Kindergarten Brought Me My Best Friend

You have shaped me into a better person, a better woman, and definitely a better dancer.

Kindergarten Brought Me My Best Friend
Allie Bishop

If you would have asked me two years ago, I would have never thought my life would be filled with so many amazing, supportive people.

If you would have asked me two years ago, I would never have thought I would be blessed with the friends that I have. I would never have thought my kindergarten best friend is the person who I now turn to for everything, almost 15 years later.

Oh, the irony.

I am a huge believer in the idea of everything happening for a reason. If something in your life is supposed to happen, without a doubt, it will.

After being kindergarten best friends and then growing up in different schools, I would never have thought we were going to be reconnected as college roommates. If that doesn’t scream it was meant to be, I don’t know what else does.

I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am that after 15 years, my best friend and I are so unimaginably close. Words cannot express how blessed I am to have someone so kind hearted, loving, and supportive in my life.

All I can say is thank you.

Thank you for always making me laugh. Thank you for always letting me cry.

Thank you for belting Bruno Mars with me while were in the car driving. Thank you for all those bathroom pep talks. Thank you for all of our dance parties.

Thank you for being there for me for some of the hardest times of my life.

Thank you for never being afraid to tell me when I’m wrong. Thank you for never getting annoyed with me. Thank you for all those times you stood up for me to whoever and whenever.

Thank you for being you.

These last few months have not been the easiest, but you never allowed me to forget that there is light underneath the tunnel. You always reassured me that eventually, it will get better. And for that, I thank you.

Thank you for showing me what a true best friend is. You have changed me, and benefitted my life in so many ways, I cannot even begin to count.

You have allowed me to grow into a better person and helped me see who I truly want to be in life. You have shaped me into a better person, a better woman, and definitely a better dancer. My life would be incomplete without you.

And for that, I am unapologetically and forever grateful for you.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
