5,000 Miles Won't Keep Us Apart

Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind.

5,000 Miles Won't Keep Us Apart
Destiny Brilene Haunss

There are people out there who lose touch with their friends when one moves far away, but that didn't stop us. We went from being 5 miles away to 1,135 miles away to over 5,000 miles away and that didn't stop our friendship. You have expanded your journey and wrote a new chapter in your life. Your journey began with a first love and that love grew stronger. The memories we had will last forever and always be cherished. Being so far apart, made our friendship grow and became stronger than ever. We instantly met in high school out of random and became sisters. So here is my letter to my Belle.

Some may call you Amanda, Mands, or That Married Hawaiian Girl but I call you Belle. Yes, Belle as in Beauty and the Best. Thank you for being my best friend even if you're not physically here on Long Island with me. Having a best friend that lives so far away sucks but once reunited, we pick up as if we never were apart. You're my go-to for everything. You're the one I call when I'm crying at 3 a.m. because I know you'll be up. The time difference sucks but benefits in a way. Coming to see you back in May after our journey through our Magic Kingdom in January, I saw how much your life has changed. Your life in Hawaii is an experience and a journey that you took on with your husband and I really couldn't be any more proud of you.

Thank you for being the best friend a little mermaid could ever have. Considering you live in a kingdom on ground as I live in a castle underwater. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. As you're walking around on what are those called? Oh right, feet. Because you have those to walk along your new journey. As I wanna be a part of your world, I have to find a way that allows me to swim into a new lifestyle. You're the Belle to my Ariel.

Xoxo

For better or for worse

"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!

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
