To My Long Distance Best Friend, You're Still My Number One

The miles are nothing to friends like you and me.

To My Long Distance Best Friend, You're Still My Number One
Meghan Owens

Dear Bestie,

It’s been a long time since we tore up the town on 'Thirsty Thursdays,' or lived only minutes apart. With the end of college came the end of our time in the same cities, and for a while, even the same state.

We’ve grown so much in the short year since then, but there are some things that haven’t changed a bit: you’re still my ride or die, my friend turned sister and my shoulder to cry on. Above all else, I’m still one of your biggest fans.

To the friends who become family, it takes more than a little distance for our bonds to fade.

I want you to know that I miss you all the time, even if I don’t always say so. I smile every time I think about all of the good memories we had together, even if we haven’t seen each other in a while.

It means the world to me when we do get to see each other. I know that no matter how much time was spent since our last shenanigans, we’ll pick up right where we left off.

I will never blame or resent you for being too busy, just like I know you understand when I get lost in my own life for a while.

Know that I’m only one call away when you need to cry because Derek Shepard died on Grey’s Anatomy, or if you just want to vent about what’s going on in your world. And I love every silly snap and picture you send my way — they help keep me up to date on your adventures even when I’m off having my own.

Life is crazy, winding, and unpredictable. There’s no telling if we’ll end up living down the street from each other, or in different countries. But one thing I can promise is that the miles are nothing to friends like you and me.

Love,

Meghan

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
