To The Friend That Stayed With Me Through It All

Caitlin Monahan

Dear Best Friend,

After more awful friendships than a person can even imagine, I was convinced I'd never get to experience what a true best friend was like. Then one day, during junior year, I met a new student in chemistry class. Who knew that all these years later, through high school and college, we'd be where we are today.

I am so happy to look back on the years and have so many precious memories with you. I even think back on my darkest times to realize I was never truly left alone. Out of all of my friends, you were the one who would always listen to me and let me rant for hours. I finally found someone that loved talking as much as I did, wanted to stay up at all hours of the night to play video games and run to the local wrap store and order food (so often, that they knew our orders by heart).

You are worth so much to me. I can't picture myself without having my best friend by my side. Even though we've both gotten older, and we both have crazy schedules and lives, we still make time to keep in contact weekly and stay close. I am grateful to finally have found someone that put an equal amount of effort into a friendship. It makes me feel truly blessed to be able to have someone like you in my life.

I know you have the brightest future ahead of you. You are going to do amazing things. No matter what happens in the future, I will always have your back and support you. Take chances and risks, push yourself to do the impossible and make yourself the happiest you can be.

I am the proudest I've ever been of you. Thank you for showing me how a friend should treat me and that I deserve more than what I was receiving. You helped me gain the confidence I needed and made me want to better myself.

Thank you for completing me. I love you!

Your Best Friend

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
