Dear Best Friend...
Anna Torres

Dear Best Friend,

Before I start this letter out, I just wanted to let you know that no matter how busy I get or how many people come into my life, you're still my all time best friend. There aren't enough words to describe how much I miss our little hang outs; whether that be after class, going to dinner, or making time to hang out even if we should be doing homework. I miss our long nights of doing complete randomness; the times we drank alcohol that smelt like expo markers, dancing to dance mom videos, and just talking for hours about anything and everything you could think of.

Eating lunch and dinner isn't the same without you, all those times we would watch Netflix and eat were always so much fun. We've watched probably a million cute animal videos just from our little meal dates alone. But it was all worth it because in the process, we've became so close. We've became best friends in such a short amount of time, i's like we were destined to be.

All those times we sat down and started to do homework but ended up just talking about anything and everything we could think of. I think we've spent hours talking about the paranormal and how we believe we are aliens; which we obviously are. We've also talked about what pets we want, our dream houses, our hopes for the future, and how much we love food. No matter what the topic was, I feel like we would always end the conversation with what we want to eat for dinner.

There are so many memories to look back on, a bunch of inside jokes that will never get old. All those little walks and talks about life, meant so much to me; I hope you know that. Those chats that might have seemed mindless at the time, meant more to me than ever. Because you were someone who understood me, and was always there to listen even if I just needed to rant. I was there for you as well, and we were able to talk about anything on our mind even if it just was a rant. We had each other, and I truly needed that.

The best part about our friendship is that we managed to stay so close even while we are far apart. We can post videos or pictures on Facebook and know that the other is going to love it, without really having to even think about it. It's humorous to me when I can find a post and the first thought I have is, She would love this! We have so many similar qualities, it's probably one of the many reasons we got along so well, so quickly.

But no matter how many words I type in this letter, or how many memories I write down, nothing compares to how tremendously grateful I am that you are my best friend. People come and go in our lives so much in college, but the fact that we remained such close friends is what keeps a smile on my face. I know that no matter who comes into my life and completely tears it apart, I know I still have you to talk to and always go to. I cannot thank you enough for being there, being my best friend; I don't know how I could have survived those couple years without you.

Thank you a million for being my soul sister, my homework buddy, my night out buddy, and most importantly; my best friend.

Love,

Me

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
