A Letter To My Best Friend In A Different State

Hi there,

I just wanted to tell you I miss you more than ever. I hope you are happy and are living your life. I hope you forgot about that boy who broke your heart that you were with when you lived the next town over from me. I hope you have new friends that make every day special. I hope they make you laugh on your bad days, and they wipe your tears on those days as well.

Saying goodbye to you was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time. I was saying goodbye to the girl that helped me through all my heartbreaks, bad grades, college rejections, and cheerleading practices. I knew that you leaving was going to be hard, but the thing that gets me through is the fact that I know I will see you again.

I miss seeing your face all the time, and showing up at your house for random visits. I miss jumping on the bed and listening to music we would scream at the top of our lungs. I miss the silly questions you would ask me when I just said the answer. I miss your family, and I miss them accepting me into your family like they were my own. I miss eating ice cream with you and talking about boys. I miss yelling at each other for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I miss the smile you would make when you knew you did an oopsie. Not being able to hug you on my bad days is the hardest part. I would give anything for you to be here right now, but we both know that can't happen. You have to live your life, and meet new people. It's a part of growing up. No matter how far away we are from each other, we will always find our way back to each other when something good or bad happens to one of us.

Thank you for all of the good times we had together. They will always hold a special place in my heart. There are so many little memories I hold on to make me smile when I miss you the most. Thank you for always being there to remind me you love me. Thank you for making me smile on my bad days, and supporting me through everything I've done. Thank you for listening to me ramble and thank you for also telling me to shut up.

The best part about this friendship is that we don't have to talk to each other every day but we always pick up where we left off. We FaceTime here and there, and text each other about our days... but we don't need to do it everyday to remind each other we love each other. The bond we have in this friendship is unbreakable, and nothing will ever change that. I know that if I ever lost you as my best friend, I would lose a part of myself. You have impacted my life in such an important way that I will never know how to thank you for all you've done. No matter what happens with us, I will always love you and be here for you. There are no words to describe how much I miss you. That's normal I suppose. I hope that you are loving life where you are, and I hope that the memories you're making now will have an impact on you like ours had an impact on me. I hope you never forget about me, and I hope you laugh when you look back on all we've done together. I hope you tell your new friends about me and I hope they can see why we're such good friends. I hope you still call me when you have a heartbreak, and I hope you still text me when you can't find beef jerky at the grocery store. I hope that you know no matter where you go in life, you will always have a friend by your side. I hope you have people in your life that remind you every time you see them how amazing you are. You are one of a kind, and no one will ever replace you.

Love,

Your friend who misses you today and every other day.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
