Thank you for always being there.

Why Best Friends Are Important
Sophie Sajdak

Everyone has that one friend they can tell anything and everything to. They know all the dirt about us, but still loves who we are as a person.

1. They Know Too Much

My best friend knows way too much about me to ever allow us to not be friends. There are lots of secrets that only those best friends know and lots of crazy memories. Only my best friend could bring up something from the past that will have me laughing for days. Basically, my best friend has more than enough dirt to blackmail me.

2. Friends For Over 12 Years

So much time has passed, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else beside me throughout all of the experiences. There’s a saying that if you’re friends for over seven years, then you’re going to be best friends for life. Even being 63 miles away at different colleges, she never fails to still be there for me when I need it the most.

3. The Only Person I Trust

There is no one else that I would confide in other than my best friend. They know more about me than anyone else on this planet and I’m okay with that. They always have your best interest in mind. They care about you and only want what is best, even if they get mad that you’re texting that one boy who doesn’t deserve you again. No matter how many times they yell at you, they just want you to be happy and they continually tell you over and over again.

4. Knows Me Better Than I Know Myself

Whether it’s little motivation texts when you need them the most or even little inside jokes, they’re always there at the right time. Even driving in the car and they play the song that you wanted to hear, but just couldn’t think of the title. Or shopping at TJ-Maxx and they find a super cute top that they know you will love. They can always tell when you’re in a bad mood before you even talk to them

5. My Person

Who else would take their time to drive around eating cheap breadsticks while listening to break up songs from the early 2000s with you? Who else would have 4 am phone calls because you can’t stand being alone for much longer. And it always seems that the two of you are always going through the exact same things at the exact time; always floating in the same boat!

Through it all, you both continue to support each other, and that’s true friendship. So thank you to my best friend for everything you do!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2000
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
