An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Jordyn

Thank you for always being there for me.

Thank you for always being a phone call away.

Thank you for making me smile when times were hard.

Thank you for always giving out hugs.

Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your family.

Thank you for loving me.

Thank you for being here through thick and thin.

I am so thankful for the countless vacations that we have been on.

I am so thankful for the memories that we have created with each other.

I am so thankful for the many school events that we have attended together.

I am so thankful that I have you in my life.

I am so thankful to know that I will always have you.

I am so thankful that the distance has not separated us.

The distance has only strengthened our relationship.

Every time we get together, it's like we never left.

We pick up right where we left off.

Although we text all the time, seeing each other in person is so much better.

Or those phone calls just to vent about how someone pissed us off.

I am so thankful that our busy schedules still allow us to talk.

Looking back to our days in middle school and then to high school and now college. We have gone through so much together. Cried together. Made so many memories together. And the memories are still coming. And I hope they never stop. Even when we graduate and get real jobs. And once we have real jobs, we will call each other complaining about how much we hate this person and how we don't want to go to work in the morning. And I hope the memories don't stop when we get old either.

I know that no matter how many miles apart we are that we will always be best friends.

Who would have thought that over the past twelve years that our relationship would be to where it is now. Basically sisters.

I know that distance will never tear us apart.

I know that you will always be there for me.

I know that through thick and thin you are here.

You are like the sister I never had.

I was able to get a bigger family out of your family.

And that is something I am so thankful for.

I am so thankful that my best friend is now family.

I am so thankful to call you my best friend.

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.
