An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Another School

Everyone has that one best friend they basically did everything with. My best friend happened to live around the corner from me.

To say I am appreciative is an understatement. @NORA (what people call her, her name is Noa) there is no one else I would rather eat with (yes I love the food at your house its amazing), watch TV with (Laguna Beach will forever & ever & ever be our show), and most importantly get through high school with. We always had each others backs through it all whether that was in our favorite class biology or our favorite class math with our favorite teacher ever.

In 9th grade Noa & I had english class together. We were reading the book Of Mice & Men and called ourselves Lennie & George because I'm tall and she's small. We thought it was the funniest thing ever.

One time I decided it would be a good idea to wear ugg slippers with no socks to school and it was pouring rain so I made Noa come and pick me up. She still makes fun of me for that. Still sorry.

Another fun memory is when I came up with her bat mitzvah theme. Noa loved that so raven so I came up with the theme "That So Noa" for her. Yes I thought that was the coolest thing ever at the time.


Nothing beats when Noa and I decided to play volleyball together. We lost every single game and I could not get the ball over the net and happened to be the tallest one on the team. I even remember once I asked the coach to sit out because I didn't feel like playing. Dedication is key. This picture says it all.


Noa and I used to take this Dance Jam class together and we honestly didn't sweat once but to be honest it was so fun. WORK.


This one time I dragged Noa to come with me to meet the fashion blogger We Wore What. This blogger has millions of Instagram followers and she had no idea who she was. I thought it was the funniest thing ever that they took a picture together.


This is Noa & I with our favorite teacher ever.


Even though Noa and I don't see eachother everyday whenever we are both home at the same time its like we never left. I am so lucky to have had a best friend like her all these years. Love you George.

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?

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!)
