A Letter To The Best Friend I Made At College

I'm so lucky to have met you.

To my best friend that I met in college,

I never would have thought that coming to college would reward me with someone as wonderful as you. Although you didn't like me at first (which I think is hilarious), we both grew to love each other and understand one another in a way that I had never shared with another friend. After our first year together, I felt like I had known you for a lifetime, not just the nine odd months we had spent at school during our freshman year. You became another piece to my whole and now I can't imagine my life without you.

We have so many memories together that I am so thankful for, and they exist because we just happened to choose to attend the same university. Whether it was eating too much dessert at the dining hall, talking for hours snuggled up in each other's beds or just being silly, you've helped make every memory a good one. Don't get me wrong, friends that meet in college fight like any other friends do. But, we have this weird way of fighting where we get everything out in five minutes and then laugh about it ten minutes later because it's so hard to be mad at each other.

It was kind of coincidental meeting you, considering we're only 10 minutes apart at home and we never knew it until we met at college, but it never makes saying goodbye any easier. If it's leaving for the weekend or leaving for the summer, you and I are both silently counting down the hours until the other returns. We miss each other like long-lost sisters and that makes my heart happy because I don't have siblings of my own.

College has been so wonderful to me, in this way, because it brought me you and I know I'll have you for life. I imagine us going crazy together when we each get jobs after graduation, you helping me move into my future home and standing near the altar at my wedding. You've become so meaningful to me in such a short amount of time because realistically, college doesn't last as long as everyone would like you to believe it does. Time flies and I'm lucky to have spent my college career with you by my side.

I love you, and I will forever. Thanks for being you.

Love, me

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?

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.
