Thanks for being my best friend through the thick and the thin, and for never leaving me wondering on where I needed to be in life.

A Thank You Letter to my Best Friend of 10 years

Well, we made it!!! Ten years ago you walked into my life and it has not been the same since. You came at such a young age that I do not have many memories that don't include you in them. You came at a time that I desperately needed someone like you, so for that I thank you.

You came at the most awkward stage of my life so far…middle school. These were the years of growing into yourself, Bermuda shorts, and every single t-shirt saying “aéropostale”. Thank you for not thinking I was weird and for sticking around.

Our relationship has not always been rainbows and butterflies. We argue like sisters, and sometimes fight like cats and dogs but without it my life would be very dull.

Our good moments way out our bad moments by one in a million. I have never laughed, cried or gossiped with anyone else as much as I do with you. You can turn my crappy days into my happy days with just one word, or one look; it’s astonishing that only you can do that. For that I am very very thankful.

You know when to yell at me and pretend to be my second mom when I am doing something I probably shouldn’t do. Yet, you also know when I need the right amount of cuddles on the days that nothing is going my way. You know my favorite ice cream and are always down for some binge watching of all the Nicholas Spark movies, which I need probably once every 2 weeks. You know when I need what before I do, and for that I am forever grateful.

Ten years is a long time to know somebody, one whole decade, half of our lives have been together. Thanks for being my best friend through the thick and the thin, and for never leaving me wondering where I needed to be in life. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for always giving me a place to stay if need be, a second family, but also thank you for being you and choosing to be there for me the last 10 years, here is to ten more.

- Love, your best friend

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
