A Letter To My Best Friend

For our friendship over the years.

A Letter To My Best Friend
Amanda Herbert

When I look back to middle school now, I can't believe how much has changed over the years. However, one thing has remained constant: the relationship between my best friend and me. I'm grateful to know her. I like that I can talk about anything. I remember our handshake from middle school. If anything our friendship has only grown from over the years. We have been there for each other through the good and the bad. You have accomplished so much and I couldn't have picked a better person to be a lifelong companion.

I don't know what it would be like without being your friend. Our inside jokes are perfect. We always know exactly when to look at one another to make each other laugh. Our daily trips to Soho are the best, but I think the best thing we can go anywhere and just honestly have fun. I am never bored. We always have stories to share with one another. I know I can rely on you for anything. I know you will always be there.

It's funny to imagine that we were sitting on a hot gym floor 10 years ago in a gym at P.S 92. You have come so far and I am so proud of all you have accomplished and will in the future. We hardly argue. We know each other to the point where they can't be disagreements. I hope we never do but only continue to grow and prosper.

I want you to know that I will be with you through thick and thin. I will be with you every step of the way. We are on the next path of our lives soon. I know that even after college I will count on you for advice.

You're my confidant, literally my other half.

I hope that we're roommates. I hope that we never lose ourselves. I want you to always remember all the good times we have shared with one another. We have reached so far.

I just wanted to say thank you for sticking by me. You have never left my side once. You allowed me to be myself. You accepted me for my flaws and my choices. I hope you know I will never judge you for anything. This is us!

Don't let anyone tell you can't do anything. You're awesome and most of all you are my friend.

Now we are in our senior year of college. We have been through different crossroads in our lives. We both made new friends, but there will never be another us. I'm blessed to have had a friendship like this. I hope 20 years from now that we're still as close as we are now.

I know you're going to shine in the future. You will accomplish amazing things. I pray that all your dreams come true. You deserve every inch of happiness in the world. This is for you. This is for our friendship and everything for the years to come.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
