A Letter To My Long-Distance BFFs

I haven't forgotten about you.

A Letter To My Long-Distance BFFs

Even though we are now miles apart, I still miss you.

Don't get me wrong, I love college. But I will forever cherish our memories from the four years stuck in the jail-like purgatory they called high school. From early morning hikes, to sunset beach trips, to getting Mexican food all hours of the day -- I miss it all.

Some think that missing your high school friends means you're living in the past. I say it's reminiscing about the people who made you who you are today. Without you, I wouldn't understand the meaning of true, unconditional friendship. You have seen me at my best, and at my worst. And by my worst, I mean my brace-face days (a huge thank you for sticking by my side through that rough time). You have been there for me through all my awkward struggles, and been my person to lean on when times got tough.

I think the distance makes our friendship stronger. Now when we do finally get a Wi-Fi connection bearable enough to actually be able to have a conversation and catch up, it means so much more. We don't take each other for granted and those short conversations mean more than you could ever know.

I definitely stalk you on all social media more than one person should... It makes me happy to see all the new friends you have made. Yes, sometimes I get jealous when I see all the pictures you're posting. But only because I wish I was the one doing all those fun things with you. I truly am so grateful for these new friends you have made. Now I can know that you will have someone to share secrets with and text at 2 a.m. when you really need fast food.

If you get a bunch of notifications on Instagram from me liking your pictures, it's only because I miss you.

No matter how many friends I make away at college, just know you'll always have a special place in my heart. Even though we may be in different time zones, different states, different towns, different colleges, I still consider you one of my closest friends. And I don't plan on that changing any time soon.

Here's to many more FaceTime dates, handwritten letters, and reunion hugs at the airport.

xoxo,

your long-distance BFF

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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.
