Our smiles. Our laughs. Our adventures. Our memories.

To My Best Friend As We Start Our New Adventures In College
Abigail Shipley

After years of wishing we were done with school, the time has finally come. We're moving on in our lives and going our separate ways. As much as I wish we were continuing on at the same school, I know you'll do great things where you are and you're only a state away. This letter is basically everything I wanted to say to you when we said goodbye, but knew I couldn't or else I'd definitely turn into a puddle of tears.

Yes, this is about you.

Thank you for sticking by my side through everything over the past 15 years. Even if we don't see each other as much as we did before, I know that you'll always be there for me. Most importantly, thank you for never forgetting about me. I appreciate that more than you could ever know. While we have both been busy in our own lives, dealing with the stresses of work and school and a thousand other things, I have always been able to count on you to lessen the stress. A Snapchat or a remark about cow tipping is all it takes to put a smile on my face.

Your personality is one of a kind and I hope you're making new friends at school that love your laugh and quirks as much as I do. The funny thing is somehow your name always manages to pop up in conversations whether I'm relating a funny story back to you or someone asks about a friend back home. I'm still searching, but I know I won't be able to find anyone quite like you on campus.

People always say that you lose a lot of your high school friends once you go to college, but I know that I won't lose you. You've been by my side for too long and nothing can damage our friendship. Sure I'm going to miss our camping trips, pool parties, sleepovers, and breakfast dates, but I can't wait to see where we end up in our futures. Not many people can say that their elementary best friend still holds that title years later as they move to college, yet somehow I'm lucky enough to be able to do so. Thank you for being the greatest friend a girl could ever ask for and for supporting me in everything I do. First Watch date when we come home for break?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

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!
