To My Long Distance Best Friend

I miss you.

Facebook

I know we don't talk every day and we haven't had an actual conversation in a while, but I miss you. I miss the way things were when I was home. Sleepovers, spontaneous food runs, karaoke in the car, everything.

I miss you.

I think about you all of the time. I hope you are doing great. College is a struggle, and being hundreds of miles from home doesn't help, but I know that things will go right back to normal when I am. You are in a way, my role model. Ever since Kindergarten when we met, and you were better at art than I. I have looked up to the way you care about others and give everything you can to help someone. (Or a cat) You are so intelligent and have always been a step above me. I envy you and wish that I could take all of your qualities and put them in myself. You INSPIRE me to be a better, more genuine and honest person.

I miss you.

We used to run around, ride our sleeping bags down the stairs, sing the "Rainbow Monkeys" song, take silly photos and even play our belly drums. I miss it all, but I know that us growing up, will not diminish those memories.

I cannot wait to see what you become in the coming years because, all of your life, I've thought you were ready to do big things. Leading, teaching, and changing the world in small but meaningful ways even in Kindergarten. Your passion is compelling, and your hard working attitude is contagious.

God, I miss you.

I was talking to my friend the other day about how often I wished that time would stop. Stand still, and let me just enjoy is a little longer. I think about what it would be like now, to go back to when we were little. I constantly think about how much I want to change the past, but the more I look into it, I wouldn't change a thing. If it were not for all of our memories, especially with you, I would not be anything like the person I have become.

I miss you.

I cannot wait to come home this summer, go out to eat together, have picnics, paint, watch our old Rock Band and Music videos, see movies, and for things to be just as they were. The good old days with "Samsters and Lexmos."

All in all, you just make me so proud and I get excited when people ask me about my Best Friend because I could talk all day about you. You are such an inspiration, and you are my rock. I love you so much. Don't ever let someone change you. You have it all girl, and you deserve the world, Sami. When you and I are old and living with a million cats, I just know we will have the best stories to tell.

I miss you so much.

I love you to Saturn and back, to infinity and beyond, to the ends of the earth.

-Lexi

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?

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?

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.
