To My Best Friends, Thank You

​ “You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” -Miriam Adeney

To My Best Friends, Thank You
Nicole Gambino

Not everyone is lucky enough to say they found their best friend in 6th grade. Thankfully, I can say I not only found one best friend at the age of 11, but two. You both deserve to hear this from me everyday. Thank you for your friendship and all that you do for me..

Thank you for being the two most selfless and down to earth people I have met thus far in life. You guys have never failed to drop anything/everything for me, and you would do just about anything to help someone out. Both of your hearts are filled with nothing but love and kindness.

Thank you for having that crazy, goofy personality. This is easily my favorite thing about the both of you. Whether it’s hideous double chin selfies that you send me once a week, awful dance moves, or overall acting like a weirdo, you never fail to make me laugh till I cry. Sometimes I catch myself watching old videos of the both of you making a fool out of yourself just for a good laugh. Even from a distance, you tend to make my bad days better.

Thank you for making me feel loved and good enough. On some of the worst days of my life, you were always their to cheer me up and keep me going. You consistently put positive thoughts in my head.

Thank you for being spontaneous. I know I can always count on the both of you if I randomly wanted someone to get a tattoo with me or possibly jump out of a plane. Even if sometimes I have to beg you to do something a little reckless, you never let me down. I was definitely blessed to find two people who are just as crazy as I am.

Thank you for always being a phone call away. Even though college has taken us in different directions, you’ve both always remained right over the phone if I needed you. Whether it's been to talk about life, vent my heart out, or cry for hours, you've always answered and gave me your full attention.

And lastly, Thank you for all the advice. From problems with school, to family, or boys, you've helped me out with it all. You never sugarcoated anything or pushed me in the wrong direction. You were always there when no one else was. You told me the truth, as hard as it was to hear. The honest advice and opinions throughout the years have helped me make so many better decisions.

The both of you have no doubt changed my life and formed me into the person I am today. It’s said that you find your best friends in college, but I know for a fact that I found my lifelong friends 8 years ago in middle school. I don't know how or why I was so blessed to have met you guys at a young age. Being able to experience the true meaning of friendship throughout middle school and high school was such a gift. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be at your weddings and watch you both grow into successful, beautiful adults.

I love you both.

Thank you for everything.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
