Thank you for always being here for me.

A Letter To My Best Friends Near And Far
Letitia Hatch

I don't say this enough and I'm sorry that I don't. I want you to know that you have changed my life. You have made me into who I am today. You have been by my side through thick and thin. You have seen me cry. You have seen me laugh. You have seen me struggle, you have seen me soar.

You have impacted my life so much. From late night adventures, to hiking to waterfalls. From going camping to going shopping. You never failed to be my adventure buddy. You were always ready to go, never really stopped to question what we should do. We just went with the flow. We did what we wanted to do and we lived life with no regrets. We were carefree and young.

We were always inseparable. We would call and talk to each other or text each other almost every single day. We would never miss an important moment in that other persons life. Then college came and we drifted away from each other but I knew you would always still be by my side. No matter what happened because you were my best friend, and you still are to this very day. I couldn't imagine my life without you. Thankfully I haven't had to experience my life without you by my side giving me guidance and your love.

Sometimes I think back to the good times and start to really miss you. I wonder how you are doing. I wonder if you miss me. But I know the next time I see you, or the next time we talk, we will just pick up where we left off. It will be like no time has passed. We will just be right back to where we've always been. Best friends.

Sure we have had our ups and downs and sometimes we would fight. But that's what friends do. That's what happens when you love someone so much. You just want what is best for them. You want to see them achieve their dreams. You want to see them find love and happiness. You want to see them happy. You only want what is best for them. So sometimes it leads to fights and disagreements but the love never stops. You will always be there for them. I will always be there for you. Through every one of you heartaches, through every one of your tears, through every one of your doubts. Through every thing that happens, good or bad I will be there for you. That is my promise.

Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for all the times you have been there for me, thank you for all the future times you will be there for me. I promise you that no matter what happens in life, no matter how far the distance, I will ALWAYS be here for you. I will always be your cheerleader. I will always be rooting you on. I will always be your shoulder to cry on. I will always be your best friend and I will always love you. No matter the time or distance. I will always be there for you. I promise.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
