An Open Letter To My Best Friend

We survived the growing pains.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Madison Huffman

You were there through the awkward stages and the boy crazy stages. You were there to laugh with me when awkward things happened, and there to cry with me when things went wrong. I can't express how meaningful our friendship has been throughout the years, I can only hope to paint a picture through words of how much I love you.

When we first met, I had no idea we'd become sisters. People laugh, but I'm serious when I say you're my soulmate and there will never be another friend like you in my life. The trust we've built is rock solid and something I can rely on. You're the first person I've been able to share my deepest, darkest struggles with and not fear judgement.

I only hope I have showed you the same love and support that you have shown me. I've made it my goal to always make sure you know you are cared for, that you know I'm someone you can always turn to no matter what, and that when you have nothing else, you always have me. Death will not do us part, because I'll come back to haunt you, I promise.

Not a lot of people will understand our jokes about Mexican food, or our deep love for coffee, but we understand it and that's all that matters. I cherish the small similarities we share (which is a lot, because we're basically the same person). I love that when I hang out with you, I can expect to laugh until my stomach hurts and we'll sound like dying geese together. You are my best friend, my sister, my soulmate, and the greatest love of my life all in one.

If there's ever a time we are not friends, the world will have stopped spinning because nothing could wreck the bond we have. There's nothing I can say besides thank you; thank you for being everything I've ever needed even when I didn't know it. Thank you for the donut runs when I felt like I couldn't breathe through tears, thank you for the memories of following around cute guys in the mall when we were in high school *cringe*, and thank you for always loving me. I hope you know I will always love you too.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
