Thank You College Best Friends
Erica Smay

Thank you best friends. You are truly incredible. I think we agree that fate brought us to the same college. We met on day one and are about to start year four together. We share passions; we share stories. You have been there through thick and thin. We have laughed. We have cried. There are no other people I’d want by my side. You understand me in ways that I never thought anyone could. You know everything about my family and I know all about yours. The memories I have made with you have been unforgettable.

What I love is how honest you are with me. You help me pick out outfits. If I’m overreacting, you explain to me how ridiculous I’m being. If I’m in panic mode, you calm me down. If I don’t know what to say, you find the words and say it for me. You’re my go to’s any day of the week. I’m not sure I’d be finishing up year four of college if I didn’t have you by my side. I was blessed with down-to-earth, crazy, loving, and inspiring best friends. You push me to be better every day. If someone hurts one of us, they’ve certainly hurt both of us. We are a team.

I know that our friendship will not stop the day that we graduate. We’re stuck with each other for life. If we ever have a disagreement, we talk it through. I find that pretty amazing because it is never easy, but always turns out better in the end. I love looking back at every late night. The ones that we spent in hotel rooms. The late nights out on the town. All of the inside jokes (I'm going to go with tomato face) and remember whens. Halloweens, birthdays, and other holidays. Knowing I'd get to be reunited with you from a week off, made the day after Christmas practices bearable. I even enjoy thinking of the early mornings, because none of us enjoyed them. No makeup, bruises, sweat, and tears. The verge of passing out, trying to finish that last suicide. Best friends and teammates, there is no better combo. I’m glad we stood side by side and have shared three wonderful years of our lives together.

Where will life go from here? Talking about that last year, the final round that we are absolutely sure we will be together. It is scary. It is exciting. I can not wait to see where life takes all of us. The little memories will live forever. But until then, let’s make the most of it. The year of our lives. Those things we have always dreamed of doing, let's do them. I never thought I would find friends as wonderful as you. Since I did, this article is dedicated to you. Here’s to the past, the present, and the future. Thank you best friends.

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.
