Thank you for loving me unconditionally and being there since day one.

Dear Astraea,

I can not find words that are strong enough to express how much you mean to me and how much I cherish all the things you have showed me throughout the years. You are my dearest friend, the person I trust with my heart and my soul. I remember the very first day we met, all the way back in the sixth grade. The first time I heard your beautiful singing voice during Mr. McCollumn's choir class, I knew that we were going to be incredible friends. All throughout middle school and high school, we definitely had our ups and downs. There were many people that walked into our lives who only wanted to break us apart, but we knew that we could withstand anything and anyone that tried to get in the way.

As I think back on the many years we've known each other, I can envision our highest of highs and our lowest of lows. From our endless sleepovers and many laughs, to breakups and heartbreaks, we've pretty much experienced it all. I especially remember the night you left for college: our two hour long crying session because we were finally going to be apart from each other after seven years of seeing each other almost every single day. We knew it would be tough, and it definitely was for the first few months, but I believe that being away at college has made us even closer than we have ever been before. We can go days, even weeks, without messaging each other, but when we do finally talk it's like we never stopped talking in the first place.

I know college has been rough for the both of us, but I also know for a fact that you are going to become an amazing Astronomer some day. I can't express how incredibly proud I am of you. You graduated second in your class AND attend the Florida Institute of Technology. You're in Florida discovering amazing new astronomical advances and I knew from the very start that you could do it once you put your mind to it. I'm not going to lie, being this far from you is incredibly tough sometimes. There have been multiple times where I've needed a shoulder to cry on and I've prayed to God that you were here to be that comfort, but I know deep down that I'll see you soon and that you're doing incredible things while you're away.

I've met a lot of people in my life time, but no one specifically like you. I knew from the start that there was something really special about you. You've touched my life from the moment I met you and I will never let that go. I look up to you because you are strong and caring and beautiful. You are and always will be an inspiration in my life.

Keep powering through school and know that I will forever be here for you whenever you need me. Although we are away from each other, I will never leave your side. You will always be my BFFLADWJEMCAAQ, even though everyone else has left us throughout the years. Even though you're 550 miles away, you will always be my number one, my ride-or-die. I'll see you really soon and remember: may the force be with you while you're in Florida!

Your favorite puddin' cup,

Jaz

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

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

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
