Dear Best Friend, This Isn't Goodbye

One of my hardest see-you-laters.

Dear Best Friend, This Isn't Goodbye
Crimson Jeffers

Circumstances have called you home, and I think we both know it's for the best.

I just want to let you know that I'll be fine, and so will you. I miss you more than you will ever know. I am already struggling, running errands all by myself. I miss coming home from work and complaining to you and you suggesting that we binge watch a show on Netflix rather than being productive. I even did a thing... I got my ACT card fixed so I can get into the house without you.

The first week was the hardest. I couldn't stand being at the house for more than an hour. I definitely couldn't handle going up to our floor, or even towards your room. On our half snow day, I finally decided that I would have to come home eventually. I even went into your room.

Guess what? I didn't even tear up.

Of course, I'm sad still, but I know you wouldn't want me to mope around all semester. I'm sad you're missing celebrating your 21st here in Tuscaloosa, Anchor Ball, and keeping me entertained at chapter — just to name a few. But I'm holding onto the hope that you're going to grace me with your presence again soon. I'm so thankful you didn't just drop off the face of the earth completely. I'm glad I'm still able to hear your voice over the phone and see your face via Snapchat. I'm thankful for your friendship, and I'm thankful you're my sister.


10 hours isn't really that far, LITB,

Your best sista friend.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
