An Open Letter To My Long Distance BFF

I wish you where here to experience it all with me, but I know you're only a FaceTime call away.

An open letter to my long distance bff,

I want to say I love you and I am so proud of you. You are my other half and I'm so blessed to do life with you. Since we separated for college, it has been hard to see each other but when we are reunited, it's like nothing has changed. You understand me like no one else, and I'm glad we have this weekend to pick up exactly where we left off.

I will never forget the day you moved away. I was happy because you were so excited to live in a place that you have always wanted, but I was so sad because my miss lady was going to be miles away from the place where we grew up. But in the end, we made it work and now our friendship is stronger and more sacred because of it. It has only been a year, but since then, I have moved out of that small town myself, reached new goals, and fallen in love with the opportunities life has thrown my way. I wish you were here to experience it all with me, but I know you're only a FaceTime call away.

We may not go to parties and make stupid decisions like we used to, but there will always be a time for us to pop a bottle of "Kinky" (your favorite) and complain about things that don’t really matter. We may no longer have a countless number of sleepovers, or decide last minute to travel to Indianapolis to meet someone famous, but I know no matter how old we get things won't ever change.

What is truly great about all of this is no matter how old we get there will still be time for us to make a few more immature decisions that might lead to $1200 tickets or jail time but as long as we are in it together, you better believe I'll be along for the ride. What we have is something people could only wish for in another person, and I am thankful for the things I have learned because of you. Our friendship has taught me that it doesn't matter how many miles apart we are when it comes to people you love. Above all else, our friendship is something to cherish and be proud of. It's easy for friends who live so far to grow apart, but you always seemed to be there at the end of each and every day.

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.
