A Letter To My College Best Friends

Thank you for being there through the tears, the stress, when I am in a terrible mood, the laughs, when I need to rejoice in my successes, and need comfort in my failures.

A Letter To My College Best Friends
Madison Pisarchick

As I came into college, I was expecting to make some friends but never realized I would have been grateful enough to meet you. Out of the the thousands of colleges that we could have chose from, we chose the same one (maybe that’s why we are such good friends, we have amazing taste in universities). At the beginning of the year when we first met, I never realized how close we would possibly get. We are hours away from each other and had never talked prior to meeting at college. Thankfully, we met because you are my rock, my go to, and most of all… You are my best friend.

First, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being there through the tears, the stress, when I am in a terrible mood, the laughs, when I need to rejoice in my successes, and need comfort in my failures, you are ALWAYS there! I have barged into your room yelling about my problems or laughing about my dumb mistake I had done earlier that day, and you didn’t even question why I never knocked. You are honest with me. When I have made a mistake or am not pushing myself to my fullest potential, you do! You keep me in line just as I do with you.

Thank you for being the most fun person I know. The memories, ahhh the memories. We always laugh endlessly about the dumbest things possible. You are always up to go on every adventure possible. From going to the city out on a whim doing whatever to deciding to rearrange the room at three in the morning, we have done it all! It is great knowing that you are always up to do whatever. We are both so free spirited and fun, the times we have together never fail to be amazing.

My biggest thank you is for never getting tired of me. Spending day in and day out with someone you think you would get annoyed, but we never do (well at least you never make it known I do). If we make each other upset or mad we talk about it and are able to fix the situation because we know our friendship is more than a stupid fight. We might watch Netflix and do school work for hours on end, but somehow we still find a way to make it enjoyable (as enjoyable as it can be, sometimes school work can really suck).

Overall, thank you for everything. Don’t get me wrong, my best friends from home are absolutely incredible! There is just a certain bond between two people who started out at a completely new place together and had to make friends from the get go. Thankfully, you were the one of the best ones I met. You are absolutely everything I look for in a best friend. I know for a fact you will be my lifelong friend that will be in my wedding, a godmother to my children, and my neighbor in the nursing home. Thank you most of all for being you, my best friend.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
