A Letter to My Hometown Best Friends

Dear Best Friend,

You know exactly who you are. You must be super weird because otherwise, we wouldn’t get along so well. I get jealous when I see you post with your school best friends and I’m not there. I miss you.

I don’t know where I’d be without you. We formed a bond at such a young age that it freaks me out when I think about how long we’ve truly been friends. I love having a second family because I have you and your family. I can literally show up at your house and walk straight in and no one would question it, and you can do the same at my place. We’ve been through so much together. Middle school, high school, hurricanes, relationships, breakups, and struggling with splitting the bill (every freaking time!). At this point, you know so much about me, you can’t leave even if you wanted to. This friendship is like the FBI, you’re in too deep to quit – sorry (not sorry) but you’re stuck with me for life.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m sorry for how I looked pre-2012, and that’s when you got to know me so you clearly must love me for my personality. You’re the best, it’s right there in your title of “Best Friend”. We used to own so many “Best Friend” pieces of jewelry from Claire’s that I couldn’t keep count of which piece belonged to which best friend, granted I have lost them all in recent years.

I love having my most solid support group in a place I will always call home. I love knowing that we can go months without talking, make a plan to hang out, and pick up right where we left off without skipping a beat. I love how comfortable I am with you. I love that I don’t have to ever care about how I look in front of you because there will never be any judgment. I love your mom – actually, I love your whole family. I love living vicariously through you every once in a while. I love our bake and movie nights. I love our shopping days spent at the mall. I love the nights we go out to dinner. I love the nights we go out to the bars. I love everything we do together. Most importantly, I love you.

You’re dabomb.com. You’re amazing and funny. You’re my go-to person.

I would do anything for you and I’m so grateful for our friendship and for you.

Sincerely,

Your Lifelong Friend

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
