To My Friends While I Have A Boyfriend
self

Not many friends are understanding when their friend gets a significant other. However, I have been blessed with amazing friends who are so supportive of me and my relationship and I couldn't be more grateful.

My four best friends have been there for me during my past relationships, and they are there for me through this one. They understand that they are just as important as my boyfriend is, and never make me feel like I have to pick and choose between him and them. I will always pick up a phone, answer a facetime call or text, and be there for them just as much as I was prior to getting into my relationship. I will always make equal time to see them now that I am in a relationship, just as much as when I was single. Bottom line: you guys will always be my best friends, even if I have a significant other.

Not only are you all there for me and don't treat me differently now that I have a boyfriend, but you all make an equal attempt to get to know him. Whether it be that you have added him on social media, talked to him via text, or even wanted to make plans with me and him, it means the world to me. You all actually want to get to know him for who he is, and not just because he is my boyfriend. You guys always like the pictures we post on social media, even sometimes make cute comments about our relationship, and nothing makes me happier than knowing that I have all of your support. Whenever we do talk, you all make sure to ask me how he is doing, and how my relationship is. Not only do you take an interest in my life, but you all also make sure to acknowledge and care about my boyfriend as well.

However, you still make sure to be my best friends first and foremost. When I first got into this relationship, you were all some of the first to ask a zillion questions about him to find out about him. You also ensured me that no matter what happens, you guys would be there for me. And, the most best-friend thing of all is that you promised to make sure our friendship wouldn't change just because I was in a relationship. And truthfully, that meant the world to me more than you guys know.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
