An Open Letter to My Guy Best Guy Friend

Thank you for everything.

To the boy that hated me the moment you met me, thank you for giving me a chance.

Thank you for sharing your spot light with me even though you hated to. My life was forever changed the day you walked into the room and rolled your eyes at me. At that moment, I would have never thought in a million years that we would be where we are now. Thankfully, you gave our friendship a shot, and for that, you've completely changed my life.

I don't know how I ever did life without you. Thank you for correcting me when I have bad tastes or ideas. Thank you for never letting me go shopping or to eat alone, for always giving me an excuse to leave home, and for never letting me drive because we both know I'm no good.

Thank you for laughing at my jokes even when they aren't funny. Thank you for reading my posts before I post them and giving me your opinion so I don't make myself look dumb, for always being down to do any of my dumb ideas, and for never allowing anyone to treat me like crap. Thank you for everything you do for me, it'll never go unnoticed.

Our memories together will last a lifetime. We have done it all. We have written a comical song and sung it in front of 300+ people, traveled to 5 states, jammed at concerts, went on more adventures than I can count, worshipped Jesus, stayed up until odd hours of the night having deep conversations, prayed, cried, and laughed so much together.

If we added up all the time we spend together, I can guarantee that 3/4 of it is spent laughing. I wouldn't have it any other way.

You are my person. You know everything about me, but you love me anyway. You know all of my hopes and my dreams, and you encourage me to pursue everyone of them. You have seen all of my flaws. You have saw me at my weakest and strongest moments.

You have been there for me when I felt lonely, and you've been there when I was completely surrounded with everyone I love. You have fought so many battles by my side. You tell me what I deserve, and get mad at me when I allow myself to get less than that. You hold me accountable. You never fail to give me life advice, even though you sometimes have to shove it down my throat.

You are always in my crowd, and I couldn't be more thankful. The support you give me is beyond anything I could ever ask for.

You encourage me. You inspire me. You give me hope.

Your self confidence is inspiring. You love others more than you love yourself. You develop friendships with everyone you meet. You find happiness in even the darkest of times. You laugh when you want to cry. You strive to achieve every goal you set for yourself. You are the best friend that anyone could have, and I'm so happy to call you mine.

You have a heart of gold, and I am so happy to have you in my life. When I say you are my best friend, I mean it with everything I have in me. Thank you for beating the stereotype and being a guy that's a girl's absolute bestfriend. Thank you for listening to me always and never failing to voice your opinion.

You are so loved by me. I will forever be on your side and on your team. You mean the world to me, and I hope that I never let that go unseen. I'll forever be one call away. Thank you for the best 3 years of friendship. I don't want to ever go through life without you again. No one could ever take your place.

Thank you for everything. I love you more than you'll ever know.

Love always,

Your biggest supporter and best friend.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
