A Letter To My Best Friends

High school may not have been the best years of our lives, but I met you guys, lifelong friends, thank you for everything.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Mary Kate Mullen

We've grown up together, from kindergarten to senior year; we walked the same halls, had the same teachers, and sat in the same chairs. Although we all became close at different times, we ended up as best-friends and I know you all will have my back for the rest of our lives. From bike rides, to driving cars, from homecoming to prom, and 8th grade moving up day to high school graduation and everyday in-between you were the ones I wanted by my side. We've grown up together, you guys have taught me so much. Even though I left for school and moved 2 hours away to Keuka College, I sure didn't miss a beat with you all. So this ones for you guys, thanks for being my best-friends.


You've shown me what I deserve, you tell things straight up and don't beat around the bush, but that's how it has to be. You have given me advice when I needed it the most, and an ear to talk to when I had no where else to turn. You have done things for me that others would have either thought twice about or would have turned their back right away. You have made me laugh when I needed it the most.

You know everything about me, from the way I order my food, my drink of choice, the outfit I'd actually be comfortable in, the face I make when I'm annoyed or probably any emotion for that matter, you know what I'm afraid of.

This summer we've gotten closer than ever; practically spending every night together between work and sports schedules. Doing random adventures, anything to have fun and spend time together before two of us head away for school and the closest we'll get to hanging out is texting how bad our day went or comparing our crazy assignments in our group message, and the only way I'll get to see your faces is Snapchat. Thank you for having fun with me and being down for whatever even if it's just watching a movie or sitting in the hot tub.

So to my high school best friends, thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart. We started as friends and are becoming sisters, you all are the sisters I've never had, never leave me side. From worrying about me when I first went away to school because I never answered to laughing at me for the stupid decisions I make. You guys show me what good friends look like and I can honestly say I've never been closer to someone, you guys know me like the back of your hand and I wouldn't change a thing.

You made high school tolerable and you'll make the rest of my life enjoyable.

I love you Fab 5 or as they call us... Mom Squad

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
