A Letter to My True Best Friend

To my best friend:

Marisa,

Hey! I know we don't talk every day. We really don't talk much at all. I just wanted to say thanks. That is really all this is about. First, thank you for the Skateland couples dance. Seriously, those were the only times we had our chance to talk. You were so quiet. I think that's why I liked you. Opposites do attract...obviously.

Thank you for listening to every complaint. You always have been, are and will be there for me. Thanks for all of the plans. (We still have to get a house or live next door to each other.) Thanks for being my future maid-of-honor. You're welcome for being yours.

Thanks for taking me to Sea World and Aquatica. Thank you for giving me such an awesome vacation. The first vacation i ever took by myself, without family or friends. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Every vacation took with you was unforgettable. Atlantic City, Ocean City, every beach and boardwalk. Every water slide, All of the camping trips. Every bonfire and s'more. Oh goodness, the laughs. From Carly's chicken and corn to you marrying Brad. Thank you for being the best concert buddy.

No one will ever compare to you. You are more than a friend, more than a best friend. You are a sister to me at this point. Remember Frank and Tyler? Oh my goodness. We have so many good great memories. I would never trade them. Thank you for staying my favorite. Maryland, Pennsylvania or Florida. Between and beyond. You are worth flying over 1,000 miles just to see for a week. I'd do it to see you for one minute. You are more like a sister to me than my actual sisters!

Thank you for the Cinderella key chain. Thanks for stopping into Costas so say hey on your way home for the holidays. Thanks for introducing me to Riley and Jamie. A huge thank you for spending 16 hours at Disney with me. My feet hurt and my body hate hated me after that. It was definitely well worth it. Even with all of the sass that day. I'd say we are doing good for a 15 year relationship. Oh! Didn't you have a wooden futon?

So, before I forget...tell momma Kristen that I said "Thank you for everything you've done, all of the pancakes, her laugh and everything she's supplied us with." Tell your dad that I said "Thanks for taking us to all of the concerts and being our personal security guard. Thanks for trying to embarrass me, but it never working! Thanks for making Ris' face blood red anytime with embarrassment!" Thank them for everything. Thank your whole family for loving me as if I was one of your sisters. I hope everyone is well and I will see you this summer! I love you more than boys. Tell Matt I said hey. Give Mojo and Dudley love for me. I cant wait for this summer. Stay golden, pony boy.

Oh, and we still have to get matching leprechaun tattoos.

Seriously though, thanks for being you. Love you!

Love,

Maria

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Seriously, who wouldn't love pizza?

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
