Next year, as we go off to different colleges, I will miss seeing all of you every day, but I know our friendships do not end here.

A Letter To My Best Friends As We Head Off To College

Liza Thorell

Dear best friends,

As we get closer to leaving each other for college, I have a lot to thank all of you for and many things I want to tell each of you. First off, I love each one of you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank God for my best friends. Thank you for always being there for me. Some of you have been around since kindergarten and some just this year, but each of you mean the world to me.

I cannot believe we are old enough to be heading off to college. It seems just like yesterday we were playing with Barbies or going to Jonas Brothers concerts. We have been through it all together, the good times and the bad, and have so many memories from those times. It is all of these memories that make up the beautiful friendships we have. Life would not be the same without you by my side and the funny photos we have to look back on.

Thank you for always supporting me no matter what I do. There has never been a time where I felt like I could not call one of my best friends when I have had a problem. I do not know how you do it, but you always have just the right advice to help me and make me feel a whole lot better. Leaving my best friends next year honestly scares me. These are people I have known my whole life, they know my weird quirks and love me for them. It is hard to find people who genuinely love you for who you are and are always there to support you and cheer you up. We have even rocked one pieces at camp together (best choice ever).

My favorite verse in the bible is Sirach 6:15, "Faithful friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth." There is so much truth to this. There is no price tag I could put on my friendships because each friendship is priceless to me.

Thank you for being my study buddies. There are some classes I would not have done nearly as well as I did without you. Even if we did get off topic a lot while studying, it made things a lot easier to have someone to study with.

To say I could not do high school without each of you is a understatement because I could not do life without all of you. Next year as we go off to different colleges, I will miss seeing all of you every day, but I know our friendships do not end here. It will be much more difficult to maintain our friendships since we will not see each other. I can't wait to see how each one of us grows as people and as friends in this next chapter of life. I love you all dearly and will cherish our memories forever. This is not a goodbye, but simply a see you later. I know all of you are just one text, call, or FaceTime away.

P.S. I cried while writing this because I love you all so much and I am always here for each and every one of you.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
