For My Best Friend

Because I miss you like hell, my dear.

This is for you, Dill. Because I miss you and you're not here. Because even if we're far far far apart, you're still here with me.

You brought me in with open arms. I'll never forget when you talked about my moving in as if it were a given, not a huge decision Kat had to make. It made me feel like I had a place to call home, and people that would want me to live there. That meant more than you'll ever know.

We bonded slowly, but strongly. It started with our mutual detestation for certain people and led to our mutual love for all things Harry Potter, cheese and music that makes us get the feels we hate getting.

You went from my roommate's girlfriend to my friend. We would sit there together and do homework in between classes. You understood the beauty of being alone... together. That's right. I just brought Fall Out Boy into this. It's real now. You had bees and I had ballet and we were both tired all the time.

Then we found out we have like everything in common. Equestrian? Yep. Poetry? You bet. Converse? Always. Even the stuff we don't like to talk about we share. But for real, who can put on shoes standing up. That's just a bunch of malarkey, McMurray. See what I did there? I know you're rolling your eyes right now.

You grew from my friend to my confidant to my best friend. A title neither of us take lightly by any means. From John Mulaney to what I will refer to as March Madness to ice cream at Ziggy's wondering why those two girls were staring at us. They were just jealous of us.

Now we share everything. You're the first person I call in crisis and the first person I think of when someone talks about their best friend. You convince me to step outside my comfort zone, and you always support me. I know you'll hate me because this will give you the feels but I feel it too so don't worry. You're never alone. You're the Sirius to my James, mischievous and adventurous with an incredibly kind heart... and a pony tail.

I miss you and your pony tail. I miss when we always had lunch together and Crows Nest on the weekends. I miss having Brooklyn accents that are too on point. It's scary how good we are at that. I miss you being down for anything and always being there. We became best friends because suddenly we were just there, in each other's lives. In retrospect, it could've turned out very bad if we weren't both so awesome. But thank God we're as cool as Poison Ivy and Harley. I love ya' Dill, and I can't wait to be your official roommate and best friend next quarter.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
