Dear Best Friend, How Will I Ever Repay You?
Kaitlyn Welsh

Where do I even start with you, girl. For starters, I love you. You could never be replaced by any guy or any opportunity life throws at me. I’m not quite sure how the world brought us together, but I do know I am blessed beyond measures to have met you. As I’ve gone through life I’ve met friends who I thought I would be friends with forever, but turns out that wasn’t true. That’s okay, life happens. However, when I met you I knew we would be friends forever. You bring me so much happiness and I only hope everyone else can find someone to have this bond with.

You have been there through it all. From when I fell in love, to the ugly day that that ended and all the days after where you helped me get back on my feet. You’ve stuck with me through all my family issues and all the fake friends who left me. After everything that life has thrown at me, you have been the only constant in my life. I know I can text, call or show up at your door and you will always know what to say. You’re insanely good at always knowing what to say. It still amazes me.

I love all the times we drive around and listen to music with the windows down and yell at people walking down the street because sometimes we like to act like 12 year-olds. I won’t ever forget the times we get really drunk and talk about God, if aliens are real or about conspiracy theories. I really like that you don’t care what anyone thinks about you because you’re always the first one to dance with me or act a fool in front of anyone. You’re the only one who makes me laugh until I’m on the ground crying and snorting uncontrollably.

Although we have the best times, you’re always there for the bad times. I can walk up to you, start crying and not say a word. All you have to do is give a look that says “it’s okay, I get it” and I know that you get it. You know when I’m irritated or annoyed by the way my face looks. This type of bond is my most treasured bond in my life. You know how to make me feel better when my parents are making me mad or life is getting too hectic. I’m not sure how to ever repay you.

Not to mention, you are the most selfless person on this planet. I can come to you with anything and you will find a way to help me by all means necessary. You would sell every item you own just to help me out if needed. I promise I notice it all. I notice the things you do for me, and I wish I could gather enough words to let you know how happy I am to have you. I will never get tired of you. Sometimes we need a little break from each other, but that usually lasts about an hour and then we miss each other.

I want you to know you are an amazing person. You are more beautiful than you’ll ever be able to see. You light up a room and you make me a better person. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re less than you are because you are a treasure. Your laugh brightens everyone’s day and all the traits you obtain are indescribable. I know God put you on this earth for a multitude of reasons and for some lucky reason He made you my best friend. Thank you so much for being my rock, my best friend, my twisted sister, my psychiatrist and anything else I need you for. You are my other half. I hope you know that.

Love,

Your BFF

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?

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.
