To The Best Friend That I Haven't Seen In Months

Kaylee West

Dear best friend,

If I haven't said it enough, I miss you so freaking much. Truly, I didn't realize how close we were (closer than sisters?) until we were 769 miles away. Yes, I looked it up.

I miss when you were just a 5 minute drive away. I could just hop in a car and be at your house in no time, whereas now I would have to buy a plane ticket just to see you for a couple days. Ya know, you were closer to my house than some people were to me in the SAME TOWN. Coincidence?? I think not.

I guess I never thought about the reality of it when you told me you were going to be attending a college down south in the fall. That last day I came over to help you pack up the last lamp in the living room, and take belated graduation cap pictures with you wasn't the first time it actually hit me that you were moving away. In all honesty, it wasn't until we texted the next week that it really hit me that you weren't in Connecticut anymore. I remember we were texting about how, regardless of the distance, we wanted to promise each other that we would always remain best friends. And as cliché as it was to promise such a corny thing, it meant the world to me to hear you say those words.

To tell you the truth, I get jealous. I think it's the "I miss you" emotions in my head talking, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get jealous seeing you with all your new friends, all the wonderful people you are meeting and all the wonderful memories you are making.

However, I would also be lying if I said I wasn't happy for you. It makes me overjoyed that you are someplace that makes you so damn happy, and that you are surrounded by peers and an education that makes you smile and enjoy your time at your new "second home." And let me tell you sissy, I am so so proud of you.

Last, but certainly not least, I want to make sure I tell you how much I love you. Whenever I miss you, I am reminded of the countless memories we have made over the past 10+ years -- the 3am snacks, the Justin Bieber sing-alongs, the endless "Neighbors" quotes, and the countless movie dates and sleepovers.

I hope you realize how much I cherish you and this friendship that we have, and I want you to know that I'm always here, 769 miles away (or just a text away), and I can't wait to see where life takes us, even if we aren't together for every minute of it.

With love,

Your forever friend

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
