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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
