To My Best Friend Going To A Different College
Caroline Cook

Dear best friend,

Thank you for all of the years we've had together. Our friendship is iconic and always will be no matter what. The memories are countless and ones I cherish so close to my heart every day. You are my other half. You've been there for me basically my whole life and I really can't imagine where I would be or for that matter WHO I would be without you.

Living five minutes away from you since kindergarten was the best thing in the world. Once I started to drive you better believe I could get to your house in two minutes and 30 seconds without hitting the light. We have been in sync for so long now and the one thing I never thought we'd have to do finally happened... we had to go our separate ways.

Leaving you behind, nearly four hours away, honestly scared me. I didn't get to just pack you up and bring you with me no matter how much I wanted to. You knew you had to do what was best for you and go to the college of your choice and I had to do the same. But that didn't make it any easier. We could no longer go for rides while jamming to our favorite songs and make videos. We could no longer spontaneously go to ATL for day trips without telling our parents. We could no longer go to late night movies, camping in your front yard in the middle of winter, or do our fun photo shoots.

I knew things would be different and that I would miss you more than anything.

However, as the semester went on we called each other, texted each other, and even face-timed whenever we could.You visited me when our schools played each other and we made the best out of the time we had. We had to make some adjustments and that was okay with me. I want to tell you that no matter how far apart we are you'll always be my best friend. You're always going to be the one I go to for support, friendship, happiness, the truth, and so much more. I look forward to coming home to see you and doing those things we use to do when we lived in the same town!

I look forward to hearing how college is and hearing about all you're accomplishing. I love to know you're doing what's best for yourself. I know you'll go so far in this life and I am so lucky that I get to be the one to see you prosper. You have so much to offer and you're going to do big things in this world. This friendship is one that will last forever and I hope you know that's a promise. Sure, our lives are different than they use to be... we've made new friends, done different things, went different paths, but our friendship still stands just as strong if not stronger.

So here's to all of the years we've been the dynamic duo and many more to come!

Remember, no matter where you go or what you do, I will always be your biggest fan. You'll be standing beside me one day at my wedding and being basically an aunt to my future kids. Our friendship is unstoppable and distance has nothing on us! I love you and cherish everything you've done for me throughout the years.

Thank you for being my true forever friend.

Love,

Your best friend

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
