The Loss of a Friend

Till Death do us Part

17
The Loss of a Friend

Well, in just 4 weeks and a day it would have been two years since you left. To this day I still constantly think about you, not a day goes by when I do not. In marriage they say "till death do us part", well does that go to friendships too? Yes, it has to.

Today was a hard day for me, and I do not know why but it just happens at the most random times. I cannot help it. It started out as a bright day and then all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with your leaving.

We do not have many pictures, and we did not hang out as much as we could have, but I have some of the most greatest memories with you. Going to parties and somehow you would always manage to hit me in the face while dancing. Or talking about how much we sucked at writing in class. When I would say something and all you would say is "Oh, Amber, it's okay." And of course how can I forget the glitter? The one thing that would never leave the stage while you were on it. I bet to this day it is still there. It is the one place you loved, besides the soccer field, being up on that stage.

I love you and miss you to this day. Besides, who doesn't? We all miss you, but you are somehow still here with us. It may not be a physical presence, but a spiritual presence. I know you are here and I know you are okay, and that somehow makes me feel okay, along with the good memories I have with you.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
