A Letter To My Best Friend Back Home

We may not see each other all the time, or talk everyday, but I just wanted to thank you for all that you do and let you know that I’m counting down the days until I see you again!

A Letter To My Best Friend Back Home
Jessi Sell

I can honestly say the fist time I met you, I had no idea that we would be where we are now. We met through a mutual friend (who oddly enough neither one of is is friends with anymore). You seemed nice, but that was as much thought as I gave it. I had no idea that you and I would soon be so close. Honestly, these days I can’t imagine my life without you. The first FCCLA hell week we survived together proved to me that we were going to be friends for a very long time. That week we napped in the hallways (that’s totally normal right?), ate a ton of candy ridiculously early in the morning and complained about how much we hated the world. When regionals rolled around, the stress was gone but our bond wasn’t.

During my senior year, I looked forward to our “study hall” every day. From eating Dippin’ Dots and gossiping with Amy, to Starbucks and Chik Fil’A dates, second period was always the highlight of my day. I can honestly say there aren’t many people that understand me quite like you do, and that’s something I’ve missed out on in a lot of friendships. I remember one summer night when something stupid happened and I was upset, I came over to eat ice cream with you and talk on your porch. I came to your house in such a bad mood and left feeling so much better, all thanks to you. I cannot thank you enough for all the times you’ve helped to totally turn my mood around by just being you.

Now that I’m in college and you’re finishing out your senior year, we don’t see or talk to each other as much as we used to. Even though I wish I could see you everyday, I am so blessed to have a friendship that can pick up exactly where it left off no matter how long we are apart. You are the first person I go to when I have a problem, and I know that I can talk to you about anything and everything. You always give me the best advice and are always there just to listen when I need you too. I am so happy and proud of everything you’re doing, and I owe you so much for supporting me through this bumpy year. Thanks for all our lunch dates and letting me help you with your FCCLA project/eat Brinner with your fam.

I miss you so much, and I can’t wait to kick it with you at FCCLA state again this year. I love you to the moon and back!

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.
