thank you for being the only person I love going on road trips with because although I hate being in cars, you make it fun. Thank you for making me feel slightly less embarrassed for making videos of us singing songs and posting them on the internet to publicly humiliate ourselves, and to be okay with it. Thank you for dragging me to all the places I was too anxious to go to and just telling me over and over that it will be fun because it always was.

Having you as a best friend has helped me be who I want and need to be. So, thank you for being the best PIC ever.

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

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
