For The Forever Best Friend Who You'll Forever Be There For

I miss you, I love you, and I'll be here for you — always.

It's so tough to see your best friend struggling and going through a hard time. It's even tougher being 1,400 miles and 24 hours away from her.

But no matter the distance, no matter the time zone, no matter what, I will always be there for her.

I know I can't always be there physically, but I'll always be by her side. Through the good times and the bad times, I'm here. I know it hasn't been easy for her lately and she's going through so, so much. It hurts me to see her upset and struggling and I wish I could be there for her- to hug her, to drive around and sing with her, to have a dance party with her, to sit around and do nothing, to just be there with her.

But right now, I can't. I know I'll see her soon, but right now, a text or a FaceTime just doesn't seem like enough.

To my best friend, please know that I am always here for you, even when I can't really be there.

She's the toughest girl I know. My best friend is so strong, physically, emotionally, and mentally. She's a collegiate athlete and the fastest girl around, and I couldn't be prouder. I wish I could see all the times she runs across the finish line in first place, but I promise I'll be there cheering her on someday. She's gone through a lot of big life changes lately, and it's undoubtedly been tough. It would be incredibly difficult for anyone to go through what she is going through, but she keeps going. My best friend continues to work hard and keep a smiling face despite all the hardships in her life. She is so, so strong.

I am so proud to call her my best friend and to see her continue to do great things as she goes through so many painful life changes.

Yes, it's hard. It's confusing and it's just not fair. Everything that she's going through, she doesn't deserve it. But it'll be OK. To my best friend, I promise you it'll all turn out fine. It's so tough now, but you're even tougher. You're strong, you're smart, and you're you- and that'll always be enough. These hard, painful times won't last forever.

I'll be there for you through it all and it'll be OK in the end, I know it.

To my best friend, I'll always be there for you. Even though we're far apart, I'm only a text or a phone call away. And when that's not enough, remember I'll be there soon. I can't always be by your side physically, but please know that I am always in your corner. Whenever you need someone, know that I'm here. Anything you need, I'm so happy to help. To my best friend, I miss you, I love you, and I'll be here for you- always.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
