7 Things You're Blessed To Know To Be True, If Your Best Friend Is Your Cousin

I was born in January and Gaby was born six weeks later in February. We've been best friends ever since. We've basically been inseparable ever since whether its spending weeks together every summer or snapchatting everyday. I love her with my entire heart (even though she goes to University of Iowa and I go to Iowa State.)

You've been at it since the beginning

Serving looks together our whole lives.

We've been best friends since we were born and there are no signs of stopping yet.

Holidays Are Never Boring

Featuring Scooter also known as The Best Dog Ever.

I mean how can you be bored when your best friend is sitting across the Thanksgiving table from you or you're opening Christmas presents with her?

You're each others number one support systems

Here we are at state cheer with our other amazing cousin Morgan.

She supports me through everything I do (even the dumb stuff) and I would 100% defend any decision she made.

You Have A Built In Travel Buddy

We went to Oregon over spring break to see my sister and it was the best trip ever.

Your parents can't say no to you traveling with family so you always have someone to set off with and lets be honest its the only person you want to go with anyways.

You do everything together

This is her first tattoo that I went with her to get (and I got one too).

There is nothing too big or too small to do together.

You can be your truest self around each other

We went to Maroon 5 together. It was one of the best nights ever.

She has seen all of my phases so I am not scared of doing whatever or being whoever in front of her.

You know you're going to have a friend forever

She is the only person I'll go to sports games with.

She's family so she can't leave me. We're still going to be tearing up at 90 like we are at 20.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
