Best Friends From 500 Miles Away

You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.

Best Friends From 500 Miles Away
BuddyTV

Four years spent together in high school, seeing each other every day, in and out of school. Now? We get to see each other through Snapchats and the occasional FaceTime. There are only two breaks where we can be together in person, and in that span of time, we have to cramp in a years worth of adventures and conversations.

One of my biggest fears when I saw you leave for school was that we wouldn't be the same. I was terrified about what it would mean for our friendship that there would be over 500 miles between us. South Carolina and Maryland are a long ways away, and if I weren't so poor due to the college life, I'd spend all the money in the world just to visit you. Nothing makes me happier than the fact that our friendship hasn't changed. We still talk everyday, something that many friends are unable to do. We have a 100+ snapchat streak going and I can always expect at least one text a day. I know that you're always there for me, even when you take hours to respond. Nobody else could withstand my constant texts and, more often than not, really stupid comments.

I can always expect the occasional drunk call and God knows you will always get one from me, because there's no one else I'd rather talk to. I can tell you everything and anything, from the most boring of topics, like school, to the most interesting, like my drunk adventures. You know that you can always depend on me for whatever you need because you're my number one.


We've gone through so much in our seven years of friendship. A lot of ups and a lot of downs, but we've stuck together through it all. Nobody knows more about me, nobody has as much material for blackmail than you. I know I can't be easy to manage, I'm moody and loud, occasionally embarrassing, but you don't seem phased by it. The mistakes that I've made, not many people could forgive, but you're one of the kindest hearted people out there.


I'm blessed to be your friend. I'm even more blessed to still be able to call myself your best friend despite the distance between us. We've been through so many adventures together and have experienced so many things as a duo. Driving endless miles in absolutely no specific direction doesn't sound all that fun, but with you, it's probably one of the most fun things to do (well, maybe that just has to do with how boring our town is).


It never ceases to amaze me, and I know it amazes you too, that despite the amount of time we spend together, whether in person or through the phone, we never run out of things to say.

I love you so much best friend.

xoxo- Gossip Girl

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
