To My Best Friend Who's Leaving For Washington

Rubelyn Bumalo

To my best friend of 10 years,

You’re moving.

You’re actually moving. In almost 2 weeks, you’re going to be gone. In almost 2 weeks, at 8 PM on a Friday night, you're going to leave in your dad's red truck. In almost 2 weeks, I'm not going to see you every Friday; every weekend; every celebration that we share as a family.

I’m going to miss you.

I won’t see you every weekend. I won’t see you at family parties. We won’t celebrate all the holidays that we usually do. I can't see you physically anymore. I won't be able to hug you anymore. I won't be able to do a lot of things we used to do together anymore. We won't be able to have movie nights or visit each other as often. You won’t come visit me at my dorm. Friday nights just won’t be the same without you.

I won’t be able to see you graduate. I won’t be able to be with you on your 18^th birthday.

But, let’s face it; I really don’t know how old you are, so you could be turning 18 next year or in 3 years.

You’ve grown into such a beautiful, lovely woman in the past 10 years. I wish you could at least stay until your junior year ends. Then we would be able to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, 4^th of July and your birthday together. Things won't be the same, but I will always cherish our memories together.

I’m going to miss you with all the life in me. Honestly, the idea of you moving in almost 2 weeks hasn’t hit me yet. I feel like it should, but it hasn’t. Never have I ever thought that it would be you moving away. I used to think it were one of the others, but no, it had to be you. And, it's okay.

Good luck in Washington. You're going to begreat. Don't be scared! School is going to be the same as it was here: a mess. But hey, cheers to new beginnings! Cheers to new memories. Cheers to everything that's going to happen.

I really hope that you'll be happy there.

I wish you and your family nothing but good luck and happiness. You guys are going to do wonderful there. Just remember that if you guys ever need anything, anything at all, we're all here for you. We're all rooting for you guys. We're all here praying for your whole family. We're all just a phone call away. Just remember that.

We all love you. Mahal kita, ading.

With all my love,

Ate

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
