A Letter To My Best Friends I Met In College

“I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help. If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you!" — Joey, Friends


The best friends you meet in college are a very special breed and are very hard to find. They accept you despite your homeless, running-late-to-class look. They love you in spite of the many times they've had to hold you hair after a night out or comfort you after a break-up. They claim you as their's even though your dance moves resemble Taylor Swift's and you're just plain goofy as hell (because chances are they're just as weird).

To my college bff's, first and foremost I want to say thank you. Thank you for being my therapist, occasionally my roommate, wing woman, study buddy, travel companion and partner in crime. Thank you for giving me a closet to steal from, a shoulder to cry on and always answering yes when I ask if you want to get food. Thank you for loving wine, The Bachelor and Ben & Jerry's as much as I do. Lastly, thank you for always knowing exactly what to say and how to cheer me up on my worst days.

After years of friendship, I now know why they say the friends you meet in college are your best friends for life. We've managed to maintain our friendship through the stress of finals and you're the only people who make pulling all-nighters fun. We're all basically part of each other's families now. We binged on fast food and pizza and we still thought you were beautiful after the Freshman 15. We've witnessed each other's terrible decisions and don't judge. We know all your secrets and idiosyncrasies and love you anyways. We've lived together and made it out alive. Your the girls I want beside me when I say "I do" and in a few years I want to be able to call you up and set up a play date for our little ones. Thank you for being the bright spots during the most stressful, confusing, costly time in my life.

So, to the best friends I met in college, thank you for being you.

“Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” — Sex and the City

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.
