A Letter To My Friends: What You Mean To Me
Kayla Creamer

To my near and dear friends:

Where do I begin? First and foremost you ladies have been in my life for a very long time. It is crazy to think some of us even went to elementary school together. Life has been a crazy ride, and I'm so lucky and glad to have you along for it.

Nothing makes me happier than knowing my true friends will always get along, will always hangout together, and will always share with each other. Whether it be good news, bad news, life plans, shocking issues, you know I am here for it all. And I am so appreciative to know that I have you guys to turn to always as well.

From when I need you most, to when I need to kick back alone, you guys understand, you offer support, and you know just what to do, to help me feel okay.

You ladies are my clarity, my backbone when I need it. You are my smile and my laugh, you are the reason I pull through on my toughest days.

Having friends like you means more to me than you know. I do not feel ashamed to say anything, I don't hold back any details. You know me better than I know myself. With that being said, you look after me and ensure I am okay. You protect me while I protect you.


You share happiness with me. Your happiness is mine, and mine is yours. You support me with any idea I have. But, you also reason and rationalize any dumb idea I somehow conjure up (this happens often). We enjoy the time we share together, and make memories with every new day.

When I need a shoulder, you're there. I could not imagine getting through some of the situations I thought at the time were most tragic, without you. And you're reading this agreeing, and also laughing at the issues we faced that we once thought would break us. Because always know, I am here through every problem you face, and you are so strong that you can conquer anything- and believe me, angels, you will.


Oh, how we have grown. Knowing you girls throughout the years I have watched you shape into beautiful, thoughtful, selfless and intelligent ladies who I couldn't be more proud of. We have all come a long way, and we are on the right track for success. You are driven, ambitious, determined, and overall amazing. Any path you lead will bring you nothing but happiness and success, I truly believe in you.

...And you believe in me. On my worst days, you are there and give me strength to rise. You're always there, and are able to talk me down from anything. You help ease my mind from the whirlwind that anxiety brings into my life.

When we go out, we have the most laughs. We tend to prove we are strange, awkward, crazy, and yet, hilarious. I couldn't be my best self if it weren't for you, encouraging me to put myself out there and leading me to believe I am someone to be proud of. You show me I am worth more than anyone could even afford.


All your friendships have shaped me into somebody who wants to be better. Who is always thoughtful, who cares for anybody, who is respectful to others, who is open to listening always, who provides support, who lends a helping hand, because you ladies have proved you will always be there and do the same for me. I couldn't thank you enough for the lessons I have learned through you.

Whether we lead different lives, live in different areas, work different schedules, you girls will always have me to lean on and be there through thick and thin.

All my love.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
