I couldn't thank you more for sticking right by my side.

Looking Back At It: A Letter To My High School Best Friend
Ally Rosenfeld

Looking back at it,

you are my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my cheerleader and, most importantly, one of my best friends out there.

We have known one another for a crazy duration of 4 plus years. We have conquered so many obstacles together, enjoyed countless times of laughter from our inside jokes, cried over the smallest things and have vented out some of the most personal things to one another. Looking back at it, high school was such an amazing experience with you being such a large part of it. Beyond my academics and various classes, you were there when I needed you the most, and, for that, I would like to extend a large thank you.

For starters, our inside jokes and laughs are so fantastic and enticing. There are so many that I could list right now in this letter to you, but, quite frankly, no one else would understand what in the world we are even speaking about! I love having that special bond with you, that truly doesn't compare to anything else. Every friendship that an individual has with one another is unique in its own way. And, I am especially lucky that the friendship that we share has so many humorous aspects to it.

I would also like to thank you for accepting me for who I am, as you would know that I would and still will always do for you. You knew me during my younger years as an underclassman in high school, and were there to cheer me on and give me the immense amount of motivation to strive for the best. You only wanted and still do want me to achieve my largest goals that I have set for myself in life.

And, as you know, the feelings are completely and utterly mutual. A gigantic smile arises out of my face whenever I hear the great news that you aced a test you studied countless hours for, or maybe the try that you scored in your rugby game. You aren't only one of my best friends from my high school years, but I have no doubt whatsoever that we will remain so very close for the rest of our lives. Someone who has had such a big impact on me in such a positive way, deserves more than anything to be in my life wherever life ends up leading me. I promise to be there for you whenever you need me at any given time. Although our schools may not be right around the corner anymore, if you need me just know that I willbe there.

We always talk about what we want to do with our lives when we grow up. Being bridesmaids for each other and hopefully teaching classes of children near one another. Our futures hold big and exciting expectations to come, but, for a moment, I would like to reminisce on the past.

Thank you for being there for me to talk to whenever I was experiencing typical boy drama, going on crazy wild adventures with me, having endless sleepovers and making sure that we both got to school at the same time each morning so that we could sit next to each other at breakfast. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime.

With lots of love, this note is most definitely for you,


Ally.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
